Missing Tokyo
I've been home for a little less than a week now, and its been going okay. Andrew's in Buffalo and will be leaving for Chicago on Sunday, so I don't know what I'm going to do without him around. I posted my resume on craigslist and it looks like I might have three different interviews in Manhattan on Monday, so here's hoping I'm not late for any of them because of the others. I've been checking my e-mail like crazy for job offers- craigslist is the ultimate way to look for a job, I swear. I've gotten 2 graphic designer offers, one freelance web design offer, one job to show Japanese people apartments in the city (lol), and a random one for a French children's clothing designer, so I'm still waiting to hear back on why exactly she was interested in hiring me for anything.
A little while ago I got an e-mail from my host mom, asking if I knew a girl named Sunny from school in Tokyo last year. I remembered meeting her at orientation and we were both in the same level of Japanese at ICU but in different classes. In any case, Sunny is headed back to ICU this year and my host family will be hosting her for the summer. I've really missed my host family since I left, and I think that I feel worse now because I actually know the person that they'll be hosting instead of me. They were really, really wonderful to me and I miss them a lot. From what I know of Sunny she's a really nice girl and I think my host family and her will get along great, but I'm jealous that Sunny is going back to ICU this summer. I didn't particularly like ICU, but I loved the Sawais. So now I'm really bummed that I'm not going to Japan this summer, because it was the best experience of my life. And Sunny gets to go twice AND stay with my host family :(
