My overall state this past week has gone from bad to worst. Which kind of sucks. I spent three straight days on the brink of tears/crying randomly. Super special awesome....not. One of the solutions I thought of while sitting alone and bawling (I, for the record, hate crying, which is probably why it was so hard/annoying) I thought that perhaps I ( Read more... )

So I've begun my preliminary packing. I filled up my large suitcase with clothes and added a few souvenirs to the smaller suitcase. Sky said that I could have her bigger suitcase so that I could take two, but since I have a 50 pound weight limit (or 22 Kilograms) for each flight, I need to be super careful about what I bring. It's kind of nerve- ( Read more... )

So last night I got another e-mail from Narumi. It started out talking about the different dorms that I could stay and so part of me was just like, "D:" but then the middle she said, "Of course you can stay with us....! It might be a little hard, but here's two ways to get to the school from our house....we'd give you your room that you stayed in ( Read more... )

I got sent home 5 hours early because I hit forty hours and they didn't want me there for longer. So despite the fact that I worked until midnight, got home at 1am and then woke up at 7am and went to work, when I got out at 11ish, I was still kind of energetic ( Read more... )

So, because Narumi had asked me about where I was staying and when I was arriving and such, I had e-mailed Oga-sensei to ask about that myself. It was then that I got a kind of crippling response.

You will hear from our administrative officer about this sometime soon, but I regret to inform you that you will be assigned to "DK House", rather than ( Read more... )

I e-mailed Narumi, who was my 'host mother' (I use that phrase broadly as she didn't want to be called 'mother', but really just wanted to called Narumi) to tell her about how I'm going to be in Sapporo and all that jazz. The first e-mail I sent got kicked back to me because her e-mail was too full, and I thought perhaps that it wouldn't work. (I ( Read more... )

Today was all icky and snowy. Holly was nice enough to brush off my car this morning, but I ended up having to brush it off another two times today. Despite the crappy roads, I got to work almost on time, at 8:01am. Just one minute late! I was really proud of myself.....although Jake the manager was twenty five minutes late, so it didn't really ( Read more... )

I bought my ticket for Japan today. It's a one-way as I don't know when I'll be coming back. I have a two month long vacation from the middle of August to the beginning of October, but I have no idea when I would/could come home then ( Read more... )

I spent the day actually being productive! It's rather exciting, actually. I spent the night at Sky's house and Cora (her kitten) alternated between sleeping on my shoulder, sleeping on my right hip....and purring loudly in my face/tickling my face with her whiskers. She also tried to sleep on my head. When I woke up with a cat on my forehead, I ( Read more... )
