Google Earth is insane! I found my house! Also, here's the school where I'll be studying the next school year: Konan University. I'm trying to figure out where I'll be living, but so far I only have a general area on the map (Japanese addresses confuse me and they don't seem to work on the Google Earth thing). It's in Ashiyashi, which is outside of Kobe, I guess.
I'm going to be staying with the Shimizu family, which includes Yukihiro (50), Satomi (43) and their 18-year-old son, Yuma. They also have two dogs who are very cute. I really don't know anything else about them except a couple of interests and the fact that the parents both smoke. I'm going to e-mail them soon, I think. I'm still really nervous about the homestay thing in general, but I guess I just need to get over it.
Despite my nervous feelings, however, I'm dying for this summer to be over. It's going to be so nice not working for a whole school year (or, if I do work some, like tutoring or something, it's not going to be the majority of my non-class time).
Anyway, I really ought to be studying.
