Accepted to Grad School

I applied for the Asian Studies master's degree program at the U of U, and was accepted for Fall 2009. I've got my schedule worked out and have signed up for my classes. 4 of them will count for the major, and one of them won't because it's just a 1000 level class that I'm taking to better prepare for grad school at Hawaii. Yuko will also be going to school at the U (assuming we can both get residency tuition... if we don't, the milkman will make his strike). In fact, all 4 classes she is taking are 4 that I'm taking too. So she'll be able to take all of her classes with me. Score 1 for us against the textbook Nazis. Suckaz!

We'll go to the U of U for a year, and then I will (hopefully) go to Hawaii for 2 years to get master's degrees in Japanese and Anthropology. After that, I want to get a PhD in Anthropology. Right now, I either want to do that in Hawaii, or I might be able to get it (or do part of it) through Hawaii while going to a school in Japan and doing research. That's still 3 years away though, so who knows what will happen.

Way cool! Keep it up!

Hawaii is great. It kind of feels like half Japan half U.S. which is perfect for you two. :)

Thanks everyone. :D

Yeah, that half Jap/half US thing will be interesting. That's one reason I want to go to Hawaii. I'm assuming that all the Japanese language and culture there will make for some good study and research. We'll see how that goes though, because I'm also assuming that the scenery and beaches won't be the most helpful...
