I was very lucky enough to spend 3 weeks in Japan, traveling the country, “island hopping,” with my Japanese professor and several other students in the program. It is by far one of my most treasured experiences, seeing so many of the places I had spent so much time studying and learning about. Safe travels!

'Her' ? I've always found it really odd to assign a gender to a journal 😂
@pennyrosejournals13 күн бұрын
All my journals are ‘her’ or ‘she’s when I refer to them. I think it’s because I spend so much time with them that it becomes uncomfortable to refer to them as ‘it’. They are more like people I know to me in the end. It’s not really about giving them a gender, it’s about being fond of them and accepting that to me they have personality. Probably the same reason I name them all.
