Nihon ni imasu...=p

Well, this is my first entry from Japan...as you may have noticed, I'm a not feeling so well. I haven't been able to sleep very well since we got here, mainly due to my cold, jet-lag, the heat and missing everyone at home horribly. I'm hoping things will work themselves out soon, so I can post some happy news here, instead of whining. =(

Today's the big placement test to find out what level of Japanese we'll be studying...with my Kanji skills and a total of 4hrs of sleep (ending around midnight last night), I'm pretty sure I'll be testing into level 1. =P

It's great to be in Japan, but the culture shock is terrible. I'm sure soon I'll be loving every moment, but right now I just wanna curl up and cry somewhere.

My roommate is nice though...we met at the airport. Her name is Cassidy and so far, we're getting along well. =)

All I need are a few good nights of sleep and I should be fine again. Wish me luck.

Walruses,

Oj

Well, congratulations on making it over there safely and all that. I don't think it'll take you that long to adjust over there. Before you know it, it'll be time to come back and you won't want to leave.

Cheers,
Stephen
