(up: Nomi Houdai with friends!)
Anyways the next day (Oct. 5) a bunch of friends and I took the subway to a mall and just wandered around and looked at all the differ
On Oct. 6, I started my classes which are Japanese I, Kanji I, Dynamics of the earth, Japanese culture A, Japanese culture B, Environmental chemistry, Education in Japan, and Japanese business and economy. All the classes are great. Culture A you take field trips all the time. In Culture C I'm learning Aikido, which is a martial arts where you learn to use the attacker's momentum against them. Really cool. The Japanese I class is very fast past but I'm glade because I want to learn as much as possible!

So over the past week I have been attending classes and getting really wet. It rains all the time in Sendai!!! And when it rains it basically rains all day. This whole week there has been rain at some point of the day. I feel like I live in Seattle. lol So
after classes on Oct. 7 Kuzu helped me register my bike. Apparently bikes are treated like cars- you need to have a light, good breaks, and go into check ups. When then got ice cream!!! Ice cream in Japan is sooooo good. I want to eat it everyday! :)
After classes on Oct. 8 a bunch and friends and I ate at a sushi restaurant with convey belts!!! Very fun and the sushi here is to die for. It is also much cheaper then in America.
Later in the evening on Oct. 9 (Thursday) my roommates (7 total) threw a welcome part for Anny (another exchange student from China) and we had Tokoyaki!!!! So delicious! It was pretty cool to get know my roommates better and the funny thing is they all thought I was 22 years old!!!
(Up: roommate party!!)

Dear Samantha,
Been trying to get ahold of you since you left. Couldn't do it until Aunt Janet got here, and now she's typing this for me. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, and I hope your studies are going well.
I hear you have a boyfriend. Let us know his name; tell us about him.
I'll talk to you later, dear.
I love you,
Grandma
