I met Chika,my ITP colleague, yesterday at a izakaya restaurant in Tokyo. Cho- natsukashi!

After two years wandering around in the U.S., I finally came back to Japan.
I took a subway the other day, and my train was delayed for a minute (note the fact that train comes in every 2-3 minutes). The operator announced his “deepest” apologies for not meeting the schedule and how the train delay might caused any inconvenience. Knowing this kind of sincere apology never happens in New York, where subway delay is part of your day, I was overwhelmed by the politeness of Japanese public transportation.
Welcome back to Japan! Okaeri =)
Purple nails with a flower and initials of my school.
I painted on my nails with initials of my school to celebrate the end of my graduate program. These are temporary, and I may take them off after graduation!
Commencement tickets, flyer, and purple wristbands
I am not sure how much I am ready to graduate, but I picked up my attire and commencement tickets. There seems to be a grad alley happening on campus too, so I am excited to take my parent around.
As of May 2, 2010, my thesis “beta” site has eight members now. It was five last week. I am happy that the number has increased even by a bit.

Purple nails!
In preparation for a commencement, I changed my nails yesterday to pure purple that matches with the color of my university logo. Put rose stickers to add some love =)
