I made it!

Yesterday was my first full day in Japan, it was also the busiest day of my life. That morning, I woke up to pouring rain which made me very happy. It was comforting and relaxing to hear the sound of the rain hitting the roof. My family is very nice and I feel so lucky to be staying with them. Yesterday, I went with my host sister to the American Embassy to get her visa approved, went to go take purikura, went to JR Tower, got lunch, went to my Grandmother's house(she's the cutest thing I've ever seen), went to a Rotarian's office to sign some papers, and went to my school to pick up all of my things. I loved how I was with my host family the entire day, I love spending time with them. I feel bad that my Japanese is so bad, but I'm picking up some new words so hopefully I'll get better. My chopstick skills have already increased due to the fact that we're always eating! The food is very good, but I'm not used to eating during these times of the day so I feel like I'm always full. On Monday, I start school. I'm so nervous! I know everything will be okay, but I wish I could speak better Japanese. Today, I have to go do something with my passport and medical insurance card. I'm not sure what, but that's what my host Mother told me. Also, I think I get to meet another exchange student from New York. This, I am very excited about. This way, I won't feel completely alone. I always new this would be hard, but I had no idea it would be this hard. I know I can stay strong, but this is definitely going to be the most difficult thing I've ever done.
