Okay, so I'm really bad at introductions , but I will try my best to make this as painless as possible...
Hello, my name is Laura and I'm from the USA. I'm hoping to make some new friends here while at the same time learn some more about Japanese culture and politics. I've developed a deep interest over the past year in Asian (more specifically Japan and China) cultures and world affairs after taking a class on Global Issues during my past semester in school. I'm not quite sure if I will change to a major focusing on Japanese cultural studies and language (took a class in high school, but never went further), and/or world affairs, but currently I am a fine arts major.
Aside from Japanese culture and politics, I also love a lot of cinema and music that comes from the island.
I love movies, art (I like using watercolor, pen & ink, and oil pastels), and D&D (Dungeons & Dragons). I am currently an apprentice to an independant artist who does outdoor and indoor sculpture. I can't think of much more to say.
Sorry if this is too long!!! :sorry:
 
Hello, and welcome to JRef!

I think some colleges have majors in Asian Studies, if you're interested in that and have trouble choosing. But since you're in a fine arts major already (and hence probably already in college)...

Well, hope you find what you're looking for here.
 
Hi Koneko, wow, we are both from FL... small world!
Welcome to jref... some really nice people here... are you currently attending HCC or USF?:-)
 
Welcome Koneko!! I hope you enjoy it here on JREF. You have a lot of great interests. I wish you luck in everything that you do. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. See you around.

I am so sorry to be slow in replying to you all, unfortunately I got tied up all weekend.
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome :-)
And the answer to Anjusan's question: I am a student at the University of Tampa (10 minutes south of USF).
 
Ah, you are attending a fine institution. I wish you good luck and perseverance in all your endeavors.😜
