Packing... Sort of...

Right now I'm packing and cleaning my apartment, because tomorrow I am moving out! Well... sort of packing. More like taking a break (procrastinating). I just spent a few minutes on facebook even though I lost a couple hours of packing time because we had a blackout earlier this evening. But anyways...When I was on facebook, I saw a video that one of my friends here posted. It's really cute and you should watch it!...

Another Earthquake

Last night I was working on packing up some stuff to send to America. I was taping up a box when my apartment started shaking like crazy. I noticed it from the window first because I was kneeling right next to it. I jumped up really quickly and ran away from the window. I stood in between the two bedrooms for a little bit looking around and saw my Christmas tree (Yeah... Christmas tree. I finally took it down today, lol.) wobbling back and forth....

Earthquake

You've most likely heard about the large earthquake that hit Japan yesterday. It was far away from here, but I still felt it. During 6th period, the 1st grade students (middle school 7th grade in the US) were playing dodge ball and I joined in. We were in the gym and there have been many times in the gym that I've thought for a second that there was an earthquake. The floor shakes in there even from people just walking. So with about 40 students...

My Apartment

I've started packing things up, but before I began packing I took a video of my apartment. I took a video soon after I moved in, but I hadn't decorated my apartment at all and the video was really poor quality. So here's a better quality video and you can see how it has changed (a little bit) since I moved in. Sorry the video is in two parts. I tried putting them together with Windows Movie Maker, but it didn't work with these videos for some reason. ...

Two Weeks

Two weeks from now I will be on a plane heading back to the US (well, hopefully if my flight is on time!). It's crazy to think about it! I'm going to miss a lot here, but there are things to look forward to as well. Back in May I did a post about what I missed and didn't miss (click here to see it). Since May, I still agree with many of those things, with the exception of not missing food. I miss a lot of food in America now. So now here is a new...

I ♥ Sakura!

I have now lived in Japan for almost an entire year. When I arrived last March, the sakura (cherry blossoms) had begun blooming, but had not reached their peak. I'm leaving the same day I came (the 22nd!) so I I thought I was going to miss the cherry blossom season. However, there are many cherry trees that bloom a bit earlier so I have gotten to see sakura again! :)Here are a couple pictures that I took today near the park:I pretended to take a...
