Another full day in Japan, I woke up at 8:15 and got a shower. After dressing I went out and went to cook me some eggs for breakfast. Unfortunately I didn't hear the announcement about everyone meeting up at 8:50 so I had to scramble fast and eat fast. This was amusing because Yuri-san and Koko-san tried to help. Once we were all ready we walked to school. Then we filled out paper until like 11ish? Then we went on a Campus Tour until like 3:30? And after that we ...

Did more of the walking today, I went back shopping with everyone to be social but also to get some things that I forgot, like tape, and to find a better change purse. The little zipper thing I had isn't good for finding change so I found one that works like a little box and you can see all your change a lot easier. For starter today I woke up at 9am so it wasn't the 7am like yesterday and I went and hung out with people near the kitchen and grabbed an apple an...

Well it's been a full 12 hours (roughly) since I last updated. I had a whirl wind of a day, after I finished posting the last update I went back down stairs and I hung out with everyone until I think about 10:30ish?

I had mine with 'seafood' which had shrimp and I THINK scallops? But I've never had scallops before so I'm just g...

I'm here. I'm in Japan and I have to say I'm stoked! My room is actually really nice and it's not that small really. Once I get some more color in here it will be like home. And I'm sure with mom wanting to send me pictures it'll be great. The longest flight was 13 hours, I took Dramamine before boarding so my stomach didn't hate me and I actually slept through most of the first 6 hours of the flight. But the last 7 were BOREING and I'm sorry but when JAL desi...

Sitting in O'Hare International Airport! I'm still a little take aback by the fact that I will be in Japan in less than 24 hours, it's amazing. Weather here in Chicago is beautiful, a few clouds and NO RAIN! It started to rain in Atlanta when we were taking off but we left before it could stop us! So happy! My stomach didn't appreciate the one hour flight out of Atlanta; I felt nauseas most of the flight but I didn't have any accidents or scare the airport staf...
