The Beginning of My Blog

So today i made my blog for my trip in Japan. Right now I am out of work and out of school relaxing and getting ready for my trip. I am praying for my trip and will spend many hours in the prayer room this month, depending on how much gas will cost. Financially i am pretty set. I received $6,500 in scholarships and have saved a good deal on my own. My wonderful parents are also supporting me too!

So, not to much going on right now. I leave September 7th for Tokyo! This blog will be more active when I am actually in Japan or 日本。 So till then さいおなら！

Today my friend Hannie and I went to the Asian market and got Pocky and other candy & cute Morning Glory objects. (and there were skinned rabbits in the freezer section.) It made me think of you. :]

Mat! I am so sad/sorry that I missed your call from the airport. I wanted to call you but I thought your flight was early in the morning then I was at church all day.

Tokyo Disney/fun weekends

So, sorry everyone that I have not updated in a while!!!!! Things have been pretty much the same for the past couple of weeks. I go to school, then study, then go hang with my friends. Thankfully my friends are in the same apartments building so I don't have to go far or my friends come to my apartment building because it is just so popular. =) I went to TOKYO DISNEY!!! Which was a ton of fun and was even better because we went on Halloween day. It is pretty much exactly like the one in California. It was still very Japanese though, women dressed in disney princess dresses every where! I went some great friends too. The pictures below has some of my friends Jacob, Dajung, Haruka, and Eri. All are great and really cool to chill with (I wanted to add some slang). One of my favorite places to go is Yokohama!!! It is so cool and it is also where I have been going to church. The church has been really fun and really good. They are a great group of people who lov...

私の一ばん週　My First Week

The first week here in Japan has been amazing. I love my apartment and I love my school. I am pretty sad that I can only stay here for one semester. Pretty much everyone else is here for the year. CIS or Center for International Studies is the schools exchange program. They gave us all Japanese Buddies and help us get settled. The school is big and has lots of stuff to do. I can't wait for school and my classes. I am sure some of them might be hard but it will fun studying with people who all like the same subject and have traveled from all over the world for it. I'll post some pictures of my apartment and friends in our international club soon...
