Wishes and Progress

I'm so excited for the trip to England already. Nii-chan says that I've been bouncing even more than the time I was waiting for the Uni exam results! I didn't think that was possible. But I really can't wait already. I've been to England before, but never really without a translator or a tourguide. It'll be nice to go by ourselves, ne, Gakkun?

And I really, really want to thank Kirihara Akaya-kun and Krauser Liliadent-kun for their help with my dog-translator! I think we're making a lot of progress as far as variations go and we can't wait to see how it works on the rest of our sample population! Currently, the translators are working on making a word bank for cats, so I have another long wait while that goes forward. I wish I knew more about animals and things so I could help out there, but I'm just a mechanic.

Goals for the New Year, right! Hmmm, I kinda want to finish the animal translator for at least four animals! It's been around for ages as far as my usual projects go! Then, I want to try and push the mobile charger that uses your own body's electricity to have more publicity. I think it's really neat! And of course, try and figure out this bacteria thing. But those are work related stuff, so it doesn't reeeaaallly count.
As a person, I want to become someone who my friends can depend on. Because lately, it's been me using everyone as crutches. And I don't want that! Friendship is supposed to be a two-way street and I haven't been too great on that front. So I'm sorry for this past year, but I'm going to work on that!

Heh, it'll be awesome! We can do all sorts of things we couldn't do before, like... I'm not sure, but we'll think of something. If nothing else, we can go to a British candy shop or something.

[[ooc: did they go to a English club together yet or...? I feel like we might have mentioned it but I'm not sure]]

:D Caaannndy. I hear it's really different there. I want to try some proper Cadbury's milk chocolate!

As for new experiences, we should go to see one of their themeparks or something!

[ooc: I think they did, for Kabaji's wedding...]

I know right? I forgot to get some last time!

Ooo, I wonder if those are different. It can't be that much, right? Still the same rides, probably.

I depend on you, Jirou. I have never felt like a crutch, I assure you. It's just, what you provide to me is immeasurable.

I'll look forward to hearing about your trip when you return.

Thank you, Kei-kun. I'm always really grateful for everything you do for me and half the time it feels like what I can do isn't nearly enough! But you keep telling me it is, so that's okay. But I guess I do wanna stand on my own two feet a bit more. It feels like I've been dead weight, even if I haven't, so I guess I wanna stop that feeling?

And yes, I'll write it in a report if it leads to anything fruitful. Otherwise I'll just talk about it!
