Still no pictures.

This, sadly, is the best I could do with my pictures at the moment. These are from a week or two ago so I'm going to start with them and then get into my blog post. I'll start off with the older ones. 

 Misato, Iiris, me, and Giullia getting together for the first time after meeting our host families. 

 Where I spend most of my time, this is where all of my friends hang out. 

And the reason I love Nova Siri so much, the sea. Yes, this is really where I'm living. 

As I said in my last post I had to talk in front of the school. I don't really want to relive the horror of what happened so I will give you the short and sweet explanation. I bombed it. I was a deer in the headlights. It's one of those things I'm going to think about ten years from now and start shaking my head out of embarrassment. Being awkward is a curse. 

I'm also sick. My throat feels like it's being clawed at and I'm just out of it. I dropped a glass yesterday during lunch because I just wasn't all there. I'm not dying or anything, but not being able to fully explain how I'm feeling and what I need to get better sucks. All of my friends at home have no idea how lucky they are and shouldn't take small things like this for granted. 

There have been good things happening as well! My classmates treat me like a normal person and not some foreign object. I still hate sitting in school doing nothing for 5 hours but they make it a little more enjoyable. However, nothing can make History/Philosophy any better. The teacher freaks out and screams at people every class. The worst part though is that she has the most high pitched scream I've ever heard. I swear I hear her yelling "raggaze!" In my sleep. Some of the other teachers are trying to make me learn as well. My teachers back home will be ashamed, but my math teacher gave me some slope equations and then a few other problems to solve and I couldn't get more than halfway through any. I'm terrible at math when it's taught in English and have forgotten a lot. It was so embarrassing. I had to add 16+9 and I wrote that the answer was 15! I swear to god I'm not that stupid, I'm just under a lot of stress! 

The other night I also went and did Zumba with my host sisters. It wasn't as traumatizing as I expected it to be and I deffinetly worked off some of the pasta and bread I've eaten. The only downside is that I still haven't regained full use of my legs. I'm so sore, yet there were women twice my age going harder and I garuntee you they feel 100x better. 

I officially haven't seen my home state of Pennsylvania, my friends, and my family for one month. I can either think of it as 9 more months to go, or my expieriance already being 1/10 over. Both ideas are equally saddening. Things have been slower lately so I don't have much to say. I hope everyone is enjoying my blog, and if you're not, I don't really care. I'm trying to be as honest as possible without hurting any feelings. Ciao!
