I cannot believe that it has been almost three months already! There are only five weeks of classes left (out of fifteen) and after that we will do a month long internship right up until we leave. I feel like there is still so much to do and see but I am aware of the reality that I will surely not be able to do and see everything and that's okay. The only travel time we will have is during the Christmas/New Years break perhaps we will make it up to Mount Kurama during that time but I don't know for sure. Anyway, now that Christmas season is upon us we are severely missing home. Thanks to my mom for sending cans of fake snow to add a little seasonal spice to the apartment. I find myself listening to Christmas music daily missing the baking of seasonal sweets, and decorating the tree. I do suppose it is good to be away being that I haven't endured a Christmas yet in which I had given up flour. So I guess being here helps me stick to that. Although I am now determined to invent primal substitutes for my favorite Christmas treats. I do enjoy the questions we get about Christmas..like how we celebrate it. I get the strangest looks when I say we have a Birthday cake for Jesus ;-P. Most people in Japan don't know the holiday as the celebration of the Christ the Savior's birth (heck people in America don't really know it that way either these days...) so it can turn into a pretty interesting conversation.
I don't quite feel like it its my senior year of college and I probably wont until I start back at NCC in the spring for my final term. I feel like I just moved into Rall yesterday and now I will be graduated in about six months and married in about seven! I think I am just about ready for a change though life was starting to get comfortable lol. Yes I have finally uploaded photos onto facebook so if you use it please check them out. Love and Blessings!
