The school year so far: September

All right. I'm going to recap the school year starting from September.

In September THS students hosted Japanese High School students for a weekend. The students from the Saitama Prefecture, about an hour away from Tokyo, 44 female students were hosted in pairs with THS students, many of whom take Japanese. I also hosted two Japanese students. I keep in touch with them almost every day via email,Macs FTW, and I consider them to be part of my family now. All of them were able to go to that weeks football game with the host families for free and were allowed to go to the dance f0llowing it. The next night many of the host families met up at Laserport in Beaverton with the Japanese exchange students for a few games of laser tag. It was lots of fun. Sadly the following Monday, they had to leave us and there was many tears in the eyes of all of us. I personally renewed my promise to go to Japan this following summer to include visiting my sisters. I will go to Japan this coming summer.

That was September of the 2007-08 school year.
