OK OK OK --- so I'm going to be very vague on purpose . Its nearly impossible to explain all the things that have happened in my days here ...
I made this blog to share my experiences with the people I love and care for . I get a lot of questions about how is it here , how am I doing , show me pictures , etc . And Id love to do that for everyone but I feel like if I could just have all that information in one place it would make it easier for me to express whats going on . Instead of sending out 7 E-Mails with all the same crap. :) .
I originally arrived here to take a Japanese Language Course at this school here in Tokyo. That is still the plan but my enthusiasm for the subject has declined due to my lack of knowledge of the Japanese Alphabet . Now no one said this was gonna be easy . But Its nearly impossible to learn the material so quickly. The classes are filled with Korean and Chinese students , I'M NOT OVER EXAGGERATING , BUT I'M THE ONLY AMERICAN IN MY CLASS . ONE HISPANIC IN MY CLASS , AND 1 OUT OF 2 PEOPLE WHO ARE ENGLISH SPEAKERS .
Lets get this straight . I know no Japanese . And I mean 0% , nada , zip . Exception are the words like using which are like 8 at tops and I know numbers 1-19 .lol. But its really scary . I wanted to come here more for the culture and the fashion and i mean its freaking Japan , why not?!?!? I did not expect it to be so intense , when I say intense im not joking ( i don't want anyone to think im giving up or giving excuses ) But my textbooks are completely in Japanese and when I don't know the Alphabet its kinda like F-This ....
I dont mean to put my self down ahead of time either but the class seems like its going to move extremely fast . So im probably just going to go at my own pace and give it my all ... but not stress it too much ...
On the other hand, I cant believe Im here . This experience it one of a kind. I wake up and Its like a dream. I feel like Im living in a movie . You don't know how different my life is from this ! Other then being completely independent , Im used to always being in communication with my peoples back at home , but this is beyond ....
I just wish you could be here with me . Experience what Im experiencing . Im a Miami-an . Us Miami-ans are like from another world ! I feel like the refs must feel back in Miami , when they come from Cuba or something , and they know no English . but wait , at least they can get by .
Do you know what it is to look around and not be able to read ANYTHING ! IT FUCKING SUCKS ! I feel like an idiot....
anyways enough negatively. Ive been slacking off happily walking around the city and I went shopping but dont worry Im cheapy but I got some winter clothes because in the rush of things I didnt pack any sweaters and jackets ... ummm .... also that's it I plan to visit Bape in the next week .... tryna do a lil come up ! connects ya naa mean...
well i have to "study " pffff .. sure ...
Im going to start advertising this blog from now on .. LOL . yes I will be annoying people on all social networking sites ... but hey its all love babyyyyy
