Yasumiiiiiii

ON THURSDAY, MY CAMERA BROKE. I WAS SLIGHTLY NOT HAPPY.
However, I bought a new one yesterday. It's pink and very cute. Unfortunately I cant access all of the picture on my old camera, so if/until I figure that out, Ill have to take new ones to upload :)

ALSO. This comes up as on Sunday? That is not true! It is Monday here!

Anyway......National holiday means no school! It's labor day in America too, right? Aah, twins!

Last week we finished our school festival. It was three days and ended with Sports Day. It reminded me a lot like field day in middle school but slightly more organized and fun. I was in a relay too. The students had to run around the track, stop at a desk and answer a math problem, after that was done, we had to grab a piece of bread hanging from a string without using our hands. After you grabbed the bread, you ran to the finish line. I finished 3rd out of 8. THIRD! ME! Can you believe it? I was so proud of myself...and the bread was very tasty :D

Things are getting easier too. I finally understand my Host Family situation. I swith families on November 1st. It's very sad to think about really, but I'm sure it will work out in the end. And the language difference is getting easier. I can understand and pick out more and more words I know and read along with the TV. And I had a conversation with my host sister and her friends about food that we like, in Japanese! I still have a long way to go but I think I've made an important step!!

Until next time! Ja neeee
