Well, I probably should have updated this quite a while ago. ^-^ Silly me.... so about two days after my last post, I received an email about my permanent host family! So since then, I've emailed them (in my very poor ro-maji). They're really nice! I'm leaving for LA in 6 DAYS!!!!!!!!! I'm actually leaving a day early and staying with my cousin because we have to be there by 2 pm on the 23rd, and so I didn't want to worry about my flight getting in late. Anywho, I'm getting REALLY excited.... wow.... ^-^ WOO!!!! I'm going to be staying in Tokyo. ^-^ I'm not sure if I can post any info/pictures of my host family (AFS rules apparently say that I have to ask first, which makes sense), but I hope they'll say yes, and then I can tell you all about them. I'm going to have a host dad & mom and two sisters, which is great because I've never had a sister. >.< I'm SO psyched!
The other big thing right now is all the talk about swine flu. Once we get to Japan, we're going to be quarantined for a day (which we kind of would have been anyways, for our 2-day orientation) to make sure we're not sick. It makes sense- it's swelled into a panic at my school, and a lot of kids have been out with potential swine flu cases.
On that note, wish me luck on my finals (Thursday and Friday) and on fitting my stuff into a suitcase- and making it under 44 lbs. Shouldn't be too difficult, I hope... ^-^

About Me
- Aira Kay
- ^-^ I can be hyper or decidedly not. I really like to write, and usually can be seen carrying a binder full of my work. My favorite manga is InuYasha, followed by YuYu Hakusho (Sesshomaru's my favorite character, followed by Jin.) I like older music AND newer music, and everything in between. My friend and I started a book club where we read and review books, so if you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them! Um... if I think of anything else that might even be slightly interesting I'll add it. ^-^
