Sunny, 9C (11C)

I located the one synagogue I know of in Tokyo last night. I woke up depressed.

But...

People!

I have officially been offered a place on the Birmingham program! :-D

Take that, TAU!

But, god help me, I don't know how I'm going to pay for it...

toriaizu, I think I should just accept it now and then worry about actually starting in April or October when the time comes for me to pay....

(Accolades are indeed welcome, as I could use the cheering up just a bit : I wish I could go celebrate, but I'm too poor and friendless. >[ )

===EDIT===

I have decided that in two weeks' time I shall attend the live musical event presented by the Okinawan band I love, Kariyushi! Until that time (um, actually, until a few days in advance since I'm reserving for it), I will invite along anyone and everyone who will listen!

It shall be wondrous fun and celebration! And it'll be after I get paid so I'll feel rich even though I won't be! But it'll be good for me judging by this morning!

Don't you wish you were coming?!

Yes! I totally changed all the punctuation to exclamation marks! Now it's even more exciting!
