Today was very touching and amazing and unbelieveable. spelling?
I was thinking "Damn, I have to go to work. Here I am at work" this morning at about 9:45. But when I come in my cousin was already there and had checked the mail from the day earlier and said "I have something that will make you happy" and she handed me this envelope and it was from my friend in Japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She sent me a letter. Here I thought again that she had forgotten about me or decided that I really was a crazy American girl but she sent me a friggin Christmas card and it was no ordinary card. It was the most amazing pop-up 3 Dimensional card ever. Too cute. It was a Japanese scenery, temple, mountain in the back, bridge and lake and little santas everywhere with asian style umbrellas.
And that isn't even the best part..... She sent me a picture of her family and wrote a note
on the back of that too! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Actually, for the past few days I've been trying to rewrite a letter I was going to send to her and figure out how to write her address correctly but I thought, "what if she thinks I am obsessed for sending a letter or something. Even though it is major to send a New Years card in Japan. And it has to arrive on Jan 1. No earlier or later. And you are in trouble if someone sent you a card and you didnt not send them one as well.
But anyways, I am American. So I won't worry about no dates or such. But now I am definetly going to get on top to sending a letter. I don't have a single "family" picture though. :(
I'll figure something out but man, you guys might think I am insane but you have to understand... Everyone at school was telling me "Rosie, there's this Japanese exchange student and she is so strange but cool, you should meet her" but I never did until 2nd semester. I didn't want 2nd lunch but I found out I would meet her and when I showed her my class ring with my Japan flag she said I was crazy!!
Ha. I was crushed, but later she said hi to me and knew my name!!!! Then she let me borrow
her own Kimono and shoes and I didn't even ask! And she gave me a picture of herself and showed me pictures of her family and we wrote notes on japanese paper to each other and and and
on the last day at school, she gave me a whole bag of stuff. Just me! And and anddddddd...then she emailed me first, wrote me first. wahhhh. And on her going away party, I felt much sadness.
So in all, today was amazing. It really topped the cake.
