And so craziness begins...

So, culture-shock is in full force. It's kind of like when you have a mosquito bite: You want to believe it won't bother you and you can just go on with daily life, but it's always itchy (I definitely typed out "ichi" which is 1 in Japanese... wow)and there to frustrate you. I mean, Japan is not itchy. That was just a terrible simile... I can just sense Chris calling me a huge dork right now.

Main point: it is hard to shop for detergent.

Also, Jerome definitely was almost hit by a car when it was his right-away... Fact: Asians cannot drive.

hmm what else. We had our placement tests today, and I got into level 2! Yaay. In all honesty, I thought I was going to be placed lower, but I guess I learned something from Bundy sensei (Kunii sensei... not so much). We had an oral exam along with it, in which Aizawa sensei would ask me many questions that I would answer in one word. I would say my favorite part of that was that he was shocked about the following:

1. I was half Japanese

2. I knew very little of the language

3. I play taiko

4. I listen to rap

he said in Japanese all he knew of rap was "gurandu masta furashu" or, "grand master flash".... hahahaha

but yeah, It sucked because some people were placed in level 1 that shouldn't have (like my roommate). She cried and everything... I wonder if I would be just as upset in that situation... Well, I think right now I am more upset at the excessive amount of work I have to do.

I talked to some Japanese girls today from high-school to help them with their English and it was a ton of fun. They mostly asked me about boyfriends in America. They said things like "Ohhh... I want a boyfriend so bad!" and "American boys are more handsome than Japanese boys"... I laughed the whole time.

One last thing: I am doing a host family! or, I am about 80% sure... so I'll know officially by tomorrow! It should be a good experience. Anyways, I need to cram more, so I am out... I have no catchy ending to this so jaa mata!
