Happy December. One more month before the new year. Today was a fun day. I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep for some reason so I just hope out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. Today breakfast was fish, Tamagoyaki, and lettuce miso soup. Yummy breakfast. I’m going to be honest. I never thought I get to see the day where I wear a uniform. Let alone a Japanese uniform. Good thing it was today because it was comfy. The skirt was flowy and the sewing craftsman was clean.

 On my way to school, I was nervous. I was supposed to write a speech for my introduction assembly. I still did but my Japanese was limited. Also going up in front of 900 hundred people were a lot. Thankful it went well. The principal and staff were really nice. When I went to class, a lot of kids kept saying “かわいい” as they pass by. Some followed me to class to. I didn’t mind it at all. I made sure to say “ありがとうございます” whenever I can.

 My class was 2-1. Durning science I had to introduce myself. It get’s better as you keep introducing yourself. I met a lot of new people. There were two girls I met. One of the girls name was Airi (あいり). She was super nice. I don’t remember the other girl’s name. She was who I spend the most with. She also help me transition some stuff into English. I’m so bad at remembering names. I make sure to ask again tomorrow. If I had to describe each class with two words here are my choices.

 I decide to do club activities today. I choose Wind orchestra. It was fun but hard. You had to blow in a certain way for each instrument. Even though it was hard. It was fun. My favorite instrument was the Tumbo and Saxophone

 After club activities, me and Mr Sadoka-San when to go pick up Mamori-Chan from Kindergarten. She was so happy to see us. After that we got home and wash up. Asaki friends were coming over for dinner so we had to dress casual. Her friends were so nice and fun to hang out with. We made Okonomiyaki together (which was super yummy. Another MVP dish of the day :3 ) and chatted. I show them pictures of what America was like and talk about it. We even ate some snacks. I try this chocolate cover Strawberry candy which made my tongue cold and had a brain freeze. I text “See SOS for my tongue” to everyone which everyone laughed, including me. Sadly our night came to an end when they all went home. We made sure to exchange Instagrams.

 Overall another 10/10 of my book. The Okonomiyaki was so good. I want to make it for my family in America. Tomorrow is another day to make more memories ٩( 'ω' )و. Any way night night. Go Mizuki and An ٩( 'ω' )و

 こんにちは。Another day in Japan has happened and it was kinda an emotional day. Only at the end but I tell you more later. Though I do have a few says for the 11/29 of November as I didn’t write for that day.

 To summarize it, mom drop me off at airport. Cry when she left, met up with Mason and Kaylie. Got through security. Established a sibling dynamic (Mason as oldest , Kailey as the 2nd child, then Me as the youngest. Later established Evelyn as the 3rd child). Got on plane. 10h 55m of travel. Project Sekai movie took about 45 percent of the 10h and 55m. Listen to Fire Dance (VBS) over and over again (Ts was peak). Landed. Got on bus. Traffic. Got to airport. Met up with Evelyn. Barely were on time for boarding. Fly to Kagoshima and finally met Sadoka’s family. That was a mouthful to say but hey. Here is proof of travel effects and Fire Dance

 Anyway back to today. I woke up around 6:13 and couldn’t go back to sleep. Nightmare woke me up. Got dress. Got ready and ate breakfast with Sadoka’s family. Got ready more and head to school. I chatted with a couple of classmates before school started. I also try doing American Math homework though stop because I got bored. Now time for the daily special…… describe each subject with two words

 After school. Me and Mr Sadoka-San went to table tennis club. Both girls and boys. It was SO MUCH fun. My favorite club so far. The people at the girls table tennis club were super good. I hope to meet them again soon. Ms Sadoka-San came and pick me up.

 We went to go pick up Manori-San from kindergarten. She so cute

 Once we got home, I wash myself up and play with Manori-Chan. We got this 1-100 chart and match up the number buttons next to each other. After that hotpot was made and ready. I try a few things today. I try しらたき and ちくわ (Shirataki and Chikuwa). The were good. I forgot today was my last full day with the Sakoka family so when Mr Sadoka-San told me tomorrow plan and how Ms Hamada-San was going to pick me up at school, I started to get teary. I’m really going to miss them. They are so kind and I really felt like a 6th member to the Sadoka’s Family. I hope that if I come to Japan again. I can make plans to see them again. Today I welcome the Sadoka’s family into the Ava family. Even though we not related by blood. They still my family. ありがとうございます　

 Even though it was kinda emotional, I still had fun. To the Sadoka family. Thank you, ありがとうございます
