End of my 9month long adventure

So I'm back in America, and I have been here for a week now. I flew in May 27th. It all feels like a dream now, but then when I look at the pictures and get messages from my friends I know it wasnt a dream. Now that I came back nothing at my house has really changed. Sadly enough my parents are still as werid as there are, and the house is the same too. Its cool to hear from other people how proud they are of my year abroad, and are excited to hear about my future plans, but since things havent changed here my parent opinions havent changed. My major,language skills, and career goals are still "this asain thing you do". *Sigh but as soon as I came back im making plans to leave again but this time for good, but I can do my best and reach my goal to live and work in Asia.

Anywho so my last week in Japan.... PIGGY FLU

Basicly my last week at Kansai Gaidai was runied by swine/HI blah blah flu. On monday i went to school and we where all told that school was going to be closed at 1:30pm for a week. Yes a week because of the rapid (200) people who had caught the swine flu. i remember i was in the CIE with D & Hiro and the confusion after they made that anoucement. In the conbini everything was 50% off so everyone rushed to buy things.
In addition to this our closing cerimony was canceled too. Most people where really sad because this ment that we wouldnt recieve our diploma's or get to dress in Kimono's and eat free food at the cerimony. Nooo also this ment that we where told not to go out, and our Japanese friends couldnt visit us cause us foreigners might give the swine flu to the Japanese. >.<

A couple days I stayed inside with nothign much to do except papers. Other days I went to visit Justin at his house and just chilled out, either going out to get food with people or watching Drama's with D.
Karaoke places where also off limits to everyone because of the swine flu. Ill never forget Karls message on everyone that RING our normal Karaoke Spot didn't want anyone from the seminar house (foreigners) to come to their establishment for fear of the swine flu.

At the end of the zommbie swine flu week, I planned a bowling outing at Makino. Sadly enough it was one of the last time I got to hang out with alot of people before I left. I thought it would just be me and Tomo's two friends but actually yuka, tiff, hiro, karl, and alot of other people came.
