Outbound Exchange Student Meeting

I got more paperwork!
 
SO in my university, there are twenty-one students who will be traveling to various countries, and six of those twenty-one are going to Nagoya. The six of us exchanged contact information at the outbound exchange meeting and plan on flying out together (:
 
As time gets closer I get more excited, there is so much to see and do. I have a few fears of course, but nothing too major. The typical fears one would have going to a college in a whole other country, but more than anything I am excited. I get to meet so many new people from so many places.
 
Today I went to get a physical, got an update on my shots (ouch!), and will be waiting to hear information about one of my vaccinations. I was going to turn in the last of my papers, but it was too late in the day. Will be doing that tomorrow though~
 
Right now I have three weeks left in this semester, and they are going by so slowly. I feel like I keep repeating myself and going in circles. I'm so ready to be done with this semester. I have things to look forward to like summer class, a job,  and concerts until closer to August. My mum and I figured that I now have 4 months and 2 weeks to go. Once it gets here I hope it doesn't go by too fast, I keep telling myself to enjoy the excitement of the waiting game but it's hard!
 
I'll try not to update too much ;D

Count Down Intensifies

Two more months... Hello my little Fairy Foxes <3 So a lot has happened the past month, especially this past week. I've had contact from NUFS, the university I will be exchanging to and got official acceptance to their program as well as a scholarship. All that's left is to get my visa! At this point I'm trying to hurry up and finish my summer class and get through work, the day is getting ever closer and now that I've gotten my plane ticket it only feels that more official. By the way, if you are a student or work for a university I highly recommend using sutdentuniverse.com I got my ticket there and let me share a neat little story. Originally I would be saving 300$ JUST buying my tickets from Student Universe, but will a little help from lady luck and the interference of adulting matter (having to call my credit card company to raise my spending limit) I waited just enough time to catch a neat sale saving me another 300$ in the process. The place I will be stay

I'm Going to Japan

Hello all, This is the beginning of a HUGE! adventure. But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Dakota. I was born in America in the state of Georgia in a town that's roughly 1.5-2 hours from a beach. I've never been a huge fan of beaches though, I spend most of my time the past several years inside. My hobbies include making content for YouTube, playing video games, watching YouTube videos and anime, reading books and manga, writing, and listening to music of course. My favorite food is pizza. I'm a pretty picky eater and don't eat much of a variety of foods which is something I hope will change over the next year plus. So recently I was officially accepted into my university’s program to study in Nagoya Japan! I’m super excited and have been filling out ALOT of paperwork. There’s still more to come, many meetings and things to buy such as plane tickets, luggage, appropriate clothing, as well as paying rent and buying food while I’m there school supplies, and

I Am In Japan!

Good evening! It's currently Sunday night and about 10pm at the time I am typing this. The past few days have been a roller coaster, and the only thing on my mind has been trying my best to document it all. I keep getting little snippets of video, I just can't do it all justice. Japan is already a super strange and interesting place. I'm American so everything is always strange but here's a small list of oddities I have noticed over the past two-ish days. -Having to ask for bags at the supermarket -A lot more floor-oriented furniture -Pachinkos -Everyone talks low and quick -There is a remote for my lights (pretty neat) -Crunchyroll is restricted in Japan -Convenient store food is actually pretty amazing Honestly, I woke up feeling terrible. I was sick, homesick, and miserable. But, like all good daughters, I listened to my mommy and talked to some of the people I traveled here with. I was a sobbing puking mess, but it was okay. I'm okay. I'm not going to lie
