Moving in :D

So yesterday, we had to take the dreaded written exam Dx  I did utterly horrible.  I must have looked really sad because one of the other KCJS girls told me to smile...But after we ate lunch, I felt a lot better!  We had to do the interview next.  I had Yamaoka-sensei, who has a girl's first name.  He asked me normal stuff, like to introduce myself.  He asked me when I started dancing because I said I like to dance ballet and jazz.  I messed up such an easy question, but it sounds like other people had it worse!  Some of my classmates said that they like to read, so they were asked about the plot of one of the books that they had read.  I think I'd have trouble explaining something like that in English, too!  and then someone said that she likes tennis, so she was asked to explain how to play tennis.  Who knows that kind of vocabulary??  

Oh, the day before yesterday, we had met some of the Doshisha and Kyodai students who are going to be taking classes with us.  We were split into groups, and my group had two girls who toured us around the school and took us to get our commute passes!  They were so nice and helpful!  I think their names were Ruriko and Yuki?  That day I also met Rosaline and Angela, who are Christians, too!  For dinner, we were split into different groups and we ate at a tonkatsu place.

Last night the whole KCJS group ate at a tabehoudai!  Lots of good food!  Oh, tourist-y moment of the day: marveling at the hard tube inside Sandy's wrapping paper.  The wrapping paper tubes aren't squishy like American ones.  After we went back to the hotel, we waited in a conference room for our host families to pick us up!  The feeling was probably something like kids waiting to get adopted, or like Gio said, puppies at a pound...when the first person was called, I think it was Yaya, everyone went, "Awww!" because her host mom had her super cute baby with her!  Soo cute.  We were all jealous of her because of that host baby.

My host parents did not forget about me.  I had feared that they would because I didn't email them like the other kids.  They have a really nice big house!  With a super cute dog!  So cute!  My room is surprisingly big.  I had imagined a Card Captor Sakura-sized room, not a Kare Kano Souichiro Arima-sized room.  Maybe it's not that big, but it's not as small as I thought it would be.  They have wifi, too!  Surprising because my host parents are in their sixties.  I don't think my grandparents are that technological.  

House tour this morning!  My host mom drew a Buddha, she's really good!  She'll be off to her drawing class soon.  and I should finish unpacking.
