Alysse Abroad

As the end of my time here approaches, I'm having mixed feelings.  I remember when I could barely believe I'd been here for a full month, and now I can barely believe I only have one month left. Studying abroad is an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life and then some. I highly recommend anyone who has the chance to allow yourself this experience. I have grown so much, learned so much, and experienced an unbelievable amount of things I never would have if I hadn't taken this leap into the unknown a year ago.  There are no words to describe how incredibly thankful I am to have had this experience. I am thankful to whatever or whoever the force of life is in the hands of for pushing me down this path, to my family and friends for being so supportive of me, for the new people I have met all over Japan (both the ones I will remain close to forever and those I will never speak to again) for shaping my time here, and my life in the process, and to myself for being ...

Something pretty exciting happened to me today.  I got an email from Youtube informing me that my account had been getting enough views to be eligible for partnership.  Now there will be advertisements before and during some of my videos.  I know ads kind of suck, but I may actually be able to make a couple of cents off of them.  If you would like to help me out with this awesome new opportunity, you could click the small ads that appear at the bottom of the video while you watch it.  For every click, I could earn a teeny tiny amount of money.  If not, just ex out of them; that's okay too! I hope the advertisements don't become annoying.  If they do, I will turn them off, just let me know! Thanks!

Something I forgot to mention in my video was that starting next week my dorm will be playing a game of Assassins.  So me and my friends decided to make a little movie trailer for it, just for fun (and because we didn't feel like studying).  The trailer is below the vlog.Keep your fingers crossed for me that I won't get killed on the morning of the first day like I did last time I played Assassins!
