そろそろ
すぐアメリカ二帰る。時間が少なくなちゃったね。アメリカにいる友達や家族なんか会いたいだけど、ちょっと寂しい。
So I am going back to America in less than two weeks now. My how the time has flown. I haven't updated this thing in over a month and my mom was commenting on it so I thought that I would update really quick.
I am excited to be going home, but I had a really good time here and I know that I will miss a lot of the people that I have met. I will miss not being able to hang out with them every day and mix in Japanese words in my English sentences, and have everyone understand what I am saying. But I am happy to be going back to my house and reestablishing myself there and seeing how I fit differently into that life.
Also--the Japanese approach to doctors and illness is so annoying. If they have a tiny sniffle they skip work or school and go straight to the doctor. It's so unnecessary!!! I caught a cold at the retreat this past weekend (from partying and yelling and not-sleeping) and my host mom is saying how I should go to the doctor at Waseda and get medicine for my sniffles. It's a cold! I don't need to go to a doctor! Isn't this country constantly telling people to suck it up and deal with it? To がまん? Geez. Oh well, I have an exam in an hour and half and I need to go study since I didn't at all last night. Well, I did a little but felt so awful that I went to bed really early (which was a very good decision on my part). 頑張ります。
