OK firstly i wuld like to say i have migrated to blogspot because bugbitten sent me an email saying it would have to start paying soon.....here i was thinking it was free.
so now all my blogs will be here, and its a better layout as well so i like it...but its my first one on blogspot so my profile is a bit empty at the moment..
Anyway..
Ive been quite busy actually the last couple weeks. Like literally im doing homework as im typing this. All for a good cause though!
Every day finishes early at school until spring break so im definately enjoying that. but i get home and all i do is work on my japanese stuff.....it is SOOO much fun...
I dont know what it is but Japanese school life is so exhausting for us students i get home and just collapse on my bed/ground. But its alright i manage.
Last weekend i just did study on Saturday, but went to a livehouse with the Canadaian exchange student - it was actually really good! it cost 15 dollars to get in and there were several different bands playing. the 3rd band to play were actually really interesting! im talking like, they could become famous one day! so after they finished me and Rachael (Candian girl) went out the back to meet them. We could do so because were foreign, foreigners can do anything here, i love it! and so yeah we spoke to them and bought their CD and got photos with them. the lead singer wanted a photo of us on his phone so we felt special. Then we got a free badge from them with their band design on it and it made our night!!
Sunday i went to my friends house, her name is Minami and in english it means 'South' haha dont know if ive told you that yet or not. she also went on exchange in Australia a couple years ago so her english is pretty much perfect! BuT anyway all the exchange students went there because she is leaving soon to go to the south (hahaha south) for university. She a really good friend of ours so we are going to miss her heaps! We made a funny video of song parodys and also went to karaoke so had a great day Sunday. People are ALWAYS going to karaoke and ive learned to expect it if im invited to hang out somewhere.
This week i had a exhaustion-related breakdown from Japanese. I didnt know it was such a difficult language because it order to get fluent, it really is difficult!! ive asked a few of my friends (who are japanese, including minami) and they say even for them as japanese people its difficult!!!! but i got over it and now i just remind myself that i will eventually get there. Its still tough but it will be worth it in the end. But i am making good progress as i got 97.5% on my japanese test which included things like grammar, sentence patterns, kanji and an essay. i pretty much would have gotten 100% but i made a couple silly errors with my kanji because i wasnt thinking properly, but oh well.
This weekend i am going to Niseko (Japans most famous ski place) saturday/sunday and staying there overnight. Its a rotary trip so ill be enjoying the hills with the other exchange students im SOO looking forward to it! Ill be practicing my snowboarding so that i can compete with kali when i get home...(IF i go home)
Also, ive been told im moving host families on the 3rd of August. This is earlier than usual but i dont mind. The next family has 2 dogs so i cant wait!! considering i miss my dog back in australia!! I met the mum at school on Monday and she seems nice...EXCEPT she said she always uses the computer for work and i wont have much of a chance to use it so i will see what happens, i dont know if i can make blogs on my iPhone but i will check it out.
May i add, that blogspot doesnt have a spot for uploading heaps of photos SO to see my photos i will make a thing on a site called photo bucket (you may or may not have heard of it) and there you will be able to see all my photos. basically the bugbitten site wont be in use ever again.
I will make another blog after this weekend and let you know how the trip went, take care!!!!
じゃね～
