It's nice to see that the Mugi baton has been passed. You know, there was a time when it felt like I had to fight to get her any sort of shine around these parts!
If you get an opportunity to study/work in Japan, do it. Best time of my life was when I was there and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Japan is pretty great, I hear...
There's something to be said for really being at least a little selfish, and going out to fulfill your aspirations. Though not entirely similar (age and other factors), I encountered a crossroads that was a little similar to yours, StayDead. I was so narrow-minded in graduating and earning my degree, that I hadn't really mapped out what I was actually going to do after the fact.
It's a strange feeling, to feel all this obligation to get things finished, only to then have it all suddenly vanish. It wasn't that long of a period, and I wasn't really depressed or anything - I was just aimless, probably for the first time in my life. But that was only little under a year ago (if that), so it's amazing how fast things can turn around, once you light that fire. I think actually knowing what you're going to do is the most difficult thing.
In fact, a little bit of it was even cataloged along the way in this very thread! Well, the first one.

Hello, new people!
It'd be a little rude of me if I didn't say anything, especially as it's been quite a while since I poked around these parts myself!
I don't know what else to say, other than I have a tendency to talk at length, about anything and everything. Kind of like now...

And with all that said, it's time to class this place up a little!
