Birthday Plans

So I passed out my hand-written cards this morning in the mailboxes. Two people can't come so far, since it's a long weekend some are traveling. But they said they want to do something with me to make it up.

I got my first writing exam back in class today also. I got a 94 on it! That's been about my average this year in all my classes.

I forgot to mention in my last post, but the package I got was perfect. Thank you everyone who participated (mom & dad!) for sending it to me. Getting it was really like Christmas. I have it stored in my closet hidden so I can nibble through it slowly. The white shirt is really cute and everything was just wonderful. It was simple things but it honestly felt like one of the best things I could've ever gotten at that moment.

Mita and her parents also really enjoyed her new cloths, this is her and my host sister Toko:

So yes, really I just wanted to say that it meant a lot to me, and I love you all very much for it. It's hard to describe the emotion from getting it.

I also this weekend took some pictures of the studio when I was practicing and no one else was there. So I wouldn't be a weirdo or using class time.

This is also some of the things I've been working on.

I'll likely post more later!
