Well, much has changed since I last posted. In 9 months I've gotten married, been accepted to a PhD program, moved back to the U.S., and started school. I'll not bore you, dear reader, with the details, but I thought now might be as good a time as any to start writing again. At least it will put off writing a review of an article on Leader-Member Exchange Theory for another 15 minutes.

Today I came home from school and my wife had bought a little Christmas tree and set it up in our living room. It is sort of a Charlie Brown tree, no more than 2 feet high, but I could tell that she put a lot of effort into making it look just so. She always liked setting up our tree together in Japan, but I think she wanted to surprise me this time around. It made me pretty happy that she let me put the star on, even if it is more than 2 weeks too early to have a Christmas tree up.

最近、学校のことをちょっと心配してきました。勉強は難しいですけど、それは当たり前。心配してるのはフォーカスがちょっとなくなってきた。毎週面白いものを読んでるから自分が勉強したいことが見えなくなってきた。面白い先生と話すと、その先生の選考の道へ行きたくなるけど、次の日に違う先生と話すと違う道が面白くなってきてる。まぁ、何も面白くないより全部面白いのはいい問題だと思うけど、ちょっとストレスがたまる。12月23日からの冬休み入ったら、よく考えないといけない、と思います。
