I think I am updating my blog, but since I don't read Japanese....who knows!
I have arrived safe and sound (fairly). I almost missed my flight in Honolulu (they rushed me off the plane and I ran through the airport to the gate where my last flight was waiting for me). I was the ONLY American on the plane...Besides being stared at the whole time, I was feeling sick, the stewardess told me my luggage didn't make it (I found out later it did!), and my buttocks is so numb I don't want to sit for the rest of my life. But alas, I arrived. The airport was humid, but relatively simple to get in and out of, and I was greeted by 4 students and Jill and James (her very friendly 8-year-old son), and the head of my department---with a giant welcome sign and flowers. :) Tomorrow the girls are coming over at 2pm and taking me around town and campus.
The apartment is old and small, but cute nonetheless...I think once I organize it a little and unpack, it will feel more like a home. But for now, I am going to sleep...it is about 11pm here, but 10am at home and I have been up since 7am at home....er....for a long time. I will be more reflective when I can think again.

I can't believe you're there already. As I'm sure you've been told a million times, it's going to be a hard but awesome year. You'll grow a lot and have such unique experiences. I brag about you all the time, and I hope it's cool that I still refer to you as my roommate. Love you and I'll be praying.
Hope all is well C-Quinn. I'm just a Skype call away ;-)
love you.
and can't wait to talk to you and hear about your apt (and see it... you can show me w/ the webcam) and hear how things go today (I believe it's Monday there... crazy).
Glad to hear you made it safely, minus the numb butt! The girls that came here had a great time this weekend. Have a great time over there it looks wonderful!
Blessings.
