Hi, Its been a while since I last posted and for that Im sorry and yes
you are probably seeing a trend. Im currently typing this up on a school
computer that doesnt support my blogging website so im sending it in an
email to myself. Again this also means this post will be lacking proper
punctuation.
This past month has been crazy! Drama at school, drama back home,
useless and nonsensical tiffs. However, it has all been worth it because
it made an incredible vacation even more amazing.

So, This weekend has been incredibly eventful for better or for worse. Friday was a normal night out with my friends and Saturday was a not so normal night at a professor's house for a party. Yes, we all went to our professor's house for an awfully American party complete with beer pong, beer boxing, and a dance floor. I do mean awfully for better and for worse too. It started at 6:30 with about an hour long bus ride to the teacher's house through a windy, if-the-breaks-go-we're-all-going-to-p... Continue reading ...

 Hi everyone, I know its been ages but please excuse my absense and typos as I am using a computer at the school which has a Japanese keyboard so I may not catch all the mistakes. Japan is incredible, Nagasaki is incredible, I absolutely love being here. Before I came I was warned about many stereotypes. A few being that all Japanese hate foreigners. ちがう！(wrong!) All the JASIN students are loved! All the students here find my piercings and tattoos fascinating. Some adults are sk... Continue reading ...

Hi there, Sorry for my absence I have nothing else to say on that regard haha.. This post will be a bit personal so I apologize beforehand and feel free to skip this one. So I am in Japan with nothing to do today. It is actually refreshing. I haven't been sleeping well lately because my dreams have seem so vivid and realistic I think it is interrupting my sleep pattern. I usually have 1 or 2 dreams a night that I remember but lately its been 4 or 5. I'm not sure if it is possible for dreams to i... Continue reading ...

Helloooooo! Not too much to report for today. Mio is off to see her boyfriend and her mom is at the doctor's so I'm just hanging out. It is kind of nice after days and days of constant walking and sight seeing. Yes you can call me lazy but my thighs are killing me! Yesterday Mio and I met one of my friend's from Marist in Osaka. He is here visiting his girlfriend which he met during his study abroad time at Kansai Gaidai. While in Osaka we went shopping in America Town and another shopping dist... Continue reading ...

Hiiii, Yes I know I slacked and took the day off yesterday. GOMEN NASAI. Mio and I got home from Tokyo around 10:30 and I then needed to shower and go to sleep. Any how, yesterday Mio and I met her boyfriend, Ryo, and his friend, Takumi, in Kyoto. We went bowling, ate, shopped, played pool, shopped some more, ate, and went home. It was a lot of fun! I had donburi for lunch which I love. Donburi is a bowl of rice with toppings on top. I had beef, Mio had beef and cooked egg. I say cooked egg be... Continue reading ...

Hello! Today I spent 3 long, arduous hours looking for a phone that did not have a 2 year plan. Long story short I finally got one, it is really intricate. You can text, or what they call e-mail, in hiragana, katakana, kanji, and english. It is difficult to navigate but features cute pictures and stamps for your e-mails and text messages! It is totally worth it haha. I have a few pictures from Tokyo but not many since I forgot my camera usb cord.  the next is my favorite because it says we are t... Continue reading ...

Ok I'm back! Mio's mom and I dropped Mio off at work and went to look around the stores a little bit. Normally I love to go shopping for clothes but I haven't really needed any. There are tons of cute things here that I would love to own but they are expensive and I realized that I need to travel with all of them to Nagasaki and/or ship some back home and that gets even more expensive. I did however splurge on a brand new neon green Swatch! Every time I visited Switzerland I bought a new Swat... Continue reading ...

Hello Everyone! So I made it here safe and sound however the morning after I arrived we went straight to Tokyo so I was not able to post anything, sorry! I just finished breakfast which (while at home) consists of a thick slice of bread and a drink. There are a few different toppings you can put on the bread. There is of course jelly and butter but the Tsunomura's also have a delicious caramel topping! It is not as sticky as the caramel you put on ice cream and spreads easily. Its an awesome w...
