So, I had my first day of school today. It was a rather eventful day altogether actually, even though school was only a half day. Anyway, heres how it all went:
So, woke up and got all showered and what not. then i headed off to school. when I got to school I met the other girl from Rotary who is at my school. She is from Nebraska and her name is Amber.. So me and her got introduced to all the teachers, and we had to give a short speech in fron of all of them in japanese ( i already had one prepared. Takafumi helped me). So after that I went to my class, and there i gave the same speech. As soon as I walked into class, everyone went crazy. Like, literally, everyone was suuuuupppppppeeeerrrrr excited. So then it was time for their morning service (Im at a christian school). After that, I had to give my speech again to the WHOLE school. All day everyone was saying hi to me and I felt famous. It was wierd. Unfortunately i was not with my cass today because they were all testing. But I did get to hang out with the other Rotary student, and the one other exchange student at Kyoai who is from Denmark, her name is Jo, and she speaks like perfect English. She has been there since April. We all just hng around and talked.
After school Jo came with me to my host moms house, because my host mom is actually her counselor for the exchange program she is here through. So us three went out to eat and had a big lunch. After lunch my host mom thought it was time for me to learn how to use the train, and see more of Maebashi. So my host mom dropped me and Jo off at the train station and we rode it to downtown Maebashi. From there me and Jo went to the mall, which is HUGE! We just chilled there for a while, and then we walked over to this awesome guitar store that has tons of Gibsons and Fenders. After that we went back to the train station and it was time for me to ride the train by myself, since Jo lives in downtown Maebashi, back to the station that is close to my house. So i got my ticket and off I went. I made it back with no problems at all.
Later tonight me and my host mom went somewhere to get flowers (i dont know why) from someone. The persons daughter is a senior at Kyoai, so me, my host mom, the lady, and the ladies daughter that goes to Kyoai all sat around and talked for a while. Apparently everyone thinks im "cool", and that I look like Zac Effron from High School Musical.
So overall, pretty great day. Lookin forward to tomorrow very much
Oh my gosh Josh (or should I say Zac), I absolutely loved reading your posting about your first day of school... by far my favorite (so far). I am literally laughing out loud (no pun intended) right now. Your first day sounds pretty sweet! I'm also glad to hear that you had Takafumi helped you out with your speech. I'm sure you rocked it!!! And funny how you keep finding those guitar stores... coincidence, I think not!!! And you thought it would be a year until you picked up a guitar. I'm sure you're super busy, but when you get a chance you should post some pics of your new room. I can literally say I have the coolest brother in the world!!! Love ya!
