日本に電話した！
Just as things can get so incredibly bad - they can get so much better.
Things got so tense, and I was so stressed out and frustrated - I just ended up coming home (even though I'm coming home on Tuesday anyway...) My parents were happy to see me as I rarely come home aside from breaks, I hung out with my sister, Me and Jon goofed off the whole way home, and I am back in my own bedroom if only for 2 nights. I also spoke with the friend and things seem pretty resolved... But I'm still glad I'm away from school...
But the best thing... Is I called my dorm mother (寮母さん) in Japan. I miss her so much being here - she became one of my best friends in Japan and I never get to talk to her because the phone bills are so expensive. But I miss her every day, and with all the stress I just HAD to talk to my "second mom" or my "日本のお母さん" as she always calls herself... Just hearing her voice made me feel so much better. She sounded healthy and she is in Sendai now back at her home for a break. It is funny - when we talk suddenly I don't care and I just let the language flow. It is times like that were I actually feel like I connect. But she definitely has become my second mom, and Japan is definitely my home away from home. I'm so happy to know all is well... I love her so much and I will never forget everything she has done for me. I told her I would call next week on my Thanksgiving break!! She said just to hear my voice wanted to make her cry because she missed me so much and she laughed when I said I forgot how to speak Japanese XD She was like "EHHH?! I can understand you PERFECTLY! You are a pro!" (I wish!) I talked to my dorm father as well - he told me I had to get to bed (haha!) and he asked all about my sister... I miss him a lot too :( I can't wait for the next opportunity I get to return to Japan - The FIRST thing I do will be to go back to Fuchu and visit them.
