Yesterday, while eating a lunch of convenience store yakitori and rice balls, I received a surprising notification on my phone. I had been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award thanks to Michael over at JapanTrekker, a photography blog that I have been watching for a while now. A lot of his recent posts have been some stunning shots of Japan, but there is photography from all around the world in his archives.
ABOUT THE VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD
The Rules:
1) Display the award on your blog.
2) Thank the blogger that nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
3) Share seven facts about yourself.
4) Nominate 15 bloggers for the award and provide links to their blog.
SEVEN THINGS ABOUT ME
1) I am a teacher, currently focusing on students from the ages of three through fourteen, though I specialize in teaching adults.
2) I can speak conversational Japanese, but can read a little Spanish, French, and tiny bit of Chinese as well.
3) I studied Graphic Design for three years during high school and two years in college.
4) The majority of my photos are taken with my cellphone to and from work.
5) I have suffered from severe food allergies since the age of twelve, although my condition has improved a lot from living in Japan, and taking large doses of medication everyday.
6) My childhood dream was to be an archaeologist specializing in underwater and forested ruins.
7) I cannot swim. At all.
