Mainichi - Everyday

This is my house. I life on the top, the area attached to the roof, which makes me very happy.

To update on how my life has been going... I am ridiculously busy. The past two weeks have been midterms in regular classes and Japanese classes. There may be nothing more terrifying than having to speak Japanese and be graded on it. Along with midterms, I also volunteered to participate in the dancing portion of our International Festival (because schools in Japan like to have lots of festivals, actually Japan in general likes having festivals). What this has turned into is me teaching two Japanese girls how to belly dance... not an easy task by any length seeing as they have never danced before, at all. This has, however, spurred me in the good direction of dancing for at least an hour everyday for practice, although I only meet with them about twice a week. Add this to having to travel home and back, and really I have very little time for, oh, anything. I did find time to take some photos of my surroundings on a pretty day though. It is still really warm here, whereas I have heard that Asheville is quite cold. It is both warm and humid here, for some reason the season has been more wet than usual. I got to experience that first hand the other night at a fire festival, but I'll talk about that incredible experience another time.
