It's 3am, and I really don't want to be awake right now. But alas, we're heading to the airport right now. My flight is back to Dallas from San Francisco and then to Japan. The only time I'll be able to type anything from Japan is if I have WiFi. Hopefully the flight will be alright.
I'm now in Japan. My host family gave me a wifi walker they had, which will let me access wifi when I'm out of the house. This way I can email if I get lost. But anyway, the flight. It was long, as expected. In order to avoid jet lag, I stayed up the entire flight of 13 hours. By the time I got to my host family'a house, I had been up for around 24 hours straight. They were presently surprised at the fact that I spoke Japanese, and according to them I speak very well. I am still trying top adapt to this time zone, but it its easier than I thought it would be. However, I am very nervous every time I want to do something, just in case I break some unspoken rule. I am constantly worrying about the balance of not causing trouble and not seeming overly panicky. However, I believe I can adapt to Japan if I keep at it. There are of course many times I don't know the words people are saying, but its all part of the learning process. Now that I have wifi, I'll try and post whenever time permits.

PS: I friended my host mother on Facebook, as well as my host brother. My host mother is probably posting pictures of me there right now.
