June 3, 2012 Sunday- Japan

Today I woke up around 10 am Japan time and let’s just say I felt like a real adult! Lol
I got up and toasted me some raisin Danish bread that I bought all on my own yesterday evening at the supermarket called Beisia! My microwave in Japan acts both as a toaster and a microwave! How sick is that? I just put the bread in and push the little red bread icon that reads “to-su-to”トースト (toast) and when I take my bread out it is toasted! I put some jam on it and had a bottle of Aquarius water! Then I decided to do some planning for my trip to the Dominican Republic that I want to take before school starts, the moment I leave Japan. I will share more about that later.
After spending about 3 and a half hours on Students Abolishing Slavery academic year planning, there was a knock on my door. My new friend Scott from Massachusetts wanted to know if I wanted to go exploring. HECK YES! I asked my roommate Addie to go and then we were off! Frannie, Scott, Addie and I went to a nearby Shrine, chilled on a huge rock in the lake, climbed a mountain, and explored a nearby town. To say I had a blast is a huge understatement.

Now I am back in my apartment waiting for the rice to cook so that I can cook my dumplings! After cooking dinner today’s exploring group is going to be reunited so that we can watch a Japanese movie together! 😀 All the other students have been studying all day because we have a Japanese level placement test tomorrow, but because I plan to get placed into the first level Japanese I don’t necessarily need to study. There will be plenty time for that once classes start on Tuesday.
