Days 40-54: October 26-November 10, 2009 Sorry I haven’t updated in two weeks, it’s been pretty crazy for me. I don’t remember what I did the 26th through the 29th… Probably just the usual… Go to school, come back, occasionally go to the supermarket to get food… Nothing big. On the 30th I went to Karaoke for the first time. Masaki, Nicole, Molly and I walked to the other side of Warabi station to go to this fairly cheap place. It was hella-fun! On the 31st, I stayed in most of the day so that I could rest up for Halloween night!!! The package Jessy sent me came sometime during the week (Thursday I think…), and so I basically only wore stuff she sent me. I bought this little headband with a crazy little hat attached ... read more

Days 21-30: October 7-16, 2009 On the 7th, it was still raining… We had to go watch a film --The Funeral-- for a while, and then we went to Akihabara. A word of advise for anyone going to Japan, Akihabara at night in the rain is miserable on a Wednesday night… I imagine I’ll go back one day though; it seemed like a good place to get a lot of souvenirs for people back home. By far, it’s the most touristy place I’ve seen since I’ve been here. On the 8th, the worst typhoon to hit Japan in 10 years (according to an article I read while trying to find out if the train lines had been canceled) hit us; well, it hit the other side of the island more than it hit us… But we ... read more

Days 13-15: September 29-October 1, 2009 On the 29th, we went and figured out our placement test results. I got into Japanese 3, which I was a little disappointed about, but then I figured, since I hadn’t finished IJ yet, it was probably appropriate. Then we went to our advising session, where the man told us that he had no clue what he was supposed to do, we didn’t register until the 2nd, and we should all just leave. Nice waste of around $7 to get there… I did nothing on the 30th. I cooked dinner, and was completely lazy besides that. It was wonderful October 1st is my first day of school. So I leave a bit early so that I know I’ll get to school on time and partake in my first crowded morning ... read more

Days 6-9: September 22-25, 2009 The past few days have been pretty laid back. Both on the 22nd and 23rd, pretty much all I did was wake up, talk to parents, go out exploring (I found this HUMUNGUS 7-11, I was so happy), eat lunch while out, come back, make some sort of dinner, talk to more people, go to bed. It was nice having a few quiet days. The 24th was the day of orientation, and Ashley and I had met in the hallway the night before and made plans to go together. Lita and Shinae went with us too. Orientation wasn’t until 2:30, so we decided to leave at 12, eat lunch in Yotsuya, then go to orientation. Well, it took us longer to get there than we thought it would, so we had ... read more

Day 4: September 20, 2009 First of all, I just realized I’ve been putting all my dates as August, so now I have to go back and change that… Woke up, talked to mom and Chris At noon, a bunch of us met up to go to Harajuku. When we got there, we ate in this building with a bunch of restaurants, and it ended up all the guys ate Thai and all the girls ate Chinese. Then we searched around for the main street; it took forever, but we found it. Some of the boys broke off while we were in a store, so it ended up with just 6 of us. We walked the streets and went into a few stores. I got yelled at because I was trying to take a picture of ... read more
