Freedom!!!

Yes that's right. I am currently done with ALL of my finals and papers. It feels so good... but now I want to go out and celebrate... but tomorrow I have to wake up early to go to Enoshima. That's a beach by Kamakura where we are going to celebrate the end of school, and have fireworks and such. It'll be a group of friends and it's going to be SO much fun!!! I can't wait ^__^ Until then.. just packing and relaxing after a nice jog outside :)

Update

Today I again on the host kid's good side :) Also my final for Contemporary Japanese Society went well I think... Just imagine an exam with 60 questions, and each question is worth 2% of your final grade. Talk about scary...

Ok so tonight is going to be a jam packed night of essay writing! WOOO!!!! and then I am DONE~! Muahahahahaha freedom!!!

Eh..

Ok so one final down. One more to go... plus two papers... both of which I haven't started yet...

I'm currently in a blah mood. I had a small mishap with the host kid. She was doing her daily English exercises and asked me for help, which I had no problem with. She is a really smart kid, but when it comes to forming her own sentences... she gives up too quickly. She kind of reminds me of me in my Japanese class. I understand the problem, and I know what to write, but I have so many options of what to say that I just can't decide on one answer. This leads to frustration and resentment to the assignment in front of me. After struggling with the question, I could see the frustration starting to build up on her face. This turned to tears as she thought of just a single question in English that she could write. I knew she knew the meaning because she could say it in Japanese... well this frustration of course lead to tears as she got up and went to the other room. I didn't know what to do so I left too.

This was again replayed to my host mom during our dinner discussion. She was curious as to what happened and we both explained it to her. I'm a little worried for my host kid... she'll soon be moving to an all English speaking country, and I'm afraid there won't be people patient enough to help her. Especially when she doesn't want to try harder. It's difficult to be upset with her though... she's just a kid, and it shouldn't really be my business.

Only THREE more days until I am free from the binds of finals. Then I can relax and enjoy the last bit of Japan before I go home. I MISS MY FAMILY!!!! But I know I'll miss Japan just as much...

Random

If I could have any pet in the world right now, aside from a cat, I would probably get a Fennec Fox. It's random, but they are so adorable!!!! This photo was found online by the way. Also on a total tangent, it is currently insanely windy and I believe may start to thunderstorm... which is totally amazing cause the heat of the day is just unbearable. I just have to survive until Wednesday, and then I'm free!! My brain just gets tired from walking outside... seriously don't want to study right now :P
