This is Only the Beginning...

So... it's Official.

I'M GOING TO JAPAN!!!

The large CAPS are supposed to suggest excitement, which I find hard to do over the Internet, especially for something as cool as this! Mom found money for me to go, and I'm so grateful! Thank God! It's definitely going to be the best summer ever I think. I wanted an adventure so bad, and now I get one!

Well, anyway, this blog is where I'm going to put everything! I'll update about every two days or so. Maye not this coming week, but the next week (after Term Paper Season) I'll begin. I'll be sure to take lots of photos, and tell lots of stories! I can't wait until I get my host family letter! I'm so curious as to who'll they'll be and what they're like! I'm going to make sure I have so much fun! I'm also excited about orientation... there's 90 of us going to Japan, all on one plane!

I decided not to cut my hair after all. That just means I have to avoid summer showers and the beach! That's not so bad, but I wish I didn't... (-__-)

Anyway, that's all I can say. Oh, and in upcoming weeks, I'll be practicing my Japanese on here. It's important that I do!

Wish me Luck!
