In 2 months I fly back home.. that means I've been here for 8 months already!! It's kinda hard to believe... It's gone by so quickly!
I have so many things I want to do still! So many friends I haven't done stuff with! That's the problem with having 40 people in your class and loving every single person to bits... You don't have time to go do something with everyone :(
Until now I've had an amazing time! C: There are quite a few exchange students who are unhappy with their family or can't get the hang of Japanese.. and I'm not saying I'm very good at Japanese, but I can get along.. I can have fun with my friends even if I don't understand everything C: And I'm extremely happy here!! My host family isn't very strict, only sometimes, and so it hasn't been hard to fit in :) My host mother is adorable and even if my host brother is annoying at times I love him so much!!
I'm gonna miss them when I go home... And even though I don't see my host dad much, he's so nice and I'll miss him too!! LoveChan, the dog too ><
I'll miss my classmates too... everyone of them! It's crazy how everyone gets along! I mean usually in a class you have like groups right? And it sometimes gets a little mean at times... but in my class I've never seen anything like that! you have groups of friends but everyone loves everyone!
I<3愛～ １Ｉ組大好き！！
I really hope I'll be able to meet with everyone again in the future!!!! Especially Kitty and people ><
Well anyway... I need to go back to studying for Jtest which is on Sunday and also school tests and JLPT which is in 2 weeks!! Ahhhh ><"
Ja ne~ xox

Back to school
My title is back to school but I still don't really know what I'm gonna write about...
So I guess I should explain what I did during the hols?
For the first 2 weeks I went to my club, anime illust., and finished drawing my part for the Cultural Festival..
Then at some point I went to an island not too far away and as a family we stayed there for one night! The first day was BOILING and so we were at the beach all day and my back and shoulders burnt and were bright red!! It hurt too much I couldn't sleep more than 3 hours that night..
But it was super fun!! I dug a huuuge hole and Yuu-kun could fit his whole leg in it XD
In the evening at the hotel we had an enormous dinner with so many amazing things like crab and loads of different types of fish!! And many other things too :D I liked almost everything!!
Then they put futons out for us while we did HANABII <3 Hehe :3 (Fireworks)
So I didn't sleep well and so I tryed to keep LoveChan quiet all night by playing with her ^^' I eventually gave up and fell asleep at like 4 in the morning.. x)
That next day, after a huuuuge breakfast that I could only eat a tiny bit of seeing as I was still stuffed, we took the ferry back and yeh... had a lovely rainy day in Toyota :P
After a few days my back started peeling a lot .__. Wow I hate that SO MUCH!! I'm gonna be more careful about getting burnt from now on ><"
A bit later we went to Tokyo!!! I took the shinkansen with my family and then went around with Hanako.. I already wrote about this didn't I? xD
So! After that, we went to Nagano!! Up in the mountains~ I wanted to go hiking but everyone else didn't want to go coz it was too cloudy to see a good view from the top x)
Ah well xD Next time :) So I just played guitar and walked LoveChan and played around in the river and stuff :)
We played Jungle Speed EVERY NIGHT!! XD Yuu-kun seems to really like it hehe :P
After THAT!! I went (by myself, kawaisou deshou!!) shopping!! I had to walk just over half an hour from the station to get to the recycle shop :) Which means my legs were dead by the end of the day but I still went crazy and bought loads of cheap stuff!! Including a not so cheap coat and jumper and stuff..^^' あらま。。
On the first 2 days of school, a Chinese girl called ShuChan and a Taiwanese girl called RinChan/MeiChan どっちでも良い；） And it's really fun chatting to them!! They both like drama and stuff :D So yeh everyone had tests and us 3 had to "study" and we also wrote a "letter" to the student body :) It was quite fun actually ^___^
I've actually started listening to the lessons seriously and it's so tiring .__. I don't really understand the maths.... but I understand quite a bit of 社会。。which in English is..? I wonder.. xD Heuu XD Can't remember.. social studies? maybe? :P
I already gave up on 古典and国語 though (Old Japanese and hard Japanese .__.)
Everyday after lessons we've been preparing for the Cultural Festival, which reminds me! I need to draw some ultra cute animals to use on the "zoo scene" hehe xD And so yeh it's good fun! But also tiring!!!! :O Then after that I have Anime Illust. and well, I draw or read manga ^___^ Or sleep :P
Oh yeh! On Monday, at karate, I had to punch (with gloves) reaaaally hard at a punch bag.. wait not a bag... a "mito" I think? And so anyway by the end of it my knuckles were bleeding!!! And today at karate I had gloves on too but as soon as I punched then the wounds opened up and I started bleeding again ^^" My sensei had to bind it up for me :S I should get some of that stuff myself! Looks useful! xD
And that, my friends, is where my story ends! :)
I should get back to studying/drawing etc... ><
Ps: My teacher seems to have overcome a BIG change since the first term!! She's suddenly decided to give SO MUCH HOMEWORK!!! :O It's mad.. I don't know how I'm supposed to learn about 100 kanji in 1 week... well she gave us 5 days and now there's only till Monday left so 3 days! :(
Okay I'll stop there! XD Bye bye~ o/

