thats right the one who reffers to her self in third person momentarally is going to japan!
there is still a ten precent chance i may not go but with the way things are looking that percent is decreacing as each day is passing. now if you know me to any extent beyond my stories and my drawing you know i have a deep love for japan. an almost infatuation with their acient coulture and their anime. i have done what is it four or five reports on differnt sorts on japan and what nots... and well im going to go to japan the last two weeks of school. *does happy dance* i've already saved up the money (after two years of working my rear off at burger king >< ) and have done minimal fundraising. and i have my pasport and every thing lined up. and as time goes on and the plans are becoming more solid and things are becoming more and more real.
the plans for the trip include flying from my hometown to the capital city of our state over to the capital of japan tokyo and we will be spending a night in a highschool there on mats the next morning we will be paired up with students there to shadow them for the day and we go home with them that night and come back to school for one or two days. from there we move on to a hospise over in... crap i forgot the name of the city but we take a train over there where ever it is spend the night or so and we will continue like that taking the bullet train and spending nights at homestays, hospises and highschools for about two weeks and on the third to last day we are going to find our selves over in a buddist temple to spend a couple nights hang out and pray learn a little of their life style and pretty much just hang out.
and from there we will fly home.
its a group of eight students and two shaparones one male and one female. and so its a small group and stuff and its going to be nice! tehe! im so excited

lol ok ^^
a couple weeks back we had a little scare my dad called up my mom and told her how much was in the bank apparently 2,000 at the time instead of the supposid 2,300 that he had told me a few monthes peviously... so we added up all the money that ive got...
the money from fundraising,
the checks i had yet to put in the bank
and the extra money mom owed me
every thing was fine after that... i would have a little crunch on my spending money but every thing was ok...

i had put down already the $500 insurance polocy mony that the school makes us pay (if we dont use it on the trip we get it back yeay! the money i am probably gonna use to get my drivers licence) in case of medical emergency and other what nots that we may need to take care of while in japan- of course i dont care if i litterally break a leg while im down their i will scrounge up an ace bandage from some where and be in a hell of a lota pain but they arent sending me anywhere... ><


and the one hundred for reserving the ticket... that we cant get back even if we dont go on the trip (but im going so it doesnt matter)

and well my mom spoke with one of the teachers that is taking us and they said that the five hundred was included in the total of $2,500 maximum for this trip... ok every thing is fine and dandy i find out on monday that the $500 is not part of the money included in the funds and so me and my mom freak out all over again sit down and count up the total of every cent i have raked in for this trip (mind you neither of my parents are putting a dime down for me for this trip) including the money mom owes me, my even more recient checks and all the money my dad had given me after pulling all the money out of my account save for like $50 for some reason or another... and totaled it up... with the checks coming in next week and two weeks after that i should have enough but my spending money is probably gonna be only like $300 and thats barely enough to get a yukata (formal kimono)... but oh well... i guess i will have to wait until next time i raise enough money to go to japan to get a yukata.
