Gotten really busy lately so this is my first post in awhile. School's picked up a bit and the time is flying. I'm already halfway done; three month in, three to go. But a lot has happened in the last two weeks so I'll try to catch you all up.
Last weekend I went on a trip to Saitama and made soba (which is like a thin wheat noodle) with a group of people from the international center at my university. I was the only American on the trip which was kind of cool and we did a lot of great things. The weather was fantastic and we got to travel to the top of a mountain and did a boat ride. It was really gorgeous and I think I'm going back to that same area with my host family in two weeks.
This week I didn't get too much sleep, had a big presentation for a class and some quizzes. And I also got to go to TOKYO DISNEYLAND and see MGMT in Shibuya! It was probably the best day I've had here in Japan. The weather was so warm for December (I'm really appreciating the difference between here and Chicago) and it was nice to think back to when I went to Disney World when I was 8. My friends and I rode all the major rides and laughed at how funny everything was, a wonderful mix of America and Japan. And then we went to the concert, which was great except it ended way early, but everything in Japan does so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I've got two weeks of school left before winter break. I'm hoping to go to Kyoto for a bit and just enjoy some time off.