Tokyo
Tokyo is the best :D
A bit too crowded though... x')
I got to see an amazing view from an observatory tower thingy :D It was soo cool!!! There were too many clowds around Fujisan which was a shame..
I also got to check out Harajuku, Shinjuku and Shibuya and went to a Temple and wrote a wish and everything!! Went to the Skytree but coz there were so many people, instead of going up we checked out the shops which in itself was AWESOME!!! :D
I'm too lazy for any more details so if you're curious just ask me in private :p
Jaa ne~!! *Luffy imitation*
(I've been watching One Piece lately!! Luffy sure is epic X'D)

Denpark pics
This is from when I went to Denpark with Kei-chan and her old teacher :)
Miffyyyyyyy :3
Festivals
I just realized I haven't written anything about the summer festivals here!!
And I've already been to like... 4? One was a little town festival where everyone was very friendly and at the end there was a lotto..bingo? Dunno xD So anyway you could win lots of random stuff, not only cool stuff like BBQ sets and bikes :P
I also went to the 2nd and 3rd (I think?) most popular fireworks festivals in the area :D (Or was it the whole of Japan..? I doubt it ._.) So yeh, Toyota and Okazaki :D It was AMAZING!!! I've never seen such amazing fireworks O.o I mean you normally get a few different types and it'll last maybe 15 mins or something but these fireworks were all different types and characters and symbols and it lasted for atleast an hour!! They also had the olympics symbol at Toyota ;D
The place was PACKED! Especially the train stations!! O.o
I wore my yukata (which my host mum bought for me ^_^) to them of course :D
The Toyota one I went with my family and invited 2 friends and the Okazaki one, I went with a friend :3
The day after the Okazaki one I went to Anjo for the Tanabata festival! There were loads of decorations everywhere!!! All traffic was stopped on those streets too~ On both sides were stalls and stalls and stalls etc... Quite a lot of it was food but there were also games to play, darts and shooting and catching fish and such, and also just stores with STUFF. xD
It was really fun looking at everything and then we stopped for kakigori (crushed ice with toppings~) I put condensed milk on mine... YUM! Definitely gonna try that again sometime!!
Wow I'm writing a lot today!! ^-^
So yes that's the summary I guess..? I've been lazing around these past few days.. and I think the day after tomorrow I'm going to an Onsen with my little bro and grandparents? Yay! o/
And on Saturday pool~ Then go to a friend's house for the night and on Sunday something about fish.. not fishing.. but catching fish with your hands? Dunno :P Maybe I'll write all about that adventure next week if I have the time..
I don't write in this blog very regularly do I :P kekeke
I need to put pics up too... .__. Too much to do >< I also finally started doing my homework today! Can't believe I thought I could just leave it to the last minute... :O We have to go to school sometime during the hols to give it to the teacher.. in 2 weeks I think :S Oh dear dear dear!
And I haven't done any kumon for atleast a month! :OOOO No no no no no!
I wonder if I'll ever be able to motivate myself to continue reading Hansel and Gretel in Japanese ^^'
Oh yeh, speaking of reading.. I also have to read Harry Potter in Japanese and then write a review.. in Japanese ;___; MURI!
I'll stop rambling now ^-^ Maybe I should put pics up now? C:
Bai bai~ :3 Mata ne!
