About me.

Hello, this is Alisa!!!
Before I start answering questions, I would like to talk a little about myself.
I am Alisa, and currently am studying at an private university in Tokyo.
I live with my cat Sophie, who is a Russian Blue that I adopted :)

I, myself grew up and went to an International School in Tokyo until 6th grade, then went to the states and attended middle and high school in Colorado until 2008. After that, I attended an private high school in Kyoto, and after graduation, attended an private university in Kyoto, but dropped out after an year.
I got back in to uni last year, and am currently in my sophomore year.
My father is English, and my mother is Japanese which makes me an mix, and due to the fact that I look more foreign than Japanese, I get a lot of compliments on my Japanese such as "Wow, your Japanese is so good!" which annoys me at times because I grew up in Japan, and people shouldn't just assume that I'm completely foreign!
Anyways, I like to do horseback riding for fun, and have been riding since I was 6 years old.

Anyways, that was a little something about myself!!

It is terrible.
