This computer is soooo slow, its driving me crazy…  so, I hate to say it but only the important ppl (ie family) will get emails today.

I cant believe this is the first time Ive used the internet since Ive gotten here…  we are trying to get the net in my room, but Im not going to keep my fingers crossed.  I hope I can thou, becuase I can set up my puter as a webfone.  which would be really really nice

So, sendai, well, its been good to me so far.  comming in on the plane was windy, and even thou Ive been on probably thousands of planes, it was pretty damn scairy.  Friday afternoon was spent at my new uni, which by the way is really really pretty, sorting out forms etc.  tomorrow I have to go get my gaijin card and sort out a bank account.  Thank God I brought a bit of money with me, cause Im not going to get any of my scholarship until next month… blah.

The dorm is pretty cool.  Im the only white girl there, so I get a few stares, but everyone is nice. the bathing arrangements are japanese style, so I get to enjoy a bath everynight!  and they provide breakfast and dinner, so I dont need to worry about cooking, except on sundays and pub holidays.  And most importantly everyone speaks to me in japanese.  usually.

I was introduced to a girl living in the same dorm who goes to my university.  shes a first year student, and doesnt know anyone else either, so we spend a bit of time together.  lovely girl!  shes studying languages at uni, but we only speak japanese.  I also have a tutor at uni, but I havent seen her to often.  shes helping me out with paperwork etc.  And I have made a few other friends at uni.  They have invited me to a hanabi party in a couple of weekends.

Speaking of which, the cherry blossoms are just starting to bloom, but its been pretty cold the last few days so i dont think they will start properly until next week.

The uni is really really pretty.  The campus actually has not  only a university, but also a high school, junior high and kindergarten.  Everyone seems to know everyone else. (I hate to say it, but I have been introduced to sooo many ppl that i have no hope of remembering everyone…)  Ill try and take some pictures and put them up soon.  but if all computers are as slow as this one, then there are no hopes….

um, heaps of stuff to say but I cant remember it right now. well then, ja til later!
