Soooo Golden week vacation is all over now T-T very sad. The only exciting thing that happened was the Plastic Tree concert on Friday. First show in Japan ^^. I can say with great confidence that going to lives in Japan is so much better then in America. Theres definitely a lot of pushing but on one is trying to kill you o_O. Seriously the fangirls here aren’t rabid so it’s possible to actually enjoy the show without some retard screaming bad Japanese in your ear and trying to climb over you to touch the vocalists crotch. Wonderful change, I want more lives T-T.
Shone is going to be coming to Japan this month! So we’re gonna drag him out with us and go to Tokyo Disneyland ^^! I’m actually really happy about it, I’m hoping Shono will help me a lot more with my Japanese. Like being in Japan you really do learn a lot in school and just living here…but that doesn’t make it easy at all to make actual local Japanese friends, mainly because at level one (and Liz at level 2) it’s still difficult making conversation (with hot guys *cough cough*) XD.
It’s really funny though, Liz was looking into a colleg in NY that offers advanced Japanese courses and they have like a quiz thingy up to test what year of Japanese you should apply for….and being here only 1 month my Japanese language skills are as high as someone whose taken 2 years worth of Japanese courses in America….I effen love KCP.
School is horribly busy. KCP is seriously the hardest Japanese language school in Japan…with good reason. But holy crap it’s amazing how much they shove into your head in such a short amount of time. I’m pretty sure once I go back to the US I’m gonna start applying for a visa to do the 6 month program next year so I can probably get up to level 3…and at level 4 you’re considered fluent. I’ve been thinking about maybe going to a University here once I can pass the fluency test…but I’ll decide on that at a more appropriate time.
for now…stupid stuff going on at KCP:

(student formed) KCP slogans:
-Minna no fajita
-Minna no Rocky party
-60 cm of excellence
-This is a 5 tree situation
-Only in Roppongi is it a 6 tree situation
-”Just relax and stick it in”
-issho ni hakimashou!
-peeshimasu!
-nani wo sutteimasu ka?
-Tanaka-san says “stay away from Japanese beef with cars”
-Do the benkyou!
-let’s yukai Kagesawa ;)
-Lets go to the erebeetaa
-sou ja arimasen. techou desu!
-What time is korea open till?
-RICECRACKER

Lots of these require much explaining…but I’ll get to that in time XD. I effen love KCP.

Excuse me if Im my typing/english is poor at the moment, Im on a japanese overload and Japanese keyboards are really messed up so its a little difficult to type. Soooo lets see. My first day here was utter hell. 14 hours on a plane…then like 4 more hours at the airport going though immigration and waiting for Kuniisan to get the other students…the dragging like 70lbs of luggage on the Trains…which we had to take past Kanagawa to Shibuya (I think) then someone finally met us to take us back on the trains to our dorm…which is at the top of a HUGE hill which we had to drag all of our luggage up…and then finally we arrived at like 9 T-T. The next day we took the placement tests and stuff lol Im in level one of course. AND with our free time Liz and I went to Harajuku to go shopping…on a sunday so it was really crowded…but I bought a cute skirt from putumayo and the girl who worked in there spoke english so she was like stalking us to talke XD. AND I got to finally see the H. naoto store!!! I think I might go invest in like a $300 outfit XD. Liz and I bought cute backpacks from the naoto store for school….muahahaha and they have match outfits that I really just might buy. Im all in a shopping mood here but I know I must resist.
Class started on Tuesday…and holy crap…Damn Koreans know everything we are learning…so the class is at kind of a fast pace. Im told it will start to slow down in another week or so cause theyll start teaching stuff even the Koreans dont know lol. I think Im also like the youngest person in the school. Everyone is like 28, 30, 26 etc…and Im still 20 XD. We’re going to Kamakura next weekend (weekend of my birthday) I think to stay at a traditional inn and see a shrine or something. I think itll be a nice way of spending my 21st. One of our advisors, Tanakasan, is SO effen funny. Hes so serious but humerous at the same time. We plan on getting him drunk and making him sing Karaoke with us XD.

I dont have any pictures to post yet as I forgot my Camera cable and I have to wait for Joe to send it XD. Ill probably start posting in a week or two. For now I must go to class (its 12:00 in the afternoon here btw…and probably like 2 am in the states XD). Sooo I have class in a half an hour. I will update soon I hope. <3
