∘°∘♡∘°∘day 1∘°∘♡∘°∘ I started on my journey at around 9:30 and after cars and planes and busses I found myself at Disney at around 1:00. The people I went with had an event to attend so I was able to spend like 4 hours reading under the cherry blossoms! It was so awesome! The cherry blossoms really were sooo pretty :) I will say I will was a little annoyed when the people I went with didn't come t... » Continue Reading
I've had a cold for about a week and I've lost my voice a little bit and I'm going to Tokyo so I don't really want to be sick :( My host family said I should go to the doctors so I did. At first we went to the highschooler/adult doctors office but they said, even though I'm a senior in like 2 weeks, that since I'm 15 I had to go to the kids office. At the kids office we filled out the form, took m... » Continue Reading
I saw my dad for the first time in about 8 months! So that was pretty exciting we went to this town about 2 hours away from where I live. It was a place called Noboribetsu with one of those history villages! Which was just a blast! It even had haunted houses. I will say it was a touristy spot so it was kind of expensive but oh well. What made it even better was I went about 2 years ago so I took p... » Continue Reading

I'm staying with a host family in Japan and some of the things they do really confuse me. For example they use just an insane amount of plastic everyday. None of them really like cooking which is fine but it means we mostly eat microwaved food. I don't think that would be weird on its own but they wrap everything in plastic wrap before microwaving it?? I was always told you should avoid heating up... » Continue Reading
Chat gpt, as I'm sure everyone is well aware, has gotten very popular. So many of the kids in my class don't even do their work and then just use chat gpt instead. It makes me so sad to see :( like humans for thousands of years have been being creative and now people have started leaving this thing that is so central to our humanity up to a chat bot. I don't want to make it sound like it's just th... » Continue Reading
I know that probably the biggest reason I have no real irl friends that I can hang out with is because I am absolutely terrified of text conversations, just thinking about having to respond to a message about making plans makes me panic. I always feel like I'll sound like clingy or weird and the other person will screenshot it and send it around to a bunch of group chats to laugh at me. I know th... » Continue Reading
I feel like I spend so much time consuming media on the internet and it really makes me feel like I want to too. I journal a lot and really like writing about how I'm feeling and stuff so I like trying to write blogs like this but I always end up getting embarrassed and deleting them. I have a goal for myself that I want to try and post a video on youtube before I graduate high school. I feel like... » Continue Reading
Yesterday I cried 3 times... the first time was because of the obviously horrible political state of America. The second time was because I fell down skiing, my leg was in a weird position and I couldn't stand up/take off my ski. Mind you I hate skiing so just being there wasn't very fun. I think the arguably the unluckiest part of my whole day was that I literally got drenched when a car pasted ... » Continue Reading
At the change of the semester a guy named we're going to call J joined my band class. He seemed cool enough, not good at the clarinet but nice and willing to learn which is all that really maters. I thought about inviting him to hang out with me at lunch but he seemed to have some other friend he sat with already, and the people I sit with aren't always exited to see new faces, so I didn't. About ... » Continue Reading
Recently a teacher from my school was fired, let me tell you the story. *Just to note most people were misgendering them constantly so just know that I will be using they/them for them even when saying what others said because I think any less would be wrong.* Their name is Mx Fletcher, they were a nonbinary high school teacher in the red state that I live in. I never had a class with because the... » Continue Reading
