Last post?

Who knows - this may be my last post! Dun dun dunnn. Unfortunately I'm on a sucky Mac again and can't upload photos, boo.

I've had an awesome time in Japan. I've never done a study-alone program like this before, never even for summer camp as a kid. But now I realize doing things alone isn't so scary, and it's not hard at all to find friends anywhere. My boyfriend's coming up to Kanazawa the day after tomorrow and after PII we're going to travel over to Tokyo (staying in Asakusa) for about a week. Unfortunately I probably won't have internet access there so you won't hear from me until I get back, August 6.

Anyways I've decided I'm going to break this up into smaller posts of advice for other students thinking about doing the Light Fellowship or going to PII. I've done so much that I can't really summarize it all. But to talk about my week, my host family got me a pressure-point massage (WHOPPEEEE) and I went to my mom's girl scout meeting, which was really cool. We also did last-minute touring of Kanazawa spots I missed, like the Maeda clan cemetary and Daijyouji (or something?) Temple.
