Heyyyy

Hey peopley peaps!
So pretty much im still in japan and thought id update. I bought the kendo outfit and ive decided im gonna continue it in Sydney Uni- its too awesome to quit! This week some more American exchange students came, and the hottest one of them is in my class (yesss) {unnecessary sidenote haha cant be helped} and we talked alot too- the american students have mostly studied japanese for 3 years (a little more than me) but arent the best at communicating and were pretty blown away when i was talking to everyone. I guess, im pretty tough on myself when it comes to learning Japanese because when it comes to expressing my opinions/ what happened i kinda bail out in grammar. Also, you know when you get the vibe that whoever you are talking to suddenley got bored and doesnt wanna listen? Its like, everyone has that vibe but they are clearly interested at the same time, i dunno, so i was pretty hesitant at first cause i didnt wanna be the annoying exchange student who cant speak properly and takes forever to communicate a sentence. But now im like EXPRESS ALL THE OPINIONS and PRACTICE ALL THE GRAMMAR haha
Also im learning alot more here than i did in my actual school-life, seriously. The geography is ACTUALLY geography, so i am interested in it for once. And the biology sensei is AWESOME he has a mad sense of humor and always goes off topic in lessons. And also today, he had a little bout (not argument but exchange of words) with the Brazilian/Japanese girl who is christian....and you know the whole what came first the chicken or the egg, and then catholics are like GOD MADE IT and all haha ahhh. But the awkward thing was she kinda turned to me cause im the only other christian divedend church person (but im seriously more athiest i think, dunno still making decisions) but she was a loner so i kinda took her side. But i gotta be careful because she is exctremely hot, like, she is actually a model. (sometimes goes to model shoots instead of school) And yeah she has a boyfriend but i dont wanna be all 'im trying to steal you.' But i find her boyfriend really hot haha, and yeah i wanna be friends with him and his gang too but its just, like awkward- kinda like how i was with penelope and nat. (nat was mad serious around me before coming out and shiet)
Anyhow, i havent really made any 'after-school-hang-out-friends' because i have kendo after school and the only other members are one 1st year kid and a girl in my grade but i have never seen here before. Im kinda sad about that, i might push a little more to hang out, but the kids i like to hang out with in school leave next month for exchange anyhow so arghh what to do. But im me, so long as thats that i have confidence to make friends- i cant give up yet or else ill be putting my name to shame, right!? Haha
The amount i think about you guys is so much, that i feel like im still in sydney sometimes. I cant wait to see you guys really, but im soaking up my time here as much as possible, after all its almost been 4 months.
Also, i will be switching host families after all next month, i hope i get a cool host family next time, chances are low as i was pretty damn lucky with this one. But if i dont get a host family, i might have to live with a teacher, and this may sounds weird but im really excited if thats the case haha- the teachers are just so cute and their english is all 1960 textbook english, nyaw nyaw ahhhh so cuteifuhweiufhweiu ahah and plus i think if i had that chance, drinking with teachers would be boss haha. I miss alcohol but at the same time i think i shoul-
nope, i really miss alcohol. haha. Im kinda like that drunk character in any cheesy manga, plus i really want to try drunken fist one time- i might be a genius haha who knows.
I must say, slowly being able to speak is an awesome feeling, im so happy that finally i am learning a second language. I cant wait to get even better.! Its like, every human has a spirit within them and how they connect the spirit with their brain to make communication is called a language in my opinion- as long as you are calm and not over thinking everything you can successfully connect your spirit with the persons you are talking to- like, sometimes what i say is just like 'derp derp derp' but the people here are like, 'well hey, your not perfectly fluent, but i get all of waht your saying and thats pretty cool man' and it means alot to achieve that i think. Next is leveling up my spirit and getting all PERFECTS or GODLIKE when it comes to making sentences. Haha, this is just my crazy-game-affected mind talking, but whenever someone talks, i imagine at the end or during a sentence that a green GOOD or like a red BAD comes out, and i think im finally at the GOOD/the occassional golden PERFECT. Also for Australians, japanese pronounciation is awesomelly easy so whenever i speak its kinda misleading, i sound alright, but i cant yet connect everything haha.
Today i rocked up into the Kyudo (way of the bow) club in my kendo (way of the sword) club outfit to see the american exchange students shoot some arrows, and everyone was like, you look SO cool, the clothes suit you so well! And i was like...heh heh heh last time i wore clothes like this i was drunk on happiness at a halloween party eating stake with a fork and no knife....yeaahh you were all thereee haha good times goooood times. (had lotsa practice)
But yeah, kendo is tough, and i think ive gained some muscle from it so thats a plus. I havent lost weight around the belly like i thought i would...yet. Damn japanese are skinny by nature so its kinda embarrassing when we have to change clothes for clubs or sports, but ive gotten used to struttin my stuff by now haha. Proud of the fat yieew.. But on a bad note its really bad how natural it is in countries like Aus and the US see fat around the belly as natural. Like, after being surrounded by a society that all hold perfect bodies is just like.....when did i get this fat?! I think the amount of bad foods/little exercise/constant sitting has finally been noticed by me (sorry for poor grammar) and yeahhhh where am i going with this. Thats another thing, when i talk to people sometimes im just like wtf am i trying to say haha. I dunno japanese is just so opposite to english so there is so much doubt in grammar, but meh im learning.
Aight im pretty tired, i think the combination of suddenly switching between constant japanese to english, and hard effort at kendo is getting to me, ima sleep early.
You all try to get a good sleeping pattern too, and wake up a little earlier if you can ok? Its good for you, the occassional sleep in a nice but addictive yeah? And excercize, go for a walk with a friend or go buy something at the local store. I sound like a healthy fitness advisor haha sorry.
Anyhow, speak to yall soon,
Alex
