Summer Stress

Update: After going through our packets a little more, Desiree and I realized that we weren't being housed in the same dorms :( I blame the scholarships we got. Desiree received that JASSO and her housing information said that she would be housed in someplace called "J-Dream"? I'm disappointed... It would be nice to live in the same dorm as someone I know. But on a good note, I saw that Kaitlin also received the RUI scholarship so I at least know that she'll be there with me :) 

 Argh. Summer Japanese class is intense but I love it. Except that I had a test last week and now I have another one today. Off to Brown to study/take my tests! 

Update!

In less than two months, I will be bound for Japan and starting a pretty sweet adventure. I can't wait :) All the nervous and scared feelings I had have quickly fallen away. I'm still nervous but I'm not as panicked as I was. hehe. I bought my plane ticket last week. On September 19th, 12:50 PM (Chicago time) I will be heading to Tokyo! I'm SUPER happy its a nonstop flight because before my dad was mentioning layovers in Detroit and I really didn't want to do that. Although I don't have anyone to fly with, Desiree was nice enough to decide to wait for me when she gets there. Her flight is only a few hours before mine and her's is direct also so she won't have to wait long. Then we'll go to the dorms together :)

On another good note, Desiree and I received our information packets from Rikkyo today! It sucked that we had to wait through class when we knew it was there but we havet them now and I can't stop reading it. I'm a little intimidated and confused by the some of the rules of my dorm (no playing mahjong, girls and boys can't go into rooms of the opposite sex but have to go to the dining room to chat, I have to fill out a form if I'm going to be out for the night, etc.). It's so weird. Even my Catholic school wasn't this intense. Regardless, I can't wait. Heheheeeheheehehehehehehhehehehehehheheheheheehehe.

I'm so glad that I'm going with all of my friends :) This is going to be the best year of my life!!! Love you all!
