Kosen Exchange (=

So on Wednesday, Japanese 3 & 4 had a study trip to Kosen (again). Haha! (: It was pretty funnn! =D I got paired up with a friend I met on Sports Day; her name's Miki! :D Goshh, I had to do a self-introduction in front of the whole class with my classmate Ian. LOL, I was so nervous & I felt so retarded. >_<" But I'm just happy I got through it ^-^" After that, I had to sit in math class with her-- which was totally boring... but we were making side-remarks with each other from time to time. Haha! xD

Then at lunch, everyone went to the cafeteria! :] I got to see my friends Jo & TK. It was pretty cool reuniting with them again at the school where we all met, haha! OH! And I got to give my cards/letters to TK, which was like a month belated! Hahaha, my bad-- I'm so forgetful. >_<" Anyway, after lunch... we got into groups of 6, and we all did some activity. =) My group listened to 2nd year students do presentations.. and we ended up getting split into another group but this time with Japanese students... hahaha. :D I met this girl named Shoko and traded e-mail address with her! ^-^" Then I also met these other guys in the group--- but they were pretty boring -__- so I didn't get their contact info. Haha. :P But yeah, afterwards... we had to help clean their school because it was a daily routine for them. :] It wasn't that bad though, haha. *;]

OU! After school hours, they threw us a party... with food & stuff. :D I also met this girl named Misaki; she hung out with Shoko that's why. Then, we even exchanged e-mail addresses too! Haha. I wanted to meet this other girl who always waved at me the entire day-- but I never got to officially meet her. >_<" Haha, oh well. Lol. x) OH! And then at the party, this one guy made a speech before we ate the food--- and I was like "Guddo Jobbu!" and he looked at me like I was retarded. Hahaha. Then a couple minutes later, I ended up talking to him and everything. He was reallyyy nice & I found out his name was Shoya. :) I thought he was some school leader because he made that speech and was super cool about everything. Lols. xD We talked for awhile too, but we could hardly understand each other! x] Then Jo appeared out of no where to perform his dance for us, so I stopped talking to Shoya. x_x"

Then TK was there too- talking with Tony.. and I didn't even realize he was there! xD Tony and I ended up meeting TK's Indonesian friend! He was sooo cool because he could speak really good English! xD And me and Tony acted such dorks asking him how he got to be an international student. x) Gahh... I had sooo much fun on the study trip because I met lots of new friends and practiced my Japanese! :D GOSH! LOL. =] I love Japan when it comes to learning about the culture and language and such... *;]

Now the only thing I'm looking forward to sometime soon is... WINTER BREAK! xD
:D Laters, dudes! =]

Adventure in Hachinohe! (^-^*)

AHHH! OMG! (: I had a blast yesterday! =D

So my mom let me hang out with my friends the entire day yesterday! =D I left my house at like 9am and met up with Tony at Misawa Town Hall. :] We ended up walking to the Misawa Train Station and got there at like 9:50am or something. LOL, it was hilarious! We almost got hit by a speeding truck, haha. & It started drizzling on the way there. Oh yeahh, and when we got there... we didn't know which ticket to buy to Hachinohe, so we ended up buying an Express ticket. Lol, goshhh. I was soo nervous to catch the train for the first time! x] Good experience, mann... good experience. *;]

Anyway, when we got to Hachinohe... I went to go fix my hair in the bathroom-- and I ended up bumping into our Japanese friends - Honami & Mami - that we were meeting up with! Hahaha! (: After that, it was all kinda rushed o_O* Me and Tony just followed them.. and we ended up riding a bus to Cino. ^-^* I called up TK and told him where we were going. :] So when we got to Cino, we ended up taking PIKURA! =D Then TK finally came, and we took another PIKURA... then tried winning prizes on those claw-machine thingies. Haha! (: TK won me a Pink Panther doll keychain thing, and Tony ended up winning 2 prizes for Honami & Mami! :) Suchhh nice boys =) Haha, and then Tony & TK raced each other on Mario Kart.. hahaha :D Tony ended up winning-- but it was a really good game! :D

After that, we all decided to go eat lunch. Tony was hungry for Japanese food... so we ate at this Udon shop.. haha :] I didn't really know what to get, so I just got the same thing as Honami & Mami... and Tony and TK got the same thing as each other--- what HOMOs! Hahaha just kidding :P Ou yeah, then THEY all decided to go to a karaoke bar... and I was like "No no that's okay! I'm shy!" BUT TONY really wanted to go, so I'm like *sigh* OKAY. Hahaha. LOL, funny thing was that I forgot my hat in the restaurant.. so I ended up going back to get it! x_x" What a looooser! Lol. OH! So when we were walking to the karaoke place, it started snowing! & I started flipping out! LMAO! Extra-extreme DORK material I tell you! >.<

Sooooo... we stayed at the karaoke bar for a couple of hours. :) Tony had a concert... hahahaha! It was fricken hilarious! XD Songs I'll Remember: "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" - "I Want It That Way" - "Barbie Girl" - "Bleed It Out".... LMAO. ~sigh~ (: Tony met up with his other two Shogyo friends... Kurika & Chika :D They joined us in the karaoke place! ^-^I'm glad I made new friends.. sorta! =] Hehe. But Tony had a curfew; he could only stay until 5pm. So we told our Japanese friends, and they seemed like they were in a rush! O_o* As soon as we left the karaoke place, Honami called a taxi! Me and Tony were like... "Huuuuuh?! We wanna hang out more!" Ohhh well.. >_<" Honami & TK ended up escourting us back to the train station. So we ended up going home pretty earlier than expected. =P

On the train ride back, we didn't take the express. Instead we almost got confused on which one was our train stop! Hahaha. Good thing, a nice woman helped us out ^-^" BUT OMG. I'm sooo stupid! I forgot to take the ticket from the train station in Hachinohe, so when we came back to Misawa... I thought I wasn't gonna be able to go through the door without my ticket! >_<" Luckily, the man said it was okay & that next time I should remember... MY GOSH! I felt sooo dumb! Hahaha. *SIGH*

Tony's mom ended up picking us up, and they dropped me off in front of the main gate. I had to help my auntie & mom with the booth stands (: It was FREEZING cold outside, OMG! >_<" I stayed there for like four hours! LoL, but I met new Japanese people! (: And random customers waved hi to me or said that I was "Kirei" or "Kawaii"... LOL, wth. O_o Hahaha. But yeahh, I came home at almost 10pm! >_<"

It was a prettyyyy fun, but busy dayyy! BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! :)
I wanna have more adventures like these in Japan.... :D
Makes me feel like everything's okay,
when sometimes it's not...
Haha.

I'm tired, so I'll end this!

I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE DAYS LIKE THIS! ^-^
