I know it been a while since I posted,but as I have been keeping in touch with many of you through packages and post, I have not felt the need to blog as much lately.

You have all heard that my birthday went well and more of you sent cards than I expcted.
Thankyou to,G & G,Granny, Chris and Les,Michelle and the Ricardi crew.
I also received presents from mum,dad,mainge,Milo and Darkenss, which was nice.

You have all heard that I had 3 cakes, 2 at school (chocolate and white chocolate) given to me by my classmates. My third cake was one Agui grandma gave as a present,it was snoopy in space themed and my favrrite kind,icecream.
(two grandma's,the one who lives with us,hostdads mum, and the one who lives across the road and still tends the feilds, she's alot like Granny fyi. she just got back from a trip to Korea aka Agui grandma)

You all know we had takoyaki for dinner,I ate to much and had to sleep it off under the piano(which is where my host sister sleeps sometimes) for a few minutes.

Since that I have been enjoying days at school lasting only 3 hours due to large amounts of tests results being marked and handed back.

Cooked for my family for 2 days while my host mother went to Korea with Agui grandma.

Wrote some hiku and was comended by my classamates even thought it was in english. This was for my modern Japanese class

" the winter rain falls,
dreery mist is a blanket.
city sleeps beneath".

"cold winter beast
Playful nips become bites
Soon it's upon us"

I'v written my final speech to the school and my classamates.Now to memorize it.

Am writing Christmas cards to my in school friends after writing all yours( hope you get them by the way).

Soon I will be on Christmas holidays.

Been invited shopping after christmas with Maiko-chan

Hopeing to see a movie with Remi-chan sometime.

Probably catch up with a whole bunch of you online. so untill then I hope you enjoyed my blog and I will see you all soon ( with the exception of Justin who does infact live in America)

Quick thought on leaving.
I don't want to leave Japan, I have become to acustom to life here and the lifestyle.I have become acustom to eating foods that none of you would attempt to eat, to eating rice almost every meal, to using chopsticks,removing my shoes at the front door, wearing a seifuku ( cute school uniform) and speaking Japanese on a daily baisis. I am use to 3 trains every morning and 7 classes every day with one break for lunch. Acustom to attending clubs after school and comunicating across classrooms with cute print letters.
However I really miss you all and I know Christmas will be harder because of this. I have had so many familys in the past 9 months (5 in total) that it makes me realize just how wonderful my own family are. My real family. I also really want to feel the reverse culture shock when I get back to Australia too. To hear your accents and see what forigners see in your Australian style.

Untill my next post, be happy and take care.
