Positive thoughts! XD
Hello! I am feeling better now then I did last week. Classes are almost over and I have resigned myself to whatever grades I get. Now I am just looking forward to coming home and seeing you all. I am in Japanese class right now and just finished typing up a Japanese report and have some free left over time. ^_^ I am going to take this time to point out some positive things Japan has done for me...
-my usage and understanding of Kanji is 100% improved
-my Japanese reading is good enough now that I can read without a problem (slowly, but still...)
-Japanese over all is to the point where I can study on my own without help from a class
-directional sense is much better, I don`t get lost anymore! XDXD
-I have a lot more confidence in my people talking skills as a result of communicating for a year with non-english speakers (yes Liz, this means I can now order my own pizza)
-Patience and Understanding has improved from being forced to work with people very different from myself
-My world is now much more open due to meeting and making friends with many people from all over the world.
-I will have a better appreciation for friends and family when I get back
-Although I have not yet figured out what I want to do with my life, this experience has taught me a few things I now know I DON`T want to do
I need to use a positive outlook to get me through finals and the last week. There are many people and things I will miss about Japan, I need to try and enjoy them as much as I can before I go. Thank you everyone for all your encouragement!
