Leaving Texas!!

So, Tomorrow I leave Texas. How exciting.. It's like a landmark on the time line before I leave to Japan. I never thought I would actually get this far! I remember a year ago when I signed up for the AFS program I had alot of doubt that I would ever be able to actually go. Turns out I could and here I am. So today I'm taking my bed and desk and things in my room I want to keep and taking them all to storage. Almost finished!!

So some more information I have gotten.... Turns out I will be riding my bike to school every morning!! How legit is that??? Couldn't be any better as it will give me more freedom of movement and more ability to see my city everyday. Also I will be going to DisneyWorld and DisneySea Tokyo at the end of March, And I will be starting school on April 7th.

Tomorrow will be great! I won't have to deal with anymore house drama. The constant brotherly rivalry, My dads GF drama and her womanly temper. But i'm gonna miss my cats as I might never get to see them again. D:

Anyway, I'll keep this post fairly plain and simple and boring. I'll try to keep you all posted over the next 2 weeks as I get to my Gateway orientation in LA. :'D

Family/City/School Update!

こんいちわ！So I just found out a few minutes ago that I'll be located in the city of Okazaki, or Okazaki-shi (shi means city...) in Aichi-ken (State or Province). As to other things about it, like North, East ETC. or which places I'll be near and all that fun stuff, I Won't really know untill either my host family emails me back (I just sent them an email.... yeah I'm impatient. :P) or I get there. Okazaki has a River that runs through the middle, which looks really really pretty in pictures, and an old important castle, which I refuse to look at pictures of because I want it to be a surprise. Though From what I see the view from it is amazing. I'm so excited my head could pop.
My School is the Okazaki West Senior High School, of which Google was of no help finding. but I saw a picture or two of some other high schools in Okazaki and they all looked amazing, so I'll make the blind assumption that my school looks equally as awesome. And according to my AFS page, I'll be starting school on the 1st of April. that gives me like... 7 days to get myself situated in this new country. heheheh

I'll be living with the Iwase family, in a household (I think it's a house? I'll find out soon enough...) of 7. So that's Mr. Iwase, Mrs Iwase, and their 4 sons and 1 daughter. Quite the family huh? All of which I'm sure I will get along with nicely.

As soon as I Know more about all this stuff, like family information, what my school uniform will look like, and how the city is, I'll be sure to make more updates. GAH, I'm just so impatient!
