A Day In My Life

I filmed this a while ago (October 20th, to be exact) so my daily life is different now.  But, my video camera records in .MOV, which is a completely useless file type unless you have a Mac computer, so I have been figuring out how to convert them up until now.  But, converting the files created a lot of corruptions, so then I had to go and try to cut them all out (you will see that I most definitely did not do this successfully) and actually create the video.  So, here's my life from Autumn quarter.
The corruptions that you can just skip over are between 6:19 - 8:50, 13:39 - 14:14, 14:46 - 15:03, 16:56 - 17:28, and 18:00 - 18:18.
I put more time and effort into this thing than it was worth and I don't even care to go back and fix those parts now.  But all you missed was the inside of the dining commons and my walk back into my dorm, and then my egg and toast dinner, and the explanation about what we were freaking out about, which was that someone (later figured out to have been two guys from the dorm) had turned off the lights in the hallway, run by wearing all black, and shut the door on us, successfully scaring us all.

There are also a few things I thought I should clarify/correct about what I say in this video.
- The "sakura trees" that I walk under in front of Honkan at the beginning of the video are not actually sakura.  I was mistaken; they are ume (plum) trees.  The sakura trees on campus are at the front entrance.  The ume trees bloom about a week or two before the sakura, but are almost as beautiful
- The reason it is called "bakayama," or idiot mountain, is because when the weather gets really nice in the spring time everyone skips class and lays out in the sun on bakayama, so they are not being educated and are idiots laying about the "mountain."

Enjoy!

    I enjoyed sharing a glimpse into your life pumpkin. Your friends seem wonderful, the campus is beautiful, I now know you are in fact eating, and I loved the midnight birthday celebration that you do in your dorm.

    I appreciate the time you spent in putting this blog together for us!

    I love you and miss you very much! <3

40 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Japan

Before I jump straight into this list, I want to clarify that some of these points may be generally incorrect, or could be exclusive to Tokyo.  I could also have some of my reasonings wrong.  This list is simply something I compiled based off of my own experiences throughout the year that I lived and traveled throughout Japan. This list is also not, in any way, a complete one.  I'm sure if you search the internet you can find many other very true facts about Japan that I have forgotten to list here. In urban areas there will, at any given time or place, be at least one コンビニ ("conbini" / convenience store) within walking distance. Japanese people don’t usually have  middle names . Japanese people are very interested in each others' blood type - it's like astrology in America, except people take it very seriously.  Expect to be asked what your blood type is at least once. Japanese deodorant supposedly doesn't work very well.  I brought my own deodo...

Osawadai Elementary School

Just a short (15 minute) walk from campus there is an elementary school, and I was one of the people who visited it today.  When we first walked in, we saw a bike rack... full of unicycles!?  Two steps into their territory and Japanese children are already proving their superiority over me.  We walked into the school building where we took off our shoes and were given slippers to wear.  Then we met all the children (the 5th grade class) in the gym.  Each of us was paired up with two children.  My partners were Yuta (the boy) and Olivia (the girl... obviously).  The children gave us a tour of the school.  Olivia is half British and fluent in English just as much as she is in Japanese, so I received a very comprehensive tour.  Her accent was very interesting, as you can imagine.  Yuta was pretty good at English, too, but was a little bit shy and spacey.  This elementary school was just amazing.  They had classrooms for each grade...

Coping

Being away from friends and family has gotten me down a bit lately.  It's been a month, and the homesickness started to kick in.  Also, I think I understand what they mean by culture shock now.  I admit, I was starting to regret my decision just a little bit.  All I could think about was how long it would be until I could have a hug from my mom and my dad and my boyfriend, and my mind started to become physically tired from all the Japanese.  It's exhausting to feel like you don't understand a single thing in your life; when you don't understand what anyone is saying, when you don't know anything about where you are, when you don't know anything about the people around you, and when nobody who truly loves you is by your side, and won't be for another 11 months.  But then I remembered: I may not understand anything around me, but I understand myself.  It sounds so moral-y, but I honestly think it's important to remember.  I need to remember it, and...
