DUN DUN DUN-DUN.

“Pop!”, goes the question.

There are so many emotions involved right now that I don’t really know how to explain how I really am right now. So many things happened, I experienced a lot — discovered and learned so many things, made stupid mistakes, but at the end it made me grew as a person. Or at least, I’d like to think so. I let go of things very important to me, and it wasn’t easy - doing that is never easy - but I made a decision.

I feel very happy to see familiarity - faces, places, things - but there is still this sort of reverse culture shock and comparison which I can’t help but do. I would never see things the same way again, and I can say things won’t be back to ‘normal’ 100%. But I am still very thankful of everything that happened.

My second JTA semester started today - it actually started last Thursday, but I only started today - and I missed seeing and bonding with my JTA block mates who already are very important to me. They’ve been with me during the whole first hell semester, and we’ll be together this time too.

I miss my friends back in Japan so much, and I really do want to see them. My friends and I here keep on talking about our whole JTA experience - and we’ll probably still talk about that until the end of the semester. I can see everyone talking about their experience very excitingly and admiringly, and each one of us, though we experienced different things from the other, understand each other in some way. 

Right now, I want to enjoy my country with people important to me. I just want to have fun with the people I’m with right now, telling each other our adventures back in the countries we studied in, while still maintaining communication with my friends back in Japan.
