1 Month

1 month left!!

I can’t believe it! It seems like only yesterday that I was starting my application for my exchange to Japan with AFS, even though it’s been a year… XD

So since I wasn’t able to find a job, I’ve been working with my mom. It’s great being able to spend time with her, and whatever I earn goes towards Japan ☺. I really appreciate the support (financial and otherwise) I have gotten from my parents, the rest of my family and my friends. I think I will have enough spending money for Japan, but will be broke coming home/for university…but it’s a year away so why worry… >.<

I’ve been emailing my host family, and have found out more about my school. I’m going to be in grade 11 (yay!) along with my host sister. We will be biking to school, which takes about 30 mins. It’s been forever since I rode a bike, so hopefully I don’t crash… On rainy days – about a third of the year (I love rain, so no probs ^^) – I will take the bus. I guess I will be buying my uniform there, which kinda sucks cause they are really expensive, but also kinda good cause then I may get to keep it…Although I have no idea when I would wear it again.

I host family seems really nice and I can't wait to meet them. I am also really excited for orientation (first 3 days I’m in Japan) because I will get to meet all the other awesome exchangers who I’ve met on the AFS Japan Facebook group. I still have quite a lot to do before then, including studying Japanese. I really want to improve, but it’s hard learning by yourself :S

Lately, I’ve become really obsessed with this one band, SuG. I love their music and their style – so colourful~♥. As you can probably tell from my blog, I love colour XD. My fave songs are in the music player in the left side bar <--.

Btw - I’m almost done the layout thing for this blog… just a little bit more tweaking and a header.
