kichiru9/1 -- Sunny(82 High)
So we get on the plane and take off for the land of the rising sun yesterday and man, what a long trip! We did, however, get lucky on the plane and end up with 2 open seats which gave Lauren and I a grand total of 4 seats to use on the ride.
We watched Monsters and Aliens, which was pretty good and was pretty funny in Japanese what with all the "oresama"s and such. I was worried, though, because most of the kids know each other already because they go to the same college.
I will work to put my name out there I suppose.
We arrived at JCMU after a rather heated UNO game on the bus over (Asian rules or American rules, who will win?) but I started to feel a bit sick. We were offered cup noodles and A doughnut for breakfast tomorrow (jokingly split between 50 of us). After we got upstairs into our room we made the food and it actually wasn't half bad-- I mean, it's ramen, but usually I am not a fan of Japanese style. Also, during this eating event, Amber, a girl from Grand valley, ended up being dropped off and locked out of JCMU. None of the toher JCMU kids helped her, they just walked by so Lauren and I rushed down there to help her in. She was frazzled but seemed fine.
Also took the coldest shower in my life as our water heater is unfortunately broken. At least I cooled down? It was pretty bad XD
Went to bed and slept restlessly.
9/2 -- Sunny(83 high)
So this is the view out my window at 5:30am-- the sun has been up
since 4 something.
Ended up meeting Sarah by accident today. Lauren and I had been talking about how the internet in japan is slow and I mentioned that it took 3 times longer to download the new episode of Hetalia. Sarah perks up suddenly and is like "Woah, what did you just say?" and so I said "Hetalia, it's this show where--" "Oh my, we are going to get along. So who is your favorite character?" "That's difficult because there are so many, however, pairings are much easier." "...OMG, we are REALLY going to get along!"
She even knew who our hot Prussia, Austria, and Switzzy were in pictures ;u; this should turn out to be a beautiful friendship.
We got our bikes today too! Mine is pink and easy to identify ;u;~
We got a bike tour around the city today and it seems like it's pretty easy to get everywhere~
9/3 -- Cloudy
We had the placement test today and while it didn't seem too hard, I am sure the past 4 months of not studying has caused me problems...
Didn't do well and had to kiss ass to get what I want... ;A; *sigh*
I am panicking now because I feel like I maybe just can't do it...
