winter vacation 2011~2012

My vacation is so far, so good!^^ I came back to Japan for the vacation, and I have been spending so much time with my family and friends! The first thing that made me feel I was "in Japan" after I arrived in my country, was the restroom at Narita airport. When I saw a Japanese-style toilet and a device that sounds like a flush near it, (I don't know how to explain it well in English ^^;) I really felt "in Japan" and I was so happy!!
I suffered from jet lag for a few days.. but now, I'm completely getting along with the transition to Japan time!^^
I had sushi, natto, and my grandmother's miso soup which are my favorite Japanese dishes and_had been missing so much.
I could have some time to be by myself. To read the books that I was hoping to read but had not been able to_because of my busy life during the semester. Also, I have been watching the Japanese sitcom comedy called "Shabekuri 007". It is my favorite TV program and I am watching every single episode that I missed while I was in the US.
Now, I feel like I am the happiest woman in the world~!^^

My vacation is going to be over by the 22nd., and I'm going to go back to the US again. I've recharged my batteries in Japan, so I am going to do my best with my school work next semester, too! It is going to be the last semester in my community college, and I am planning to transfer to a 4-year college after that. This year will be one of the big turning points in my life, so I'm going to get ready for it.

I look forward to seeing my friends back in America.^^  ...Nice to meet you! ...Good luck!! :D
