Well, first sit back, take a deep break, and maybe get something to drink. Because this is going to be long.
This trip to Japan has had its ups and downs. It at times has been a huge struggle, then others it was a breeze! But this last month has been nothing but a struggle and Im totally ready to leave. I'll start off talking about my wonderful weekend! So Friday Jessica, Laila and I went to funky party. It was at this church in Osaka, and it was very nice. I am very glad that i went because i heard something that I really needed to hear. That day Laila told me the same thing that i heard in church. That was basically to trust in God, thats something that i hadn't been doing lately. I was way to stressed and even think about trusting in God. Which is terrible caused thats when i should trust in him the most! The food at the place was awesome! I had a great time, and got to talk to really great people! Everything about that night was just wonderful! Well except the walk from seminar house to makino station! That kinda sucked!
Well lets see Saturday I went to my roomie's friend's house! I had such a great time! We ordered pizza, told jokes, laughed, and just had a great time! At first i wasnt going to go cause of money, but my roomie totally helped me out. Im so very grateful to her for that! Sunday after church My roomie, Jessica, Jeff and I went to this Indian restaurant across the street from the church. IT was so good, I have become a huge fan of indian food! Jeff the only working person decided to pay for us all, which was super nice. So in church i learned something that i didnt even know! The church was very different then what im used to but it was really good as well! So later that night, everyone in my apt decided to go out and sing karaoke, and go bowling. It was so much fun watching them cause they truly sucked! It was so terrible, but fun at the same time. So after bowling, we took print club. Basically they are really small pics that you can stick on just about anything. That was so much fun! After Print club we sang karaoke. We were terrible but it was so much fun! I had just a great weekend! I wish that i didnt have to end! But eventually all good things must end i guess.
So monday rolled around and I was supposed to go to Nagoya. Well that didnt turn out the way i wanted to but i got there. It was so difficult to get there, but Im so happy that i went. I met her older sister, she was so nice! She gave me a small omiyage, Im not really sure what it was but it was really nice~! So afterwards we went to meet Rikas family! Dinner was so good! Her mom is such a great cook! So Tuesday, we went to the aichi expo~! It was awesome, Truly Awesome! The expo was just too big to see in one day. But i really did enjoy what i saw in that one day! We went to the Hitachi, Toyota, if the moon didnt exist, and wonder circus pavilions. My fav pavilion by far was the Hitachi pavilion. The animals were very interactive. They really personalized all of the interactions, they took your picture at the beginning and i was wondering why. Well at the end they showed my pic and said that i could help protect the environment.
The Toyota pavilion had musical robots. Most of them played brass instruments, but it was really cool! If you can go to japan before the expo is over you should. It was such a rich experience for me! I wish that i could go back, but i doubt if that will happen! (ToT)
I never really thought about what earth would be like without a moon. Well I learned that if we didnt have a moon humans might not have been able to survive. The earth would also be a very dry, and windy place...The days would also be very short, 6 hours long. Very interesting!
Well I dont feel like talking about the whole expo...But thats what i enjoyed the most!
Ok so Yesterday we went to a hot spring. It was ummm very nice..I hated the fact that you had to be naked. The water was so relaxing! But I hated being naked in front of all those people. But oh well it was really nice after 20 mins!
Ok so today, I knew that words have so much power. But I didnt realize how something a person says can cut you so deep. This one guy said something and had not intentions of being mean. But that was like a slap in the face, or being stabbed. It totally hurt, because to me the situation is already very delicate. And to have him say what he did, didnt make anything any better. In fact it made the rest of my afternoon worst, cause it just made me think of the big idiot that i am. I already feel bad about the situation..But this...just...made me totally feel like crap. Like i had not dignity or self respect! He tried to reverse the effects of what he said, but it was too late! It had already hit me like a ton of bricks. The past is the past yes, but to me its like it was yesterday. To go from having a great weekend to lowest of low...its just really bad! I was totally looking forward to coming home...But now...I have the whole 12 hour plane ride to think about everything. Things that i want to put in the back of my mind, and never remember! But I can't, its totally impossible! I just want to scream or cry or do anything that would make me feel better at this moment. But I highly doubt if thats possible!Drowning myself in tears wouldnt help, cause then it wouldnt go away. Plus only babies cry...so thats outta the question. I guess getting things off ur chest helps, but (ToT) what a terrible feelin!
