Japan, I shall miss thee......

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 12:05 AM
Just got back yesterday from Japan with my Japanese Class. It was sooooooo beyond amazing I can't even think of a word that can sum it's awesomeness up together.

So, first, we-
OH WAIT, before Japan, I graduated high school. :XD:

Anyhoo, first, we all hadta travel for a week to prove none of us showed symptoms of the swine flu *rolls eyes* But it actually turned out to be excellent. It gave us a chance to all get to know each other (I really only knew a couple ppl, but I got to be good friends with the other ppl that went on the trip, whom I didn't know at all).
Well, we did lots of touring of famous temples and shrines down south in Kyoto, Nara, and such, and we also visited Hiroshima (it was very cool and interesting and informative, but very very very sad =() and this cave in Yamaguchi (it was SO COOL. I got a few REALLY awesome pics that I'ma be posting here soon =D)
Oh, and then the onsen. ooooooooomg the onsen....... X3 we were only there for a night, but we all managed to get two baths in (an onsen is a japanese bathhouse), and they upgraded our dinner, so we got the super fancy dinner w/ lots of food =D

We did all that before doing a homestay with a Japanese high school student and his/her family. It was really awkward for me, cuz my host student was pretty shy and I'm rather socially awkward, but we ended up having a lot in common and we had lots of fun. Especially at the beach. There was a major lack of waves, but we still played around a lot XD

I could easily go on for pages and pages, but I'ma just leave the Japan part at that. But first I'ma add how AWESOME the food was. As much as I loved the entire trip, probably one of the things I'm gonna miss the most is the food. Over there, you can get a lot in a restaurant for less than $10, most of which is probably healthier and more filling than most American foods. Plus they have some of the best sweets I've ever had. *_*
But there was a severe lack of fresh fruit.......

Aaaaaanyways
Now I'm getting over w/ jet-lag (It's midnight and I'm more awake than I should be XP) while wishing I had Word reinstalled on my computer so I can start writing my story for my new OCs (curse you ~ChaxxInClockwork for asking so many questions about my charas and thus making me think tons of details to my story and making me wanna start writing it *shakes fist*).
Eh, I'll figure something out......

^^

Lessee, what else.....
Well, classes don't start at my college till mid-September, so I've planned to go to the beach w/ :iconxxnikolaslikesricexx: and his family along w/ another friend for next week, then, for the next two months, I wanna
-visit my grandparents at some point
-play video games
-read the gazillion books I haven't read yet
-write my new story
-draw
and
-sleep
=)
Oh, and see lots of movies. Like today, I got my lazy butt out of bed to go see Transformers. It was AWESOME. The plot wasn't the best, but it was still pretty good (I think), and even if the plot wasn't good, there was lots of awesome effects and stuff blowing up to keep just about anyone happy. 8D

Oh yes, and bugging ~Roth99 to help me make my Cheshire Cat costume for Halloween/SacAnime(?) (she and ~ChaxxInClockwork made a list of charas for all of us to be for Halloween from Alice in Wonderland (the original, not the disney movie), and I'm super excited. =D)

And now I'ma start writing the intro to my story through something........
I'll be posting it up on DA once I get it started, so stay tuned!!! (all two or three of you who actually read through this post XP)

We're always told that for almost every word in the english language to be a real word, there needs to be a vowel.
But what good are most words without a consonant?
