Sooo.....

ummm...I promised Anne to blog today, but I've forgotten my camera at my homestay family's house... So I'll give a quick rundown of what has happened since my last post.
1) I ended up going to Harajuku and Shibuya with Miki and Karn.
2) Went to Harajuku and Shibuya once again with Kate, Joe, Joe's friend Goran from Vassar on a similar Japanese program, Kate's friend Tomo, and Karn
3) Spent that weekend with Leftkowitz and Matt in their neighborhood which is near mine (there was a homestay family dinner party and then a study group on that Sunday)
4) Found two language exchange partners named Kaori and Yuko.
5) Went to Disney Sea that Wednesday.
6) Went to get my first Japanese encephalitis shot that Friday with my homestay father (apparently you need to at least get 2 for it to be effective) at a Dartmouth recommended hospital in Shinjuku.
7) Went on a class trip to Nikko last weekend and saw Buddhist temples, a waterfall, and got to try out the public bath, which was a little awkward.
8) Got dragged to Odaiba, went on the giant ferris wheel there and had some fun in Sega's Joyopolis (indoor theme park) yesterday.

Ummmm..... I will definitely fill in details in the near future... ;)....but for now I have to get some homework done, study for a test, and get started on a project....

Yeah... those pictures are coming....
