kids at my school

Kids at Yotsuba really really confuse me. One moment they will be nice and say "Hi" or wave, but most of the time it seems they dont want to be friends.
I really want to be friends with everyone, but it dosent seem like they are interested. Maybe because most of them have been to america. Its not as interesting to be friends with americans, i dont know........ anyways enough complaining. 
Yotsuba kids!!!! be friends with me!!!! im not trying to be a scary american i cant help it!!!

Im really really happy right now i just got to sit down with my host mom and just hang. I showed her pictures of all my friends in america and vancouver and portland and my parents it made me super happy. I was actually able to communicate with her. every time she would see my friends she would go "KAWAII!!!" and every i stopped on a pic of dad she would go "Emmas otoosan!!!!!!" and same for mom. i just love her :) kinda content right now, but also a little nervous i move to my next host family this weekend. Wish me luck!

School

Ok, so i just finished my first day of full classes. not gonna lie twas a little boring cause i didn't know what was going on so i just kinda studied japanese...but im chillin with some really awesome girls they are super sweet. after my first four classes which are like physics (i miss Mr. Skrutvold compared to japanese physics teachers) english, math, japanese. Then i went to lunch, we had a global studies meeting. Apparently im giving like 2 speeches. Then after lunch it was PE. Now i didn't really know this but apparently in japanese schools everyone boys and girls alike just change into PE clothes in their class room..... it was really awkward, they have it down to a perfected art. Pe i found im pretty good at volleyball who would have known....... then we went back to our class for phys. ed. we learned about the different levels of drinking alcohol (i only know cause my teacher acted it out..it was super funny) and the kid next to me had to share his book he was super nice about it. after that we had a short homeroom then i started biking. to be truthful i had to ask like 3 people for directions cause i got lost so much, but i finally made it home so all is good.
Thanks everyone for an awesome day!!

Mhm...

Ok so Recently ive been getting ready for school and just chillin with my homzies. Today is my last day before school starts. I went to the mall got a couple things saw some bombi'n dancing, and now im home getting my stuff together for school. But I noticed some things about japan that are really funny. Japan is like Portland X5 its really funny. Like the fact that when im walking around the mall I see people that look like they are at least 20 and in a band holding children..... or the fact that if you take Portlands public transport X100 and then you get japan its crazy....
Love y'all wish me luck at school tomorrow,
Yotsuba here comes the Emzi!!!!

Yesterday I have to say was probably the most hip day I've had in Japan. So in the mornin i got up ate a muffin and a peach. then about 11ish Natsuki and me left and went towards her school. We met up with her friend he's pretty rad. Went and got lunch and did purikura. After that we went to go to a concert of the bands that playing the rock n roll club thing at their school. Those awesome japanese kids really know how to roll man. We stayed there for about....... a long time. Then we walked to the train thing and went home. Good day... good day ill post pics in a bit.
