I am one big ball of whining and complaining. Apparently it shows, because I got grilled the other day with questions about if I am okay, am I homesick etc. etc. from another girl I am friends with from my Japanese class.
Honestly though, I am feeling a lot better over the last few days because a few things happened:
1. My host parents didn't freak out when I asked to stay at a friend's house since he was having a party for me and it would start kind of late (although since then the party has been canceled. Oh well)
2. After venting to my mom via email about how expensive it was here, how much money I'd been spending, how much money I didn't have... she basically told me to stop stressing out, that she'd put 600 dollars into my bank account, and to keep in contact about how spending money is going and all that.
So, yay for loads of stress taken off my shoulders!
Anyway, Tokyo Cowgirl and I are going to meet tomorrow and eat ramen. How very gaijin of us! That's okay, we both love it, that's all that matters, eh? I'm pretty excited to meet up with her, we've been talking for a few months and she seems like a firecracker. I just wish her and I could have met earlier, would probably mean I'd have had something more to do this weekend than sit on my butt at school on a Saturday! I love Tokyo if only for the pure fact that it's such an international city. Being an exchange student, I've already met so many people from all over the world, and even a lot of people from all over the US.
I think it's pretty damn nifty.

I can't believe I'm just now seeing this! Henceforth you shall be placed in google reader and I will have updates on a blog other than my own!
And, I must say, I have had ramen for bkfast and for lunch and I might be having it for dinner, still as satisfying as it may be, it's nothing compared to the ramen we had on Sunday.
