Since being back in Japan, I feel like I've come home. I seems like the last 7 months in America I've been trying to adjust to a foreign country, even though I doesn't feel that way when I'm home.
People here haven't changed much, of course. Today I got to ride my bicycle around town like the good old days, felt great.
Yesterday was the graduation ceremony. They actually had me in the ceremony as a special guest. I got a ribbon and everything. When the special guests are announed, we get to say a quick "omedetou gozaimasu," and move on. When my name was called, I said "congratulations" everyone gasped and thus the sacred solemnty of the ceremony was disturbed. Heh.
I wanted to talk to more of the students, but the ceremony is so long, and everyone wants to go home, that I didn't get to talk to many of them. It was too bad. I'm going to the school again Monday, but the 3rd years won't be there anymore.
6 more days!
