I guess I am homesick

days are getting harder. The mood is really low but each day i survive .
Tomorrow we play with the middle school band. it's going to be interesting I must say.
I finally recieved mail. Pleasant surprise from my school. Forgot about grad transitions I must say. The band club is preparing for a concert on January 12th. Gonna be interesting as well. 5 days later I leave. I can't believe I have another 2 months left. One time I'm thinking 2 months is quite long but another time I'm thinking 2 months is quite short.
I completed the song I composed for my school. Is pretty short and melody and accompaniment is simple but hey i'm a beginner. It is in Japanese I must say.
Money situation has been sort of solved. Today I took the time translating my father's letter for my homestay family. Quite a chore but it is complete.
Oh ya I should say everyday I write a diary in Japanese. My friend writes a diary in English. we exchange and check everyday. I hope my japanese has improved.
As well I realized that my highschool is quite old. Today I got to enter the really old highschool building. Back to the Meiji era. Where Samurais learned their lessons. Really weird but cool feeling. I still have time some time I will take pictures. My feet really hurt though from sitting the proper way.
there are lots coming up but excited feeling is sorta getting low. but Ganbarimasu. I 'll fight on to keep positive. hahaha.
mata ne
see ya next time

Transfer and Communication

So, I arrived in Seoul after a long 14 hour trip. 14? maybe even 15. The layover in Shanghai was brutal to say the least. Well the flight to Shanghai itself was brutal as well. First, there was no tv like i'm used to on long flight travels. Second, My laptop wasn't fully charged, so I couldn't even use it for long as I was saving it for the layover. Third, Food/service on the plane wasn't that great. I got 2 meals and some sort of sandwich snack. Also, I told you yesterday about gate checking in my guitar? Well, that didn't work out well. At least they let me put it in the overhead compartment besides it being a full flight. However, I sat beside a really nice person who helped me. The flight attendants were not really good at understanding English, so the person beside me helped me ask the flight attendants what to do and etc. So the 12 hr flight to Shanghai was brutal with me fighting to sleep or staring into nothingness, attempt at conversation to the perso...

Osaka! Takarazuka! Junsu?

So where do I begin? Last time I told you I was going to update in Japan but I ended up not doing that because on the flight to Japan, I made friends with the person beside me. We somehow connected in conversations during the flight over that, before she had to move on to Shanghai, thought we should chill together a little bit more. (Which reminds me that I need to e-mail her). Anyways, the flight over to Korea eventually was uneventful besides the turbulence in the beginning, well landing in Japan was very turbulent as well. The weather was not great at that time to say the least. Landed safely and I was happy to see that my friends had came to pick me up. Keeping it Korean style, decided to take a picture of my arrival/reunion. We caught up with each other on the way to the friend's place I'm staying at, and it really felt surreal for me to be back in Korea. It was nice and welcoming at the same time it was... yup I'm in Korea... kind of reaction. Since my plane lande...

A lot has happened

so a lot has happened since i last wrote. Kojokan's girls track and field team got 1st and 2nd place in the marathon relay. And the boys got 2nd place in the marathon relay yesterday. The band club went out for some fun at a bowling alley. That all went well. The sports festival went well. Running with a flute is really really difficult i must say. Then I went out with some friends and such. Studying times are getting hard. Now I am starting to get homesickness why? mainly because my school's 2nd year students are going to Canada in December for one week. that's all they talk about. Aaaa My bike had a flat tire so I had to walk with my bike home. Kinda tiring but the next day it was okay. Lately I have been in a rut. Friends are making me choose between them. Music club friends or class mate friends. I hate having to choose. urgh. The worse situation in the world. Himeji went well. Went Karaoking, saw Himeji castle and ate some really good food. Nice to meet them again. I w...
