Also, Kansai Gaidai thought I was a woman at one point

I've tried to keep posts to a minimum until I'm in Japan. Still, once more, minor updates: I'm done with my semester and headed to Japan in exactly a month. I've applied to get a host family and been accepted on that front as well. Who? I won't know until days before.

The day before I left for Japan in High School, I learned that my host family would consist of three sisters, not three brothers. I'm pretty sure I learned that I was going to have host sisters only minutes after my backpack was stolen, though I didn't realize it was gone until I tried to put paperclips in it once I got home. Well, I had left it on the bench in front of the school and someone took it. My fault, but still, an awkward moment for it to happen. It was a damn cool backpack, too.
