Japanese Lessons

Today was my first Japanese Lesson. Unfortunately it was raining so we had to drive, and we ran into traffic. We were running late so okaasan starts taking all the side roads. I was hoping I could try and remember where to go, but the zigzagging made that impossible. I was only a couple minutes late, so it was okay.

I got into the class and sat down, and someone calls my name. It was the other girl from AFS who lives in Kanazawa. I’m glad she’s taking the class with me. Ureshii (happy)! There’s about 10 people in the class, and everyone else is either in university or working in Kanazawa. It made me feel young XD. The teacher is really nice, and she makes sure to get everyone involved. She would ask questions using the verb form we were learning, and then we had to respond. Things like our hobbies and what we were going to do after class. I kept answering anime/manga or something to do with food XD I couldn’t think of anything else >.<. There is a lot to learn, so we’re going to go pretty fast. I think I’m gonna enjoy this class :D!

I start school tomorrow! I’m so excited, but nervous about my speech and being able to communicate with everyone. I have my speech pretty much memorized, so hopefully I don’t blank. I have to introduce myself in front of the teachers and then the entire school at the assembly! Still, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow! (not biking for 30 mins to school in a skirt part tho)


My host sis came back from Yokohama today. She got me an omiyage (souvenir). A cell phone strap with my name and Hello Kitty! Kawaii! I should be getting a phone in the next week or 2… hopefully ^^

Gotta get up early tomorrow for school. I have to be there at 8am instead of 8:30 like everyone else, because I have to introduce myself to the teachers. Wish me luck!

Oyasumi! ^^ (good night)
