It's crazy.

I now only have a week left in U.S.A., in Tennessee, with my American people.

Can you believe it, Miki? No way. But I have to face it.

I'm going crazy.

Some people asked me if I'm happy or sad to go back. The answer is, both of them.

I'm kind of happy to see all my family and friends back in Japan, but I'm sad to leave.

It's such a mixed feeling.

Life is sometimes bittersweet.


My friends and I So right now, I'm busy packing and seeing and calling my friends. I have lots of stuff to take to Japan. But nothing is better than the memories.
Even in a month that I haven't written in this blog, I got a lot to remember. Well, the school ended, and we went to Florida to visit my host mom's parents. It was for about a week. And after that, I had my hair cut and now it's short. I had kept long hair since I was in elementary school, but I think I just needed a little change. Oh, and the fact I could danate my hair to people who have cancer, that pushed me a little. I needed to cut off longer than 10 inches to donate. I don't even know if I like my hair short or not, but it's okay.

And then, my host dad left to Australia for his work. I had to say good-bye to him. Shortly after, we went to Atlanta in Georgea. My host mom had to go there for her work, and my host sister and I went with her. We had stayed there for a week, and just came back three days ago.

Wow, what a busy month...


I am going to leave Tennessee on 24th of this month. I'll fly to New York from Nashville Airport with the other exchange students in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi in my organization. Then we will meet more exchange students going back to their countries from eastern U.S.A. in New York. We are going to stay there for a day. Japanese exchange students are supposed to arrive Narita Airport in Tokyo on 26th. I will meet my Japanese mom there, and fly to Osaka, where my home is, with her.
My home...
