A Crash Course in Japan
No Back Rooms Involved

Ok guys, here’s the deal.

I am a very lazy person, or at least, most of the time I am, and so much stuff has happened in the past two months that I haven’t blogged about, that it would take me a long time to write a lot of it down.

So I’m not going to.

Basically there’s about three things you need to know:

1) I went on a two week winter vacation around Western Honshu which was awesome.

2) I switched host families due to a death in their family, and some weird things popped up which I wrote about earlier.  I’m doing fine and my new host family is awesome.

3) I just went on a trip up to Sapporo for the Yuki Matsuri (snow festival) for two days which was cool, then I went skiing for three days up in a place called Niseko.

I might end up blogging about Niseko since it was awesome and it’s relatively fresh in my mind.  Basically, if you want to know about any of those adventures, just ask me, and I’ll be happy to tell you about them to the best of my ability, because I had a lot of fun on my vacations, and it’s not that I don’t want to tell those stories, I’m just too lazy and I have a lot of work this semester.

I probably won’t be updating that often, if at all, because life is pretty normal now.  I have a life here and I’m thoroughly situated, so there isn’t much for me to write about.  Just remember that if you want to hear about my shenanigans over here, ask me in person, or on IM, and anything you’re curious about, I’ll talk with you about, at length.  Ok, I still have homework to do, so I will say good night here.
