Hmm.

I realized now, that I don't think I've really talked about what my daily life is like in these posts, just bits and pieces of days and stuff that's been happening. So I'll do just that!

From Monday to Friday, I go to school. I go by train from my town to Fukui City where my school is. The train leaves at around 7:30 and I get to the station near my school at around 8:00. I switch trains once, the latter being very, very crowded. I've literary been pushed onto the train by the eki'in...train people...uh I don't remember what they are called in English................................(anyway) which was rather alarming the first time, but now I'm pretty used to it. And the train ride itself isn't that long so it's not that bad :)
And at school, I'm in the 1-C class. Japanese High Schools are made of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years, or Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors (NO FRESHMAN, they are still Junior High School students here, ahaha). And the grades are divided into classes A - H. So Japanese high school students don't pick and choose classes to make their schedule, they choose their class. The C Class is the International Business Class (Commercial High School haha) and my host mother told me that it's the most difficult class in the school...SO WHY AM I HERE? However, There are two English classes, one of which that meets everyday. Anyway, this means that you have the same classes with the same people all day. And you have a homeroom teacher, with homeroom before and after school starts and finishes. My homeroom teacher? Her name's Watanabe - sensei........ :D
The class schedule is also different! Unlike America which has a set schedule, every class everyday at the same time, Japanese Schools have many different classes that maybe only be two or three or four times a week, and everyday, at a different time. This......... I still don't understand, since the schedule written on the wall isn't the class that I'll have. I'll surviveeeeeeee (maybe). My classes include Math (sophomore math haha), English, English Grammar (They learn the weirdest things is Grammar. For example, something like "The book dropped itself on me" ...Why would you need to learn that!! I'd just say "The book fell"!!), Art, Music, and P.E. I may be able to take Calligraphy soon, so that might be exciting (>.And I've probably mentioned this already, but I wear a uniform! I wear a dark gray skirt with a white collar long sleeve shirt, light gray vest and ribbon. When its very cold, I wear a gray blazer as well. I'll try and post pictures soon :D Sometimes when I read manga, the uniform in the story will look like my uniform and I get excited. Funny huh? Anyway, I think my uniform is pretty cute. I actually like it more than having to constantly run around before school trying to figure out what to wear like I do back home. So it saves time and looks cute, yay! My only complaint is that the skirt is a little small and after I eat lunch it is difficult to breatheeeeeeeeeeeeee.

UWAH. I typed a lot. There is still so much to say but I'll talk about that later. It will give everyone who reads this something to look forward too :D AND, next week, I'm going to Nagoya so I'll be sure to talk about that.

Also, I've been a bit homesick lately. This weekend, I just started crying while I was spending time with my host family. I don't really know why apart from the fact I just miss the familiarity of America........ although thats nothing fun to talk about...just know that I miss everyone and everything very, very much x3

Also, also....GOODBYE ENGLISH SKILLSSSSS. I apologize for my inability to type anything D;

TAKE CARE
Love,
Molly
