(no subject)
Just said bye to my Mom a couple hours ago. For the most part it's liberating, but it makes me sad knowing that she's sad that I won't see her for a good four months. I feel like it's a really big change that I should be excited about experiencing more than anything though.
Culture shock is starting to get to me. I know there are tons of international students here that are in the same situation as I am, but still. I feel... strange. I feel like I fit in more when I was in Japan, despite not speaking the language and physically looking different. I felt so much more at home. I wonder how long it'll take me to get used to things here. I have a feeling if I was in the states it'd be ten times as hard. Canada seems really open minded and relaxed, but still. I feel like a foreigner here, but then it's also strange telling people that I'm from Japan because I don't quite feel Japanese either. Eh.
So turns out I met that guy Quentin last night(the one I happened to see downtown a few days ago). We got along quite well if I do say so myself. I haven't been thinking about it much, aside from the fact that he's fun and quite cute. I'm meeting him tomorrow night too. My brother thinks that's a bad idea 'cause that's what 'serious couples' do, haha. I don't really know what he's thinking, but I've been so over my head with things here that I'm not really analyzing whatever's happening with this guy right now. I just want to wait and see how things go.
BED TIME FOR TRISH.
