I am in Japan!

But this must be proof that everything isn't sunshine and dasies.maah

I'm actually at my English teacher's house right now. Apparently my first host family is traveling overseas right now and won't be back until later this week. So it was a bit anticlimactic getting off the train yesterday. That definately doesn't mean that nothing exciting happened. After all, I said my "first" host family, because apparently I have two...????????????? The second greeted me at the train station yesterday. Unfortunately, I had no idea who they were, and now I feel very very terrible about not knowing what to say to them. I didn't even know their names. Now, I'm not sure how often I'll see them, after all I went home with my English teacher and not them. It's so confusing and I don't understand WHY NO ONE TOLD ME ANY OF THIS. I would have appreciated it a lot.

Also, I'm very ill right now. I've been in bed for the past 18 hours, apart from getting up to write this. My roommate in Tokyo was very sick during orientation, and the hotel didn't move her for another day and a half, and never clean the room afterwards either. So I may have caught what she had, plus all the traveling and uneccessary confusion must have taken its toll on me. However, I'm pretty sure it's not Swine Flu! Which is pretty good news. A lot of people here are very nervous about it. I've seen quite a few people around Japan wearing masks, and I was asked to take a Tamiflu pill at orientation since my roommate was sick at the time. Unfortunately, that didn't really prevent me from getting sick. BAH.

I'm sorry this isn't the most cheerful post, but it's what I'm feeling right now. Although I'm not sure it can get much worse than this, so hopefully my next entry will be a little more happy. Also, thank you for all the love on facebook!!! While it flooded my inbox, all the comments made me feel very very happy. I love all of them!

Until next time
