w00t. So just thought I’d post a happy little random update thingy. Ummmmmm So we took a trip to Kamakura last weekend. Tons of fun, I’ll have pictures once I recieve my camera wire in the mail -.-
We went to a bunch of temples and stayed in a Yokan. The Yokan was awesome. Public bath and everything :P. We saw the statue of the Great Buddha and also took a small day trip to Enoshima (the miami beach of Japan *rolls eyes*). Again, tons of crazy pictures of awesome stuff….but must wait for my camera wire to arrive so I may upload T-T.
Sooo this week in Japan is Golden week! Which means lots of sales and tons of people everywhere….and lots of time off of school. We have off tomorrow (monday) and then thursday through sunday. I’m sure you could expect I’ll do a lot of shopping (and drinking XD) with my time off. On saturday I discovered the cracked out fun of going to Karaoke and getting drunk…I never understood the amusement in such a thing…until now. Probably do it again tonight…:D

Oh…and happy birthday to me btw XD. April 22…almost forgot my own birthday.

OMG! yes finally Ive gotten some computer access. Excuse me if Im my typing/english is poor at the moment, Im on a japanese overload and Japanese keyboards are really messed up so its a little difficult to type. Soooo lets see. My first day here was utter hell. 14 hours on a plane…then like 4 more hours at the airport going though immigration and waiting for Kuniisan to get the other students…the dragging like 70lbs of luggage on the Trains…which we had to take past Kanagawa to Shibuya (I think) then someone finally met us to take us back on the trains to our dorm…which is at the top of a HUGE hill which we had to drag all of our luggage up…and then finally we arrived at like 9 T-T. The next day we took the placement tests and stuff lol Im in level one of course. AND with our free time Liz and I went to Harajuku to go shopping…on a sunday so it was really crowded…but I bought a cute skirt from putumayo and the girl who worked in there spoke english so she was like stalking us to talke XD. AND I got to finally see the H. naoto store!!! I think I might go invest in like a $300 outfit XD. Liz and I bought cute backpacks from the naoto store for school….muahahaha and they have match outfits that I really just might buy. Im all in a shopping mood here but I know I must resist.
Class started on Tuesday…and holy crap…Damn Koreans know everything we are learning…so the class is at kind of a fast pace. Im told it will start to slow down in another week or so cause theyll start teaching stuff even the Koreans dont know lol. I think Im also like the youngest person in the school. Everyone is like 28, 30, 26 etc…and Im still 20 XD. We’re going to Kamakura next weekend (weekend of my birthday) I think to stay at a traditional inn and see a shrine or something. I think itll be a nice way of spending my 21st. One of our advisors, Tanakasan, is SO effen funny. Hes so serious but humerous at the same time. We plan on getting him drunk and making him sing Karaoke with us XD.

I dont have any pictures to post yet as I forgot my Camera cable and I have to wait for Joe to send it XD. Ill probably start posting in a week or two. For now I must go to class (its 12:00 in the afternoon here btw…and probably like 2 am in the states XD). Sooo I have class in a half an hour. I will update soon I hope.

So…technically only like 2 more days left o_O! Where the hell did all the time go…I seriously don’t remember weeks being this short XD. I’ve got basically everything I’ll need to last me at least the first month ^^….or so I hope. Still don’t feel like I’m packing enough…but then again it would only make for a wonderful excuse to go shopping if I need more clothes XD.

It’s still not quite hitting me that I’m leaving the country. Its funny, today some random girl in the mall came up to Liz and I and was talking about some concert on like the 10th to which we could only respond “we won’t be here o_o”. Seemed odd responding like that. It’s kind of like I’m starting something new and exciting in Japan but I’ll be missing out on a whole bunch of things here while I’m gone. I guess Japan kind of out weighs it all though XD. I’m sure the realization of it will hit me like when I’m on the plane. And I’ll have a whole 14 hours to think about it T-T.
I have, however, been thinking a lot about how much I’ll miss Joe. I haven’t been away from him for more then two days in the past 3 years o_O. I’m also missing out on a bunch of things with him like my 21st birthday and our anniversary. I’m at least glad he’s very accepting of what I’m doing…makes it less hard I think. Hopefully by this time next year he’ll be enrolled in the program with me. I’m definitely gonna keep bugging him till he joins though XD.

*sigh* So ima get off of depressing topics before I bum myself out…

Umm…Saw Shono last Friday. We had our last Japanese/English lesson for now. He’s in New Haven right now for some medical research thing lol. I’m really happy he’ll be in Tokyo in May. Said he’ll probably say a month, and we could probably spend a weekend in Chiba at his parents house. Lol it’ll be strange meeting his family I think. Hopefully by then I’ll know a lot more Japanese then just “…wakarimasen o_O!” XD. He teases me and says I make grammar mistakes like a 5 year old ;_; … I WILL show him up D:
