Day at Home

This is the first time that I've actually been home all day since I arrived here. My host mom has had something planned for me every single day which has been awesome, but it was nice to have a break. I went downstairs to breakfast this morning to find toast smothered with my leftover mango tart filling. lol. It even had the toasted meringue on top.

I spent the day watching J-Dramas! Four episodes of Nodame Catabile, and two episodes of Kurosagi. I'm getting hooked. This is not good.

I also tried to pull out my summer AP homework, but then got frustrated over the thought of spending my precious time in Japan doing American homework. I don't know what to do with it. D: I really shouldn't save it all for when I get back.

For lunch my host mom invited two of her friends over and we had obento delivered. I find it amusing the way she says kawaii ne? (Isn't she adorable?!) to everyone she introduces me to. I had kind of thought that kawaii was just something that younger people said all the time, but no. It's everyone I meet.

Also, my continuous posts about food are probably getting annoying by now, but the obento boxes were so pretty! It was all so visually stunning that I felt guilty eating it. There were dozens of little pieces of tamago, and ebi, and unagi, and tempura, and mochi, and little red fruits that I have never seen before in my life, and dozens of other delicious things that I had never seen before. It was amazing.
