6 months... Gone?
So my half way point is coming up in a couple days and so much has happened since I last updated! Next Saturday, I'm moving to my next family and it's crazy to think that I'm already moving again! It turns out my next family is going to be having a baby so I can only stay there for one month, but I'm still really excited! Two boys from Australia came a few weeks ago and they're both awesome! Alicia and I went to one of their houses for the weekend and it was so much fun! I went on my school ski trip and it was very... Interesting. The snow, mountain, and weather was amazing! However, we had to stay in the same group the ENTIRE time we were skiing and everyone had different levels of skiing ability. One girl in my group had to walk down the mountain four separate times. The one good think that came out of this was that I had to be a translator! A girl in my group had one of her ski bindings fall off and some Australians came and helped her! She was scared and didn't know what to do so I translated everything! Everything turned out fine and we were back on our merry way. On Saturday, my family and I went to the snow festival and it was AMAZING. I had the opportunity to go and watch them build the sculptures so it was really cool to see the final product. They had all sorts of lights to color the snow and ice and it looked absolutely gorgeous. There were so many people and so it was really crazy getting around the city. After that, we went to tempura and it was delicious! Yesterday, Alicia and I went shopping and I got a shirt and dress for super cheap! For some reason, everything's on super sale and so it was a good day to go shopping. I loved yesterday because while I was on the subway, a old women next to me asked me if my hands were cold and gave me a hand warmer! We talked the entire time I was on the subway and it made me feel really good because she talked really fast but I understood everything she said. She also said my Japanese was really good which made me so happy! Today I got some photos developed and they turned out really cool! So that's what I have to say for now. Love and miss all of you! Also, I just wanted to say that I'm soooooooooooo excited for Corinne to come! Can't wait to see you, Corndog. Okay, I'm done. Bye!
