Japan.

After being away from home for almost a week (a week tmw) I've found out a lot about myself and Japan.

About me:

  • When I get stressed out I barf...a lot...
  • Coke and saltines remind me of home and make me feel better
  • I suck at speaking Japanese
  • Typhoons scare me
Japan:
  • RAIN
  • HOT
  • COLD
  • AGGGHHHH!!!
  • RICE EVERY MEAL
  • EAT ALL THE FOOD GIVEN TO YOU!!!
So yeah...that kind of sums up my trip so far...honestly I'm kinda not liking it here, I mean the people are really nice and the food is great...it's just...when I was here 4 years ago it seems like I experienced a lot more and got to do a lot more. I thought this time, since I was coming alone, that I would experience even more and get a better insight into Japan. I guess I'm a little homesick but, I think what I'm missing more is just being able to communicate easily and fluently with anyone and everyone. Being able to hang out with my friends and being around people I know. So you could call it "home sick" but, I think it's something different.

Oh yeah before I go...the reason I was so stressed out was because, I was pretty much thrown into a class with people that can't speak english and they speak japanese very fast and i was mobbed...so it was a very overwhelming first couple of days. But, it's not like I can participate in class...in Math they're doing Trig (and they're a grade behind me, so sophomores), in Biology I have no idea...and in every other class besides spanish and english grammer i'm screwed! Oh yeah...it is really weird in Spanish because I have 3 different languages going through my head at the same time trying to communicate to them...wow. That was crazy!

Well, I better go otherwise I'm gonna be sick...hahahahaha
