Well, I'm in San Jose now, using the university's computer lab. Some of the people here are really interesting, but I'm having trouble speaking out. I need to get over being shy around new people, or Japan isn't going to be as fun as it could...
The planes were crazy! My first plane was delayed about an hour and a half, so I almost missed my connection in Denver! I literally had to run! Then there was a lot of turbulence as we crossed th Rocky's, but after that the flight went smoothly. I like United Airways waaaaaaaay better then Southwest. Like, no comparison! I got to watch TV on the plane! That was way new.
Now we are staying at San Jose State University (or something like that). The dorms are nice, some people were complaining, but I could really care less. Its a bed, and blankets; it's warm, inside, and they provide us with food.
Worst thing is I'm pretty sure everyone here speaks more Japanese than me. Everyone is saying things, and of course I still don't have the confidence to speak hardly at all. To make things worse, I'm always thinking "nein" instead of "iie" among other things.
Well, I'm going to go now.
Miles, take care of your hand, don't cut it again!
Everyone else, take care! Love you all and I'll try to update soon!!
Amelia
