A thousand a day...62
Sunrise through my window. The one and only reason to like 8 a.m. classes...you wake up to something beautiful.

One of my best friends, Alexa, is getting married in October 2011, so a few of us went with her to a bridal show in Greensboro where we saw stands for photographers, DJs, balloons, dresses, tuxes, dishes and, by far the best (since we got taste testers), cake...

A thousand a day...58
Laura likes to talk to her ingredients when she's cooking. She anticipates the lime's excitement in being zested and shows genuine interest in what the fish's life in China was like before coming here.

Laura aka Roomie and I moved into the Oaks for our final semester at Elon, and this is just one section of my new room.

A thousand a day...Journey to Japan (Part IV)
Day 50: Jan. 25, 2010 (Tokyo)
Our final day in Japan was spent atop Kyoto Tower for a final view of the city.
Afterward, we traveled to the home of one of our classmates. He took us to a shrine (again set in a mountain) where we descended stairs into a pitch black chamber with the hopes of shaking Buddha's hand.
Day 49: Jan. 24, 2010 (Tokyo)
A day in the most magical place in all Japan: Disney Sea!
Day 48: Jan. 23, 2010 (Kamakura)
A 45-minute train ride took us to Kamakura for a day of temples and shrines. Hasedera Temple, set in a mountain, gave us a beautiful view of the sea. There were so many other special things to admire.
Day 47: Jan. 22, 2010 (Tokyo)
At the observatory on the top of a building (almost 50 floors up), we were able to once again appreciate the sights of the city.
Later in the evening, a group of us went to the hotel's aquarium to take in a dolphin show and enjoy the fish.

A thousand a day...Journey to Japan (Part III)
Day 46: Jan. 21, 2010 (Tokyo)
We were invited to the Foreign Correspondents' Club luncheon where we heard Mr. Suzuki speak about his company's new deal with Volkswagen. With his caterpillar eyebrows, Suzuki-san is 80 going on 56. The secret to his excellent physical and mental health: work. He says he is in the prime of his working career.
Day 45: Jan. 20, 2010 (Tokyo)
At about 8 a.m., Tsukiji fish market is just winding down after a busy morning filled with fishermen and restaurateurs chopping, cleaning, bargaining and buying. The fishermen were so welcoming to our presence as we watched them in awe.
Taking a full behind-the-scenes tour of Kyodo News was a highlight of the media portion of our trip. The newsroom was packed wall to wall and floor by floor with intrepid journalists.
Day 44: Jan. 19, 2010 (Tokyo)
It was one of those days...the kind where you go to places that don't allow photography. But later in the evening, we did come across a Krispy Kreme donut shop. After experiencing Japan's trademark in the donut world, Mister Donut, Krispy Kreme just can't hold a candle to it.
Day 43: Jan. 18, 2010 (Tokyo)
Walking around Ueno Park this morning, we discovered the Ueno Toshogu shrine. My favorite part was seeing the wish paddles. People will write a wish on the paddle and hang it up. As the wind blows, the wishes are carried away with it to come true. The paddles were written in all different languages - from what I could distinguish, I picked out English, French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and German. Reading the wishes was something incredibly special - I felt that by reading the wishes, I was helping them come true.
Day 42: Jan. 17, 2010 (Tokyo)
Hundreds of people flock to Asakusa Shrine in Tokyo. People wave the holy smoke over the part of their body they need help with most - for example, their head for more knowledge, biceps for muscles!
Day 41: Jan. 16, 2010 (Kyoto)
The morning we left Kyoto for Tokyo, we climbed to the top of Kyoto Station one last time. It was the cloudiest and dreariest day of the trip...Kyoto was sad we were leaving.
