6 more daysssssssssss (;

So 6 more days to go and I'm out of here!
Its not that i want to get out of here because i don't like it here or anything its just i feel like i want a getaway...ever get one of those where you just want to escape to a place where no one knows you and you know no one? We'll I'm going to get that! I'm really excited even though there are many things that could go wrong i dont care! I cant wait...I haven't met new people in sooooo lonnngggggg. I'm craving to meet new people and to do new things I've never thought possible, know what I mean? Yupppppppppppp (:
I'm craming myself with homework right now trying to get all my stuff in. Everyday something needs to be accomplished. My parents are going to nag me until I leave and I know it. Just 6 more days. I know going to Japan will be fun but rough, getting along with my host family as well as communication. We'll see what flows along may's roaring river, whats the japanese word for fighting? Is it gam-bai-re?

Gifts for the unknown host family!

So i went shopping today with my brothers girlfriend to the mall and bought my host family their gifts! I went a few days before and got chocolates from the mall and a lotion set from victoria's secret. Then today I went to Made In Oregon and got a grip load of stuff. I got them Jams, smoked salmon and a picture of where i live :) Pretty awesome stuff. I hope they like it, its not that exciting but maybe they'll like it? On the letter YFU (youth for understanding, the organization who does exchange programs) sent to my house said i should also buy gifts for my new friends there because Japanese people like giving gifts, OH HEY I LIKE GIVING GIFTS! So i got some lip glosses from victoria's secret! I went to buy some essentials today from Fred Meyers, bleh. Afterward I went to HaeRim the Korean restaurant in Beaverton, it was delicious like always. I made a little stop to uwajimaya to buy some rice punch since we were around there but...we bought cinnamon punch instead. Which is disgustinggggg :'(
I'm really ganna miss my friends AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah! I'm watching japanese dramas to help me with my japanese! Hopefully that works out... Can't wait to receive my host family information!
No school monday, YEAHHHHH!
