So I ate dinner with my dad on Sunday night, and all he could talk about was getting into a language program at a university, especially the one that my cousin has a friend working there. To be honest, I'm happy where I am. I feel like I'm being pressured into doing this because this is what he wants me to do. I don't think I can do this. I'm happy where I'm at. I'm actually working really hard to learn the language, and the teachers are really engaging. The thing that hurt me the most was that he said that I was "playing around." Actually, I'm not. If this is how I want to learn, I'll do it this way. I don't want to be pressured to do something just because of the sake of getting a certificate from an university. I think this is what got me into trouble in the first place when I went to college, which was going for the sake of getting a degree. Don't get me wrong... I'm thankful that my parents pushed me to keep going and finish, but if I were to do it all over again, I think I would have done things differently. I'm tired of being stressed out because of school. It seriously had taken a toll on me, and if I were to go back to that situation right now, I don't think I'd make it. I'm actually tired of trying to plan out my future. For right now, I will do things the way I see fit. I'm open to suggestion, but don't stuff it down my throat.
I went to get my alien registration card yesterday. I basically screwed up on my route getting there, so it took me about an hour before I got to the Koto-ku ward office. I was able to safely get it, but the card won't be issued until Dec 10. I have a feeling Dec is going to be very busy. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.
