Missing Home Already

Today was a really good day, but for some reason I missed my family and boyfriend tremendously.  I felt rejected because everyone I called didn’t pick up and no one had the chance to pick up his or her international phone cards to call me in Hong Kong.  I got over it eventually when I got to speak to everyone.  I was just extremely worried because so many things have been happening since I left the U.S.  Before I left, we experienced an earthquake, then on my way to the airport hurricane Irene was heading toward my home city – New Jersey and also New York.  Now there is flooding everywhere.  I just wanted to know if everyone was okay, and thank God they were.  They mean the world to me.  Without their support, this trip would have been a lot harder to manage.   I don’t feel like I was over reacting.  L I am just a family person.  I know some of you can agree with me.  But yea hopefully this is one of FEW depressing blogs!!! LOL  It is a sad story with a happy ending.

Time Flies

Less than 3 weeks left in Japan! I want to stay here longer!

My feelings went from being indifference to being homesick and then now to wanting to stay here longer! I’ve made some great friends and it will be too sad to leave them all. I am even having thoughts about having a career in Japan! Crazy, isn’t it? I had little to no interest to work in Japan before I came here! It’s funny how things change so fast. I guess I’ve finally gotten used to living here in Japan…and just as I’m getting used to it, I will have to leave in 18 days. I kind of wished I had applied to study here for a year, but then that would cause some problems in me graduating on time. I guess all I can do now is enjoy the rest of my time here.
Last week, we were asked to make a yearbook page for IES, and I would like to share mind. Take a look!

Alright, it seems like there’s a problem with uploading images for me. (My permission was denied!) So that means the picture will have to be delayed until this gets resolved! Sorry about that!
Anyway, the last 3 months have been awesome and I really wish I have more time here. On top of that, all the final projects are due in the next 3 weeks!! That’s going to be tough but oh well! I’m in Japan!!
