Bio
My name is Andrew Corbin, most people call me just Corbin and I'm fine with that, in fact more often than not I prefer it. Long story short no matter what form of school I have gone to there have been alot of Andrews so we had to differentiate, since I hate being called Andy, Drew, or some other type of nickname I was assigned as Corbin among my peers, and it stuck.
I'm a current student at <a href="http://www.sunyit.edu" title="SUNYIT Website" rel="nofollow">State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome</a>, or SUNYIT for short, at which I started attending Fall of 2004 after graduation from Morrisville/Eaton High School. I applied to both <a href="http://www.rit.edu" title="RIT Website" rel="nofollow">RIT</a> and SUNYIT but chose the latter because of dorms and money ($20,000 cheaper >.SITAC</a> ( SUNY I T Anime Club) was born. It has since grown to be the second largest student club on campus and we held our first Anime Convention called <a href="http://www.sitacon.com" title="SITACon website" rel="nofollow">SITACon</a> in the fall of 2006. SITACon was the first Anime Convention of Central New York, we were also the largest student run event of campus ever.
Initially I started at SUNYIT as a Computer Science major, until I found out that I hated programming... I am now a Business and Public Management major with a minor in Comp Sci, since I saw no reason to throw away the credits for the previous courses. My focus is on International Business and eventually I want to work in a company that is either based in the US or Japan and has strong ties to the other country. So things that I have done have been to work towards that goal.
In the Spring of 2005, during spring break, I travelled to Tokyo, Japan for 8 days. I took tons of pictures and it was such a great experience, I knew I had to go back to Japan. I stayed in ryokans in <a href="http://www.libertyhouse.gr.jp/" title="Taito Ryokan" rel="nofollow">Asakusa</a>, and <a href="http://www.homeikan.com/" title="Homeikan Ryokan" rel="nofollow">Bunkyo-ku</a>. Full details of my trip will be posted to my VirtualTraveller Page.
I should probably get to why I created this blog. I didn't just make this for no reason or to just write about little nothings, I actually created this blog with a purpose: to detail my experiences in Japan, as well as give information and advice to those wanting to know about study abroad, what to do in Osaka, Japan and surrounding areas. I will post pictures as well as have links, and hopefully it entertain as well as inform. So with that I welcome you the reader to Corbin In Japan.
