So I've had all my classes except Art and Understanding which I assume will be boring and will make me want to immediately go to bed as soon as it's done since it ends at 10pm. So my thoughts on the classes so far ( Read more... )

The countdown til I leave seems so much more real now and I know I'll be happy to see everyone and maybe even a little happy to go back to work but I'm still not looking forward to leaving. My dad wants me to stick around in Springport until the 11th which, isn't what I wanted, like at all, I wanted to just pack up and go home within like a day or ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to Spa World with the boys and normally that's a good thing. Spa World trips have been nothing but fun so far. Not this time. It started with us in the circle kinda lazy susan type pool thing and they were goofing around and having fun while I was in the back getting water splashed in my eyes and knocked around by any little kid in ( Read more... )

Blind Spot isn't nearly as fun as it used to be, sure I could try and speak Japanese since no one other then Wataru and Taisei even remotely try to talk to me. The only time the other people try is when they need help with their English homework, which doesn't really strike me as a good friendship. I mean, they're nice and all but I need a little ( Read more... )

I went to Takahama last weekend for the 7 year festival, which, as you can probably guess is held every seven years, so I guess I picked a good year to come to Japan. Anyways, we left on Friday, going from Hirakata-shi to Shibuya (i think) where we walked around, visited a bakary and waited for his parent to arrive to get us. We arrived at Ryu's ( Read more... )

So yesterday I was waiting at Ryu's place for him to get back so we could go out to eat with Yusuke and Wataru but Yusuke showed up early, like way early. We sat there talking about fast food and how he went to a gay bar but is definitely not gay. He made a point of saying this I don't know how many times....then the conversation just went down ( Read more... )

THEY HAVE -A -A -A GIANT SEPHIROTH LIFE SIZE REPLICA IN THEIR FLOOR AND I JUST SHUDDER WITH A MIX OF OVERWHELMING FEAR AND THE NEED TO HAVE HIS BABIES. *ahem*  Let's start over...I'm gunna go to Tokyo and be all touristy and go to a lot of places but by FAR I'm most excited about the Square Enix store. They have chocobos man! Tiny, adorable, ( Read more... )

It makes me really sad to think that I'll be back in America in less that 100 days. I started packing some stuff today and this weird vacant hole started forming in my chest and I haven't been able to shake the feeling. I'm really leaving Japan, that's really gunna happen and I....don't....want to. I'll lose a lot when I leave including probably, ( Read more... )

A lot has happened since the last time I posted; I went to Nara, I experienced my first earthquake, and ummm other school related stuffs. So I went to Nara quite awhile with Ayaka and her mom...her mom can't speak English but it was pretty easy to understand what she was saying. We did typical Nara stuff, feeding deer and seeing the giant buddah ( Read more... )

So I went to Nara today with Ayaka and her mom, we were supposed to meet at 10 but I woke up realizing I had no idea how long it takes to get to Osaka station and I'd probably take longer then that to get there so we later agreed upon 11:30. Unfortunately, I misjudged the time and ended up at Osaka station at 11. So I spent my time txting people ( Read more... )
