I think I lost my gym pants. >_<
Seriously.
I
figured since I haven't actually worn them yet I would today for gym.
Once again we were running. Today was the last day though. THANK GOD. I
discovered that the goal of all this running was to run a marathon.
They just seprated it into a bunch of days. So, I can now say that I
have ran/walked a marathon. Woo, do I feel accomplished. We had to fill
out a piece of paper with our times on it (yeah, we were timed as
well) and at the bottom there was a box where we could leave a comment.
Oh yes, I wrote a comment all right. This is exactly what I wrote (in
Japanese of course), "I don't like running. This is cruel and
tourcherous. I'm sorry but I don't like running". But yeah. So I went
in my locker in the classroom (we have mini lockers in our class) and
well, my pants weren't in there. Now I don't know where they are. What
am I gunna do when winter comes??? I wonder if it's a requirement to
wear the pants in winter, too. So, yeah. I'm missing my sweatpants.
I
actually have a lot to talk about. It's been some time, afterall.
First I'll start off saying that joining the Kyuudou Club was the best
decision I've made here (I think) so far. I can't possibly explain how
much I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying just learning how to shoot arrows
(slowly becoming impacient with the fact that I can't shoot any till
around 2 months), but I really like being with my new friends there.
It's sooo entertaining. And being with these people, I'm realizing how
good my Japanese is coming along. Like, I don't even know how we just
start laughing. And this girl, Wakako (I kinda find it hard to believe
that's her name. It's kinda funny) when we ride our bikes back we talk.
Actually I talk with bascally everyone on the way back. That's another
cool thing about having to travel just to get to club. Sure, the bike
ride sucks the way there, it's a slight hill and my legs get
exauggested, but the ride home is fun. I don't get home till almost 7:30
at night now though. I don't eat dinner with the family anymore either
since I'm so late. Hey, it kills some of the ackwardness. But yeah. I
seriously love it there. I look forward to go bascally everyday ^_^ I'm
still regretting joining Sadou. Even missing out on Wednesdays makes
me sad (;_;)
But so Sunday I went to a little
"children's festival" where I helped at the soba stand with Otoo-san. I
seriously love how I'm told I'm doing something without even being
asked (sarcastic). Sure, it's not like I would have said no or anything
but I wish he would at least ASK me. I mean, what if for some reason I
don't want to go and do whatever and maybe sleep because I am tired
anymore. I'm beginning to sleep more often in class. Not a good thing. I
seriously have to do that though. One day after club on the weekend
(no way in hell I'll miss club if I'm able to go) I'm just going to
sleep my day away. I need it.
And I've been writing a
gazillion speeches. Did I mention about how my Japanese Teacher wants
me and Pat to participate in a speech contest? Well, then I said in my
last blog about how I had to write a Rotary speech yet. Writing that
speech was hell, too. Everyone was helping me with it, expecally Ayami.
But I had to keep writing it over and then other people who were
helping me found mistakes when it was supposly correct. Urgh, that was
hell. AND what then pissed me off was that I had to leave school during
lunch just to give this speech. That wouldn't have bothered me at all
IF the past Monday wasn't special. This week, Monday and Tuesday during
lunch there are 2 bands in our school and they were performing. One on
Monday the other Tuesday. I rathered of missed Tuesday's (today's).
Monday's band has 2 of my friends in it, Mizuki and Kei. So, I was
pretty mad that I missed out on that. The next time they perform at
school isn't until sometime in March or April they said. So far
awayyyy~~
But one good thing came out of that Rotary
lunch. I met the grandmother of my next host family ^_^ When I first
saw her she looked mean and like she didn't want to be a part of this.
But then after the meeting everyone was discussusing the details with
her about my stay and she seemed like a really nice person. She was
worried I wouldn't like her house because it's old and she thinks most
girls wouldn't like to live in a old house. But this is what I know so
far: At the house (which I might add is amazing far away) there's the
grandmother, the grandfather, their son, and his 2 kids, a girl 13
years old and a boy 15 years old. There was also another girl named
Yukino but she went to America in the exchange with Rotary. Actually,
she's living in Tunkanock, PA. So, she went to the district I came
from. Which is kinda cool. January 6th is the day I'm leaving the
Fukaya's. In a way I'm really upset about how soon it is but then in a
way I'm kinda excited. My feelings about the situation a still mixed.
Rotary is looking for a 3rd family for me yet, too. If they can't find
one I think I'm staying with my next family until the end of July then.
Oh yeah, it's pretty official that I will be staying till the end of
July. School ends for summer vacation I think the 24th they said so
I'll be leaving around the 30th.
I bought my first manga
^_^ The first book of the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni series. I can't
understand it but I feel happy owning it haha. I read online that the
series is going to be sold in America soon. Geeze, I want a copy only
because I'll be able to read it >_< But manga really is pretty
cheap here. Around 600 yen~approxmite $6. Then again, the yen is worth
just a little more than the dollar now. Shows how much the American
economy is failing when before I came here the dollar was worth more. I
actualy thought I had more to write but I can't think of anything.
Maybe it's because I'm way too tired.
But hey, this
Saturday I'm going to Akihabara!!!! I'm super excited ^_^ Akihabara is a
huge shopping district in Tokyo but it's also a place where tons of
otakus are. Oh yes, I'm going to snap tons of pictures of the
cosplayers. So luckyyy!!! But I can't wait and Otoo-san said that
there's going to mbe a light show there too!! Lots of video and
pictures. I can't wait to even make it hehe^^
