So, what is it like in your town? Is your school co-ed? How did you improve your Japanese over there? What's your daily school day and weekend like? And may I ask about those 'first three months' mentioned in that previous ask? :)
my town is very good :) quite country but its in the middle of honshu so i can basically go anywhere i want (osaka, nagoya, kyoto, nara) in two hours tops. also it takes about 5 hours to get to tokyo so im very happy. my school is all girls :) school day: wake up 6:30, get dressed, eat breakfast, ride my bike 1km to the station, cram into the train, get off about 20 mins later, then i walk 30 mins to school. like i said, i could catch a bus, but i prefer to walk in the cool morning air. plus im tryin to lose weight lol then i get to school at around 8, talk with friends and generally just mess around. then home room til about 8:45, then classes up until 12:40 with 10 minute breaks every 50 minutes. ill give you a run down of my normal class timetable for say.. thursday1st lesson: p.e.2nd lesson: social science 3rd lesson: japanese history4th: private biologylunch until 1:15 cleaning (we actually dont have cleaning on thursdays, but i thought i should include it)5th lesson: math 16th lesson: math A7th lesson; english communication (like math my school has 2 english classes - communication and expression. communication is taught by a japanese teacher and expression by a native english speaker) then homeroom again, then i walk back to the train station and catch the train and get my bike back home. weekends i usually get up at 8 and do some cleaning, sometimes go shopping or play with friends. the first 3 months i did not get on with my first host family, and my host sister would often spread rumors about me behind my back to other students at the school. because she wass in the year above me, i did not interact with thosse students so they believed the bad things about me. she would often blatantly make fun of me at the dinner table, hide my things, stand outside my bedroom door to try and listen into what i was doing, would tell me my japanese was terrible and i should give up and go home, etc. her parents didnt like me either and noone talked to me, so i spent a lot of time in my room which made it worse, but they would only ignore me if i came downstairs so i didnt know what to do. my grandmother at the time was sick with cancer (she passed in july, god rest her soul) and i had a lot of worries about that and i would often try to express that to the family, who told me to get over it and get over my homesickness on my own so i didnt bother them with it. they were not equipped to host a student and i hope they never ever do again.
