Day 14

Hello everyone! On today’s episode of Marcy’s adventures, I went to school! Today was the last day before final exams so there was lots of studying going on. I didn’t really do much! I have been playing volleyball in gym class and today I hurt my knees 💔. But yeah school was pretty boring. We had a test in history today and thats the picture I have attached. I wrote in kanji and it was super difficult. I was so hungry for lunch, I ate my whole lunch in the first 5 minutes LOL. After school, I walked to the train station with my friends and there was an ice cream vending machine! I treated everyone to ice cream for good luck on exams! Stef invited me for boba so I asked my host mom but she said we were having sukiyaki for dinner. I wasn’t entirely sure what it was so I asked my friend Nanami. She said it was really good and that she hopes I like it. For all the viewers at home, its meat and vegetables cooked in a huge pot in this amazing sauce! Then you dip it in, drumroll please, (🥁🥁🥁🥁) Raw egg!!!! I was really skeptical of eating the raw egg at first but everyone assured me that it was okay. And it was actually so good! The meat was very high quality and was honestly the best I’ve ever had. My host mom’s friend came over and will be spending the next two days with us and she is so cool. She speaks very good english and some spanish. Right now, Im sitting on the couch waiting to play uno with my host mom and her friend so we can determine who will have what seat in the car tomorrow lol. Tomorrow we will take Stef and visit somewhere! Stay tuned to find out where we go! Anyways, goodnight and good morning to everyone!

 Hi! Today was my first full day in Japan! I figured I would update this every night before I go to bed. But I realize it’s like 5 am for you guys lol. Anyways, my first day was awesome! For breakfast we had rice, sunny side up eggs, miso soup, and natto. Natto is a traditional breakfast item and its basically very sticky beans. I didnt really like them but it was okay. I helped clean up and then me and my host dad, kyohei, went exploring the town! He renovates houses so he showed me his current project and another house he did. I may be able to help him paint some of the house! After that we went to a small shop in town to get dango 🍡 and we stopped at a convenience store. It was really cool, they had a lot of things. Then we went home and had some noodles for lunch. At about 1:50, kyohei and I went to catch a bus to the train station. We took the train to togane train station and went to go see my school! I got a uniform for school and toured it. It was a very nice and big school. I

Travel Day

 Hello everyone! This is my first post lol. I’m writing this as I am sitting in the Chicago International Airport waiting for my flight. We left our house at 7:00 AM to catch my 11:50 flight. As we were about 20 minutes away, I learned that the flight got delayed until 3:30 PM. So here I am, in the airport waiting for another 2 hours. TSA was really nerve wrecking to go through alone but I made it! I was sad to say bye to my family but it all turned out okay. I am quite nervous about my flight. It’s 13 hours 😔. However, I think I will be okay. I am excited to land in Japan and meet my host family!  P.S ignore the labels on top until I figure out how to get rid of them lol this airport WiFi kinda sucks

 Hello! Today was ny first day of school! It was very exciting. My host dad drove me to the train station so I could catch a train to Tōgane. I was alone and waiting for the train when a girl came up to me and introduced herself. Turns out she was in my class at school! She introduced me to her friends and boyfriend and we rode the train together. We met up with Stef (the other exchange student at our school) and walked to school together. All of the students are very nice and made me welcome cards! They helped me understand what is happening during class. After school we toured the clubs. I havent decided what clubs to do yet. I was invited to many. I want to join volleyball club, karate, koto, and tea ceremony. Me and Stef went to the train station and met up with some other students. We invited them to go shopping with us. Only two if then could come and it ended up being really fun. We went to a huge mall and shopped! Then we got food at the food court. I had udon with a soft boile
