50 days

Yes. The title of this post is how many days until I go home.

No, I'm not wishing my time gone..

But reflecting on the time here!

46 days I have lived in Japan.

Wow!

A few days ago, I was in Japan for 40 days.

It made me think that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness for the same amount of time I have been in Japan.

Wow!

Today, I was by myself.

I was supposed to climb a mountain today with a group of people,

but my sickness flared up a few days ago.
So the wise decision was for me to plan on not going.

Which was wise.. it took them 7 hours to climb!

However, I still am a little disappointed I couldn't go.

But clearly I wasn't supposed to go on that trip :]

Another group went to Saku to shop.

I was going to go,

but I felt really sick this morning again.

So I spent the afternoon in my room.

It was relaxing,

which is allowing my body to heal itself.

There will be other trips and fun things to do!

So I'm not that bummed!

I got a package today!
Sunchips, gummy bears, dove chocolate, german chocolate, sprinkles, and something special. It was so sweet and thoughtful! I wasn't expecting it, and it totally made my day! I was inside alone for most of it, so for a package to come....just really made my day amazing.

I rearranged our room.

At home I normally rearrange my room either every month or every other.

You can ask my mom about that, she loves when I do it.
haha.

Anyways.

I made my bottom bunk into a couch,

so I sleep on the top bunk.

Heat rises!

And so do spiders.

Last night, I saw a mammoth black spider.

I grabbed a book and squished it.

This afternoon,

I got my book down,

and noticed a black ball on the corner of it.

Clearly I forgot about the night before.

I picked the black ball up to examine it

(why anybody would do such a thing, is beyond me)

and I almost died.

There in my hand, laid the very deceased mammoth spider.

G-ross.

Hopefully I can go to Tokyo this month to see Amy!
I miss her!

Sorry I haven't been faithful to this blog.

It's been hard the past few weeks.

Not hard as in life at SYME,

but hard as in not enough time to sit down and write.

But I promise to write every day this week.

Okay, well I'm going to go eat some Sprinkles.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Mine was wonderful.

Miss you all!
