So for Golden Week my dance circle, Eagle, went to Yamanashi for its annual dance training camp. Honestly it wasn't that much different from a regular practice expect that we had a lot more space and we were able to spend the night somewhere else, and bond as a group/team/friends. The best part was dancing with friends who share the same passion as me and another awesome part was the view of Mt. Fuji!!
Ta-dan!

The place where we stayed was kind of like a ryokan, but we didn't have all the special services; we had to make our own beds and help clean up after meals for example. But it was all part of the fun. I think it would have been even more fun if my stomach hadn't been acting stupid(damn Chron's disease was acting up again.) And I was eating fairly healthy too; at least until I had the Oreo's and milk at night(I know I didn't need them but I needed comfort food cause I'm slightly homesick lately. And PMSing.)
Here is where we stayed; well the outside at least.

I'm really going to miss my circle when I go back to America. I don't want to think about the fact that I return in a few months and just want to enjoy my remaining time as much as possible.
I LOVE Eagle sooooo much!

On the way back to school everyone was pretty much out(sleeping) so I attempted to work on my Japanese homework. Luckily it isn't too hard so most of it got done.
But the reading is really quite funny; even my host siblings were kinda laughing at it because of the way it is written. It says something like this, "Ranald Mcdonald was moved when he heard that the three Japanese sailors looked like Indians." In Japanese it's ”その三人が(日本人漂流者)インデイアンに似ていると聞いて、マクドナルドは感動した。” I just thought it was funny because at first I didn't know why he was moved until I re-read it and I had to laugh.
My homework for Japanese(besides studying for the chapter test immediately after break *dies)
