Day 28 : 4 Weeks
Oct. 6th, 2010 05:54 pmSo it has now been 4 weeks since I left the states. It's been one crazy month? (I guess 4 weeks really are only 28 days, and a month is 30-31 days ((except February)), but...I digress...)
I can say that this has been quite an experience! It's been fun so far! Really fun! I won't say that every single day has been amazing, but, for the most part, I can say that I've been happy here. Of course there have been days when I was depressed (last Saturday is an example), but I think that the awesome days have outweighed the depressed days. Yeah, I'm sure of it.
As of now, I've made a lot of new friends. Of course the exchange students are to be expected, but I've made so many Japanese friends! It's really awesome! I mean...what else can I say? They are cool people! Nice and fun to be around. And they drink just as much as us Americans do on the weekends. Hahaha... Really, for anyone who has thought differently, Japanese and American college students pretty much all act the same. Not much difference. (Aside from the obvious physical and language differences.)
I never really had a problem adjusting to life here, to be honest. I guess most people have that stage when they negatively compare their country to the country they're currently residing in... But I suppose it has either not affected me yet, or just won't happen. Really, I don't see that much difference to compare things negatively. The only thing I could "complain" about is the fact that it's hard to find food I know how to cook. And that's really not a complain - just an observation.
I can say, though, that I still miss all of my friends greatly. I really do. A month away doesn't seem that long, but, when you don't have your friends around, it really can seem to drag on... That's the only thing I think I'd change about being here. If I could have one, and just one, friend here, I would be so happy. It'd be an awesome time! Well, of course I have all my new friends, and they seem to be doing the job of making it awesome! Still, one old friend would be nice.
Eh...I'm tired of typing now. I don't really have anything new to say. I feel like everything I just said is just a rehash of what I've already said before. Well, I guess that's not a bad thing? Who knows? Maybe whoever's reading this will think it's more interesting than I do.
