In other great news!! I'm done with my hellish school!! I'm so happy!! OMG!! HAHAHA!!! I will miss the students they were so friendly...but the teachers...omg.. HELL!! Not to mention my 1hour 30min communte to thate hellmouth..YESS IM DONE!! ..it dosnt even do the pain I went through justice! Strange thing is at the going away party all is cool, we drink and everyone talks and is so nice Ahh..gotta take the good with the bad if you wanna enjoy life right?!
Anyway wow I'm so happy!! I can finally feel joy again after feeling so horrible...recently... So what have I been up to these past few weeks?? Well.. I posted one day before the earthquake that has sent this great nation into a many troubles...but they are at great speeds fixing everything so quickly. First of all when it happend, the earthquake, I was at school and we were practicing for a graduation ceremony. I was really scared, becausee yes even though I live in Sappro We only felt the earthquake at half its center magnitude. We only felt a 15 - 30 min 3.0. But I knew that the center must have been hit hard and I was soo worried about everyone it would effect. If I had known it would cause tsunamis as well I would have been even more horrified. Just imagine all those other children who were preparing for their graduation ceremonies..but...now...who knows maybe thier parents are gone..or maybe they themselves are gone...
But I found out about tsunami the next day or so... I was soo depressed when I found out about all the thousands of people dead and missing. I couldnt think I couldnt have fun. I was so scared and worried. Japan is soo small and many people even at my school have grandparents or relatives in Sendai and Tohoku. I even had a friend that lived in Sendai...he is ok but I was soo worried when I couldnt contact him for a week.
It was terrifying I was on my phone with my friend in Hakodate and we were trying to plan a way for her to climb on her roof incase there as a tusnami in here area becasue it was on the high warning and a coastal city...its crazy. Only a few days later everything was back to normal in Sapporo and Hokkaido. But things in Tohoku were even crazier with radiation spreading and no electrcity. Not to mention I was in the middle of planning for my move to Tokyo... I almost went crazy with worry and trying to fly out with the rest of the foregin crowd.
I'm happy I researched and belived and waited. I'm still moving to Tokyo and I'm still keeping an eye on radiation levels and ways to help the homeless and parentless in Tohoku. I'm going to do my best. So thats what I have been up to. My only ways of escape through the hardest times at the begining was to talk to my friends and family and some fo them know alot about radiation and government facts.. so talking and getting real facts has helped me keep a level head.
I've been having many going away parties, despite my low spirits..I tried my best to enjoy my last outings with my Sapporo friends. I couldnt do my hair or makeup as well as usual with such low spirits but I did what I could. We have to enjoy everyday and drink up like its the last time..for those who can't anymore.
