Midori, October 1

I cannot beleive it has been more than one month since I came here. Time passes so easily. I finaly got to understand the radio of weather forecast,(because I need to.) but I still find it difficult to understand the native speakers conversation.(The weather here is awful! We have frost the next day I wear sleeveless clothe!!)

I am waking up at 7 o'clock every morning here that you woouldn't believe. It is still dark at 7 in the morning because we are having day-light-saving-time here. How come I can get up without alarm clock!? It is not the me I had known for these several years!!! I still cannot believe myself wake to find myself hungry.... The things are that I have 8 o'clock class every day. (That sucks!!) And I have no other choice but to wake up at 7 and taking shower. I have bunch of homework everyday, I have to read whole Newsweek everyweek, I have to write a jounal everyday. That reminds me the diary we had to keep as homework when we are in primary school...now you may ask me anything about Princess Diana and Mother Teresa. Those are our reading teacher's favorite subjects.

I have just got a package from Mom today. Because I asked Mom to send me some 'seaweed' and winter clothes. I have just finished my period, I really lacking iron. Now I am very happy. I cannot eat anything except 'to-fu' or kind of like that when I am in period. I had such a hard week here, because I couldn't find anything eatable!!! Why they are eating such heavy things with lots of oil, butter, cream, cheese, etc.... Even vegitalian food, they are far from 'healthy'. When I arrived here, I was so surprised to find so many "de bu" here and there. Now I got the reason. The food in here is very good I have to say. How nice it is that I do not have to cook anything! It was found that I could get a lot of Japanese food and Chinese vegetables here. I would glad to cook some Japanese food when I was asked, but I don't feel like cooking it just for me. It is kind of fun to test myself how much I can get along with American food. You know what? I got to be able to claim about spoiled to-fu at the salada bar. That is something I seldom did in Japan where silence is valued the most. But you know, this is the country where noisy(?) wheel can get greese.

I got lots of acne as i left japan because of mental pressure, I guess. Now it is getting better at last. that makes me happy. I can be happy anywhere in the world and enjoy myself, though.

That's all for today.
