T-minus Eight Days

Well, here we are again. As my cousin is merely hours away from leaving for college, I realize how real my experience to come truly is. Many tears ensue, but I know I will enjoy every second in Japan. Did you notice something different? Ah, the title of the blog is a bit different. Actually, completely different. I learned recently that my address changed, heh heh. So that's interesting. It's not far from my original destination though, same host family.

(By the way this font is Helvetica.) xD

If you'd like to see a girl's video from her experience abroad through the same program:

There you go. Very well done. 

I have absolutely no schedule as to when I will be doing this while I study abroad. 

Questions, Comments, Concerns? DONATIONS? XDXD




Hmmmmm..... here's some "Q's" that I get a bit:

What made you want to go?
If you don't know me very well you may not know that I have been out of the country quite a bit. All of my previous trips have been for two weeks or less. (If you're having trouble doing the math 6 months is a bit longer.) I love traveling (I hate when people say that). But nonetheless, I've been to Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Dominican Republic, and Ecuador..... so yeah. I also enjoy school. Yes, I realize I'm a loser. Talk nerdy to me. When I thought about doing them together.... Well I wigged out to put it simply.
And why wouldn't I want to go to Japan?

How did you get involved in your program?
My friend Mary Catherine was going to go to Italy, and was talking with this group- AFS-USA. I jokingly asked to join her. And 10 months later I'm packing my bags. You should look into AFS. DO IT. >.<

How long will you be there?
A little less than 6 months.

What will life be like?
I really don't know. I know I am staying with one Ryoko (my mom) and Sae (my sister). I'll be attending an all girl's Christian school. Yikes. The climate is kinda cool.... other wise no idea. Excitingly terrifying right?

Do you know any Japanese?
Barely.

AH! P.S. SUPER HUGE SHOUT OUT TO JON SPRAGUE!!!! I LOVE MY CAMERA! DOMO ARIGATO!
