hallo! this place seems really neat, hopefully i can fit in.
i'm a pretty casual final fantasy fan, but my all time favorite is ffix, so that's probably the board i'll hang out most in :D
other than that, i'm a college graduate and i majored in international studies: japan. i may go on to get my masters, or i may just move right on over to japan. it's still up in the air.
nerdy fun fact: i started saying "alrighty" regularly after first watching a scene in ffix...9 years ago :p
Hey hey! Nice to meet you!
It's not hard to fit in here.. we have a diverse range of members. :) Though, all are appropriately nerdular.
Welcome! We have the same favourite FF, so you've passed the entry exam!
I thrust out my left hand instead of my right hand. The situation becomes awkward and strained as I switch to my right hand and you switch to your left.
An Iced Saltine would not taste very delicious.

I approve of your major. Japanophilia is among the ultimate philias. I went to Japan in April and desperately, desperately want to go back. I'd move there if my husband would go with me, and sometimes I think about doing it anyway!
What do you do with a degree like that anyway? Do you speak Japanese? I'm on Rosetta Stone Until 2. xD

where did you go?
and it's a political science degree (or at least, that's one of the routes you can take) and if i were to get my masters i'd probably head in the direction of international law...big-wig bureaucratic type stuff or maybe try the political arena.
there are also a couple of options that include teaching over in japan. some official government type jobs, others are independent businesses and usually take place in juku.
as for my language capabilities, i can read and hear japanese pretty fluently now, but my speaking skills are absolute crap. i stutter and stumble a lot and forget which form goes where and it's not pretty ~_~
i've never used rosetta stone but a trick i picked up that really helped improve my understanding of japanese was to watch kid shows in the language. disney movies in particular, if you can get a hold of one of the multi-language dvds.
How gullible do you think I am? Crackers don't have hands, not even virtual ones.
