039

Helloooo. Not much to update on but I thought I'd just have a clear slate so I can write about tomorrow's Farewell Meeting/Party that's happening. Woo. I've finished my speech and presentation, let's just hope they go smoothly!

So last weekend we went bowling at Shin-Sapporo (Kaela, Sam, Dakota, Miyu, Rikiya and a bunch of Dakota's school friends), because Dakota dropped the news that he was heading back to America the next day :\ so we all went bowling, then took some Purikura, and went out for dinner at Bikkuri Donkey.

Afterwards, Kaela Rikiya and I headed into Sapporo to play some Pachinko & Slot. I do not understand it at all! It seems like a huge waste of money just to try and get the slim chance of winning a lottery. Kaela and I just put $5 each in and played like one game haha. Too much of a waste, but it was fun watching the other people.
The next day, Sunday, a few of us went to the airport to see Dakota off. His mum is apparently due to have surgery and he wanted to be back in America with her for it. So now that he and Kimber are gone, there are no more American exchange students, and only 5 of us in total now - soon to decrease to just two (Canadian and Finnish) after us Aussies leave. :|


So yeah that's all, really. It's been a pretty normal week at school, there's been a bit of snow although nothing very heavy, and.. yeah. Today at school we went on an excursion to a college specialising in things like Hotel Services, Cabin Attendants, Bridal Registries and stuff. They had mock set-ups, like half a Boeing 767-300 fuselage on the 5th floor haha. It was pretty fun, although learning to be a Japanese flight attendant is HARD!!! Just trying to bow properly takes all this work.

Aaaanyway. Only 2 weeks of school left now, and 4.5 weeks til I head back home :)

  1. Hey Laura...

    I was wondering if there are many people that DON'T make it into the RYE program. Because I'm sure I screwed up my interview and it's been over a week and I still haven't heard about the results.

    I'm just really anxious and nobody from my school applied to RYE so I have nobody to ask about it.

    So are there a lot of people that don't make RYE?

    Btw, I love that photo of those twins. I showed it to my friend and she screamed.

  2. Hey Rika :)

    Well I think it depends on your District. My District let me know the same day if I had gotten in or not, but yours could be different. It also depends how many people went for the interviews - if there are too many people for the available spots, people will get rejected, but if there are enough spots, you should get in. You may just not get first choice though.

    If you still don't hear back from them, call them yourself and ask :)

  3. Thanks for your advice, Laura!

    I just heard back from them today - I got in!
    Don't know where I'll be going yet.

    By the way, I showed my friend that picture of the twins and she got scared :)
