I knew I would fall through on updating.

I'm finding that travel blogs are more for traveling. No really, it makes sense. I'm not actually traveling, so blogging is a little awkward. It's not like I have a great "bloggable" experience that often, so it's hard to keep up with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a great time and I love it here, it's just not really blog material.

Or something. Yeah, that's probably just a big excuse for not having the willpower to update my blog :P


It hit me the other day as I was standing on the train coming home from work that my study abroad is almost half over. And I got really sad. Like, REALLY sad. It probably looked like I was about to cry. I feel like it's gone so fast, and I don't want it to be over. I really do love this place. I mean, I miss home, and that's the truth, but here also feels like home. I'm stuck between two homes. It's an odd feeling.

I miss my crazy friends and my warm loving family, I miss my dog, I miss my room (read: bed), and I miss frozen yogurt (a lot!!!). But when I leave here I'll miss my crazy friends, my warm loving host-family, my host-family's dog, my room (read: warm cozy futon), and non-fatty foods. No matter where I go I'll miss something.

But I won't miss Tokyo prices. Nope, no way.



Today I saw a play!! It was awesome!! It was Zorro the Musical, in Japanese. It was different from the movie, needless-to-say, but I was able to follow along just fine. The hardest part to understand are the song lyrics. Sung Japanese is so much harder to understand than spoken Japanese. It's more difficult to hear the difference between words and sentences, so I was a little lost, but I could understand the basic idea enough to figure out what was happening. It really is an awesome feeling to see movies and plays in another language and understand what's going on. Makes me feel cool ;)

Speaking of movies, Social Network just came out here and I'm going to see it this weekend. I heard it makes you want to quit Facebook though. It's looks kinda dark, so I have a feeling I'm not going to like it very much. But I'd still like to see it!
