The Time Of School Festivals

こんばんは!

So, long time no see! Well, 13 days - guess that isn't that much after all. Nothing super interesting has really happened, unfortunately - but of course, I can't really expect every day to be super amazing or anything haha, but really - I haven't been up to much.
Today I took the wrong bus though, for the first time! Way to go, Erika. I had to walk all the way home from the wrong bus stop, after I nearly died from the shock of taking the wrong bus and didn't know if I would be able to get of or not - thank God I had other than just my pass with me, or else wouldn't have known how to get up - and I mean, I don't speak Japanese THAT well. So that was kind of a shock and it made me realize that I have to be a little less careless and actually look which bus I'm boarding instead of just thinking that it's the right one, because it should be there right now haha. Well, lesson learned!

What I've been doing;

I've been out with Michelle one time, which was super nice and super fast, we just went to buy me some internet to my phone, which I'm super glad I bought - I can actually put my iPhone to use again haha. Then we went to eat some waffles in Sapporo eki, it was super - I swear that I never ate such a good waffle before, so that was good. There was also these weird shadow things that looked like people, it kind of scared me when I first saw it, but after staring at it for a while I just came to love it and honestly, I wanted to steal it home with me haha, but that would be a crime - dammit! While we were talking and stuff, Michelle told me all about her new boyfriend - I promised her not to say anything about him on my blog, since nobody new nothing - but now that they're official, I guess I'm allowed, right? If not - sorry Michelle haha. It was a cute story - which is hers to tell, not mine - but I'm so happy for them, she seems super happy to be with him, even though she has a lot of complaining to do about him, but I guess that's what happens when you find love - you get scared of losing it.
Marina's school festival was pretty nice, not really much to do at a school festival as soon as you've looked the whole thing around, haha. So we just sat down, talked, looked at boys and got some good girls talk. It was super nice! Nothing better than a lot of good girl talk haha, I guess people who are reading that have found out how much of a girl I really am, haha. Also that I say haha waaaay too often!! Gotta stop doing that! But it's better than lol right? Haha. Dammit.... As a complete coincidence this boy who've I talked very little with on mixi (the Japanese version of Facebook) happened to be there at the same time, so we decided to, you know, just say hello - and I can tell you, it wasn't more than the most awkward "Hello" I've ever experienced haha. Marina couldn't stop laughing after, seriously - so that was, well, awkward. But it was also fun to some extent, I mean, it's good to actually talk to new people sometimes!

I also went out with Miwa & Shiori, because Shiori's cousin from Germany was at our school for a day, we didn't do much really, we just ate ice cream, took pruikura and went to the pet store. It was fun though!
My school festival is next week, the 21st of July. I'm actually really looking forward to it, I mean - we don't have things like this back in Denmark. I will be modeling our class t-shirt with Mikko at the opening ceremony, which will be super awkward, because I don't really go good as a model, but for these sweet Japanese girls, I'm apparently really pretty - so thank you girls, but many of you are ten times prettier than me!! Girls problem, right? Haha. Well, I'm still looking forward to it, it'll be super! My class will be a ghost house, and if you know me which I've said WAY too many times in this entry already haha, sorry then you know that I LOVE ghost houses. Even though this is in a classroom and probably won't be so scary and stuff, but still!! It'll be so much fun! I also got Eden to come to my school festival would be awkward if he read this haha to come to my school festival, which I'm super happy for - because, let's just say I showed a picture of him to my friends and they ABSOLUTELY loved him haha. They really can't wait to meet him, so how great is that? I really want the best for them and for him, so maybe it'll turn out as a win/win situation - what do I know? I just know they're really happy for him to come and that makes me super happy - and I would be lying if I said that I didn't want to see how the react when seeing him in real life.

And then there was the sick days - not much to say about them. All that happened was me watching the whole season 1 and most of season 2 of Glee and the movie called "The Help." The Help was a great movie and I can honestly say that I've fallen in love with Glee, just as well as almost everything else I watch - I'm terrible - I like everything too much, it's no good haha, I'm a sucker for series! Now that's out. The cleaning lady made me food the two days I was sick and she took good care of me - so did the family of course, I swear that they took my temperature 2-3 times a day (the sickness started out with a fever). They are so super sweet, how can you not love people who are like that to you?
Oh and we watched Amazing Spiderman!! I will say that I think the name speaks for itself, because it was indeed amazing!! I can't wait to watch Batman as well - I'm sure that'll be awesome as well!! Damn, I love movies way too much - I should get myself a social life haha.

We also got three new exchange students at my school, they'll all stay for about only 20-22 days though. I really am the only one staying for over a whole mont, it seems. They are really sweet though, even though I haven't talked much with them - and I haven't talked with the third one at all yet. We will all go to this tea ceremony thingy next Tuesday though, so I guess I'll get to know them by then, which will be nice. Even though the two girls I've talked with, from France, doesn't speak that much English - so it's going to be a though one. But oh well, we will get through it haha.

The girls in my class also started passing me these super cute notes all the time, all in English - I love it, it's so cute. Then I give them a reply and they come back with a new paper the next day, how cute and old fashioned is that? I love it! Haha.
We've also had some really pretty afternoon skies lately;
And I went out with sweet Misato for some purikura - we wanted to do something together, but didn't really have time for more than just some purikura - so we honestly can't wait till summer vacation, it'll be great!
So that's kind of it, tomorrow I have school. Well not really, I signed up to teach kids English again - at the school - but I'll have to leave earlier, because Misato, Miwa, Hikari & I are going to the Asahigaoka school festival - I can't wait, think it'll be fun, especially to hang with some friends. Well, Ryou also goes to that school, so maybe I'll have some luck, even though I really doubt it and basically already did give up on him - kind of. So I'm glad I'll be going with these sweet girls, because they are great company! It'll be so much fun, I'm sure about that!
The family (host mother and father) also goes to Taiwan tomorrow on a business trip, so it'll only be Sayaka and me until Wednesday, so that'll be fun. Some alone time with Sayaka is always nice!


I also received two packages from Denmark! One from Sofie containing Guldkarameller - and "only" that, well I found out later that tree letters were missing from the package - which makes sense, since it was open at the time I found it. Fun thing is, it haven't been opened in the house and the family says that this never happened before - so they have no idea what to do about it and, well, what can you do? I'm just sad that tree letters are gone. Really wanted to know what they said, you know.
The other one was from lovely grandmother! Just the fact that she send me a package took me by great surprise - I was so happy! The package was containing a dress she bought at Mallorca - which is really pretty, because my grandmother actually knows what I like haha - and a lot of Danish licorice. Which I've actually missed really bad, so thank you so much grandmother!! Made me super happy. Since Japanese people normally doesn't like licorice at all,  then I find it very funny to get them to try it haha. So far, I've actually found people who likes it, amazing! I also things it's wild that you can't get it here - well, not in Sapporo at least - as far as I know, not sure of course - but never seen it before and no one here knows what licorice is - I mean, they doesn't even have a Japanese name for it haha.


Last thing; I REALLY love this song at the moment, it's not the whole one, so I guess I might actually have to buy their album instead of just being on YouTube all the time, but give it a listen if you're up to it!

And;
TO ALL OF YOU IN DENMARK (or anywhere having summer vacation, reading this) HAVE AN AMAZING SUMMER VACATION!!!!!!!!!!

That's all I've got for now! Hope you enjoyed, sorry for the late update - will try to keep it a little more often - and thanks for reading!!
Take care!!
