"Fuck these patriarchal beauty standards”. I hear you loud and clear, but women wearing pink and glitter and heels are not the enemy. And believe it or not, a whole bunch of women LIKE wearing that shit. We are not dumb, less feminist or watered down because of it. A long time ago when I was in undergrad I walked up to my feminist friends sitting in the grass and they started talking about my pink backless shirt and how their own clothes weren’t so “cutesy,” then it got awkward so I left and one of them said “see you later Blossom”. Do you remember that show? I loved it. But that’s not the point. The point is that my “friend” snuck a little snide comment in front of our all of our other friends simply because I like dressing up. And that was at least 8 years ago and I still remember everything about that day. Feminism is not about laughing at other girls and making them feel insecure. Especially over something as trivial as clothes. Remember you are pro-choice. Respect my choice to wear booty shorts."

Partner, let me upgrade you!
If you know me IRL, you probably know that last month I was chosen to be an alternate for the JET program.
After a while, I made the decision to more or less keep myself available for JET, and this past Monday, I finally sent my decision to the Consulate (the deadline was yesterday, May 1).
Funnily enough, during my nap today, I woke up to a call from the Consulate. The office in Tokyo informed the Consulate that they wanted to upgrade me to the shortlist and offer me the ALT position. Just a day after I’d essentially resigned myself to an indeterminate period of waiting and hoping for good news, I was offered the job!

I’m still in shock, but so excited and feeling so blessed right now. Thank you to everyone who’s been supporting me, I’ll make you proud!!
