AFS Farewell Party

こんばんは


Yesterday there was an AFS event, a farewell party for the students who came here last year. I didn't get to talk to them much, but they were, well are, all really sweet and lovely people - so it will definitely be different when they aren't here - in one way or the other. There are three students leaving, Ines, Aliz and Stefan. I wish them all the best in the future, who knows, maybe we'll see each other again someday! I hope they had an amazing and unforgetable year!!


But well, let's start at the morning.
I woke up at four or five, as I think that I've already said, and then I just ate breakfast, took a bath etc. It was nice, I got a LOT of alone time, since I was the only one home most of the morning, everybody left early and would came back after five - which was the time I had to be in Sapporo myself. So that was super nice, everybody needs some time alone in a big house - and if you know me, you know that I LOVE being home alone, no matter where I am in the world. I took the bus near my house to Sumikawa station about 15:36 - it was a little late though and then went to Sumikawa, took the train to Odori and walked, using the underground walkway for once, to get to Sapporo station. While walking in the underground walkway Emma texted me asking if I wanted to meet up before the farewell part, which started at 17 and it was only 16 at the time, so I said yes of course. I walked to meet her and walked the completely wrong way, don't ask me how, but I just walked a weird way, but ended up at Mr. Donut where she was waiting for me. She gave me half a donut, which was really nice since I didn't really eat any lunch - AT ALL. Then we went out and I told her that Marina and Museon already was at the meeting place, so we decided just to head straight there instead of doing all sorts of things. Right in front of Sapporo station these two guys looked at us, and well, I always look people back - straight in the eyes, and then they waved - which isn't really unusual. I waved back and they waved me to come, I just smiled and walked further the other direction with Emma. Then I though to myself, that THAT was a chance I won't get again - so I somehow convinced sweet Emma to walk up to them and talk a little - even though it was in the wrong direction. So we did that and I got to talk with one of the guys a little, (it's funny, whenever I tell Japanese people that my name is Erika, they ask me if I'm half, because it's a common name in Japan - it's a german name though, they just don't know - but I mean really, do I look half? Not the slightest! It happens ALL the time - sorry if I already wrote that haha). But well, this guy seemed nice and I asked for his mail before we walked to far away from the meeting place, I got it and we rushed toward the meeting place. I really think Japan did something to me, I'm apparently not so shy anymore haha, people here don't believe me when I tell them that I actually am a shy person, but maybe it isn't so true anymore. Well, we came to the party where a lot of Japanese speeches was given, tears was shed, bye-bye messages written and so on. It was nice seeing how nice years people apparently had - I mean, everybody was crying and laughing, so yea. I hope I will feel that why by the time I have to go home, even though - I'm pretty sure I will. So we ate dinner there and stuff. Afterwards Eden, Emma, Marina, Museon, Michelle and I went to do purikura - it was super fun and super hot. While the Emma and Michelle edited the pictures, Marian and I tried to get Eden and Museon to talk to some girls who they already said hello to - just hello that is - because I mean, it was fun trying to get them to do it - because it was impossible haha. Don't know why though. After I talked a little with these two girls, who I now know is called Saki and Haruki, they were super nice and they screamed when I called them cute haha. Eden said I should ask them to take purikura with me and I did - with Marina - and I they just screamed again and they screamed almost the whole time during the purikura - NEVER felt that much like a celeb before haha. It was super fun and they were super sweet!

Saki, Haruki, Marina and I - those gilrs were super sweet, but they wrote M and E wrong haha, cute right

Sapporo Station at night!

When I came home the guy who I met the same day called me, we had already been messaging, but I was very surprised that he called me, and we talked for a while. He has a super nice voice and is super sweet actually. We talked for a while, but since I was already talking with Por-chan on skype I asked him to mail with me instead, because I was talking with someone. He asked if it was my boyfriend and I was like, I don't have a boyfriend and that's when Por-chan choose to yell that she is my boyfriend - 4 times - haha damn, at least I don't think he believed her. Well, I hope he didn't. So that was a super nice day!


Today there was school, or not really school, we had to teach kids some English and doing some commercial for the high school - hoping to inspire these cute kids to choose our high school. They were super sweet and it was super fun! So that's just amazing. The whole day I wrote with the guy from yesterday, who told me he does karate - which is cool - and that he's the 3rd best in Japan - which is even cooler haha. So that's nice. I just talked with him for some time again - he is just super sweet, even though I don't understand half he says - he tries and talk English for me to understand better - haha and I just really love his voice, which I probably already said.

Sarah (the teacher) gave me this super cute sticker today! I love Japanese stickers and I love giraffes - so that's just PERFECT!

I also just (not just, maybe an hour ago, or two) ate dinner, which was super nice! So today was great!

It was SO good, in the bowls there is the following;
White; Some kind of soup that taste SUPER good
The middle one; Miso soup
The big one; Rice

I'm off to bed in a minute, because I want to read some Heist Society before going to bed. A super good book by Ally Carter, who I just LOVE! Because my amazing friend from school, Misato, showed her work to me. Misato and I have SO similar taste! It's super nice.


Here's some pictures of the random things that happens at my school;

If you have seen Chihiro and loved it - then you'll love this! Misato (who drew this on Yamade) is REALLY amazing when it comes to drawing, as you can see - this was simply made in two seconds in Math class haha

Goodnight everyone!!


Thanks for reading!
Take care!!!!
