A week through July now and school is coming down to its last couple weeks! All the reports and presentations are due soon and I have my last 2 written finals on Friday the 18th. All my classes are for business so I had to take sometime to study while also leaving time of course to relax and have fun. I also turned 22 on the 8th so I got to spend a birthday in Japan which was fun and a friend surprised me with some balloons and cake. We also went on a little trip to Kyoto and Osaka for the weekend! I made sure to finish some studying and my assignments so i could take a break before finals week.

My friend surprised me with balloons and a strawberry shortcake for my 22nd birthday! For some reason being 22 feels a lot older than being 21.

Got to see Kyoto tower at night which looks way nicer when it's lit up rather than during the day.

Also spent the day at Universal Studios Japan! It was super fun and super hot at the same time. Got to ride their famous flying dinosaur ride which was probably the craziest ride I've ever been on.

This is a picture of my favorite entrances to my campus. I believe this older builder is for research and there is an old library as well. It's not an entrance I go through all the time but I like to go through sometimes to admire the architecture.
