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

WASSUP!?

So a lot of exciting events have been taking place lately! First off, the series I've been working on for awhile now just got finished and I'm working on a trailer now (should be coming out soon!). Secondly, I got my tix to japan!!! I'm soo excited to go there again! Lastly, I've been working on forming a band and I think I might've found one to join! So yeah that's my life right now, it feels pretty awesome to be me right now..but I know when I go to school on tuesday I'm gonna think "Wow, how did i think my life was so great?" Because honestly high school sucks. Not the part of doing homework and learning...the part where everything you do, you get judged by others. And everything is taken the wrong way, like you could say "get it in the hole" and you're talking about golf and someone will make a joke about it. it's really annoying. anyways talk to ya guys later!
