This morning I was still feeling rather crummy, but I went with other people from my house to go fill out some paperwork on campus and get our alien registration forms completed. I got to meet a few other girls and they were all very nice.
Meeting them has helped me feel a little more positive about being here and Japanese in general. I'm going to try my hardest to make the best of this and enjoy my time here. I still feel depressed about not being at home, but I enjoyed being out and about today and getting to know a few of the girls I'm living with. I also rented a bicycle. It has a cute basket and a bell..so when I feel down I think I'll just ride my bike.
I still feel that staying for the semester will be a better option for me. I miss home too much. I still am not sure about continuing with Japanese when I return home, but only time will tell.
I hope that the busier I get, the faster time will pass.
Sounds like you had a better day. What color is your bike? I have this image in my mind of you on the bike ringing your bell and Remy in the basket with his ears pinned back by the wind! Did you make it to the health center? I'm glad to know that you are beginning to meet some of the other students. You're such a special person and I know your light is going to shine brightly in Japan. I miss you and love you, but also realize that you are in the right place at this moment in time. Much love and hugs I am sending to you.
