This will be the last entry before leaving!

I've been very busy with packing and shopping as any day, and am not really sure if I can have some time for sleep tonight! I've already tidied up my room, desk and everything, and I've packed up everything (i hope), but still have to pack some stuff in my bag to bring to the airplane! BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! I've done so many things, but how come there are still so many things to do!?

But at the same time, i am very excited too.
i've been waiting for two years to visit england again, so i am happy. already missing my family though!

Well, today was my last day at the english language school. i feel kind of sad because i'd been there for 3 years or so. never been a regular student, but it was good to have chances to talk about various things with people of various cultrual background. Some people english language schools are generally no use but i don't quite agree because i've learned many things there and i met so many people that i would not meet if i didn't attend it. So, all in all, i very much enjoyed it.

Tomorrow, i'm leaving my home around 1:00pm and am going to stay in Narita for a day. I might fall asleep as soon as i get to the hotel room,possibly.

Now,I'd like to thank people who are reading this in Japan:

Thank you for all your support. All of you have been so nice and I am very grateful to you. I am very fortunate to have you all, and I promise you to make my stay in England as fruitful as possible.
Email me anytime you feel like---I LOVE reading your emails, and I promise you to write back as soon as possible. I hope you all have wonderful time in Japan, and am looking forward to seeing you when I'm back!

And for my host family:

Thank you for letting me stay with you. I am very excited to get to see you finally! I can't imagine what my life in England is like, but I'm looking forward to seeing you on Sunday! I have some pictures to show you as well...!

Now, I'm going to finish this now.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

So many things to do!
Mood:  lazy

Hello!

It's around 9:15p.m. here, so I will be still on the airplane at this time next week! Can't believe it I'm leaving Japan within a week. I'm VERY excited but also am a bit nervous since I will not go back to Japan until Feburary next year! It sounds a long-term stay to me right now, but probably it won't be once I get to live there...I might feel it is even too short!

Anyway, I've got a lot of things to do before I leave. Today I started packing seriously, but really don't know what to bring and what I will need! I'm lucky there is a supermarket around my house, which is open until 11:00 p.m.. Actually, I was working part-time at the shop from February to June. What did I do? I was a cashier! It was really hard to manage my part-time job and study, but I think it was good for me because I learned a bit about "the real world". I was not always happy with dealing with customers, but those experiences taught me how hard it was to work as a cashier...I had never imagined there were so many things to remember, check, write, sort, filling equipments, etc.

Anyway, I have to go back to the room next to mine and do packing again!

Back from a "Computer Sick"!?
Mood:  happy
Topic: General
Hellooo!

Yes, It's been a while since I posted the last entry! I actually felt sick when I was editing images on my computers several days ago, so I didn't really feel like booting my computer again...Anyway, I feel okay now, so I'm typing this!

I took two English lessons at a English language school (which is a company-based). Recently I've been a regular student,unlike before, because I would love to improve/brush up my English before going to the UK, and also, I have 19 more lessons left which I expire in October. Yes, they expire in OCTOBER but I have to finish them within 10 more days because I'M LEAVING!

Then I went to Edo Tokyo Museum, which is located around my uni,and saw an exhibition on Catherine II, the historical Russian Empress. There were a lot of paintings of St.Peterburg, silverware, and even her carriage!! They were really gorgeous,and I enjoyed appreciating them. I always enjoy visiting historical places and exhibitions like this!

Well, my "today" went on more...! I went to a hall for a film preview. The film is called "Two Brothers" (You must have heard of it), and is a story about two brother tigers that were seperated by people. It was very moving, so I liked it. Tomorrow, I'm going to go to another preview, "i, Robot", yes, again, with my sister. Probably I've mentioned in a previous entry, I actually have seen this film about a week ago with my friend at another preview. But since my sister told me I could come with her, so I'm going again! I'm excited...because I LOVE hanging out with my sister!

whew!

Whew...I'm tired! Why? Well, actually, today I've been editing pictures of my holiday in Korea, party with my friends, and those around my town...whole day! I've already uploaded them on the Internet and sent the URL to some of my friends, but there's still a long way to go! I have to send the URL to other friends and also, make English version to share them with my host family and English-speaking friends. I'm a bit tired, but it's indeed fun to do all these stuff,thinking of people who will probably see these pictures.

Well, I have to clean up my room tomorrow...!

Shopping with my mother and my sister
Mood:  chatty
Topic: General
Today, I went shopping with my mother and my sister to buy some clothes for autumn. I was lucky since I found a nice shop with lots of clothes of rare design at a reasonable price:-)! After some hours of shopping, we had lunch at our favourite restaurant,which serves nice Japanese food. Spending a whole day in a shopping mall with my mother and my sister, I became more sure that I will miss them (and my father as well, of course!) when I'm away from them...That would be difficult not to see them everyday, but at the same time, I do think it is going to be a meaningful experience to be in England without them---to become more independent!

Some of my friends have gone to the US this evening for their Study Abroad Programme, and I'm already missing them!lol...Anyway, I really wish them a safe trip and great time there;-)!!!

Just started a blog

Hello, it's Yukiko!

Thank you for viewing my blog,which I just started.
I'm planning to write about anything from daily events to my Study Abroad Programme. I imagine this is going to be more like a journal about how I feel or what I see during the SA Programme, but I don't know yet. In any case, I'd like this to be something fruitful,both in my life and in an academic way.

Anyway, I've got two week or so before I leave Japan...! Yet, I'm going to post some entries soon, so I hope you enjoy it! Also, please feel free to leave any comments when you visit my blog---to communicate with each other---because that's one of the purposes I started this blog!
