I'm Yu Senzaki, I've been writing this blog since last year and i'm an international student from Japan.You probably won't see me around Campus very often because I'm living in the University Apartments and don't have a meal plan, but still, if you have any problem with my blog, you can comment on it, facebook me, or just yell my name and stop me whenever you see me around.
