So... Since I FINALLY have Internet I can recap the last 2 weeks for you. Right now it is 5:50pm Friday night May 21st. But let me take you all the way back to the beginning so my stories will make sense. We will start on Tuesday the 11th of May, this is the day I got to Sapporo after a full day of flying (it was EXHAUSTING). Im glad that I had a flying partner, it made airports and what not easier. We met Nadine and Professor Ratcliff at the airport and took Bre to the DK house. Interesting fact #1, The sun rises in Japan at like 4:30 in the Morning!!! therefore the first day or so, I too was up at 4:30 in the morning. Im taking 2 classes at Sapporo Daigaku, a 3 hour Long Japanese class (for zero credit) and a one hour long culture class that is one day a week (for 3 credits). The good thing is that we have tuesdays free. I learned that my hopes of taking Kendo classes or joining the kendo team are unlikely because it costs a lot and I would have absolutely NO free time. Our landlord speaks NO english which is interesting, Im really glad that I have Nadine here with me. The first week went by REALLY fast. My first weekend we went on a tour of Sapporo which was fun, I met some new friends (Laura and Talon are from Nebraska, Jin-Jin and Cho-chin are from China, I cant remember which state Marki is from but she is pretty cool, Akito, Jin-Jin's boyfriend (who's name I forget at the moment), are studying at BSU this fall, and Nobu goes to church with us.) OH Nadine and I found a church. Its really cool, I think its evangelical (?) but I could be wrong. We (Nadine and I) are going shopping with Laura tomorrow and to the Zoo with Laura and Marki on Sunday. We found a curry shop that we like to go to, its right outside the entrance to school and not only is the food good, we can actually read the menu. So... That Recaps the last two weeks (kinda)
Right now it is 6:08pm and I am getting ready for dinner. Usually Nadine and I eat together, but tonight she is eating with Cho-Chin tonight (Cho-chin has never had french toast so Nadine is going to make it for her).
Today was AMAZING!!! This morning I woke up, and took a shower like I usually do, but this morning was different. See instead of just getting ready for school and what not, The people from JCom came to my apartment and gave me a present. It was called the INTERNET!!! I was SO excited, it basically made my day :-D I got to talk to my family for the first time in 2 weeks (thats not entirely true, but thats what I feels like). Class was LONG today, it felt longer than usual. Hmm I dont know if there is anything else to say.
Talk to you soon (I can say that now because I can actually update more often)
