Wow, the summer is flying by. I am almost halfway done. Before I know it, I'll be back in New Haven for football. Tokyo has been amazing so far with all the sight seeing, food, etc... I feel like a summer is really too short. I would have applied for a year, but I had football and other commitments back home.

I feel the program is slowly improving, but my classmates and I all still have our gripes. Nothing much to do about that than just focus on how we can make the most of our time left.

Recently a few friends from the states have contacted me that they are coming up to Tokyo, so I'll probably be showing them around or trying new things with them. I am a bit worried these last few weeks will be lived on few hours of sleep. Its hard to juggle everything, especially, trying to work out and stay in shape with everything that's going on. Ahhh commute is killing me LOL. Sorry if everything seems really random with typos and grammar errors. I am taking a break from studying in the wee morning hours.

Things Rewon and I have planned for possible upcoming vlogs: climbing part of Mt. Fuji, experiencing Akihabara (I think the name literally translates to electric city) culture, onsen (bath house), and the Matsuri festival. We are still figuring out a good system to get these vlogs out on a regular basis.

Pictures: celebrated my brothers birthday on the 6th of July. The first picture is from the party. They ordered 7 orders of ribs, we finished it all... pretty quickly I must add. Towards the end of the photos there are a few photos with my host family. The picture of me standing in between two people with their arms around me next to a motorcycle are my host parents, and the picture at the end is with my host sister who lost two teeth today. They've been an amazing host family so far.

Well back to studying.
