SnOw

When I woke up yesterday I found my car, front yard, bike and everything that the eye can possibly see covered in white crystal! Yes, it snowed! It was amazing (and very very cold). But it was very dangerous driving to school. The roads were slippery, my car was swerving and I was very lucky...let's just put it at that! (Otherwise the boyfriend and concerened family members would be at me for a long time...) School was fun, the kids had a ball playing snowball fights. It was a whole new experience for this city girl, who has never lived in a snowy area.

It's snowing as I type this, very pretty...but am getting a headache and feel like sleeping. Hope I will be able to get home okay.

Just letting you guys know, I have made up my decision (my FINAL decision), I have decided to stay here in Mizukami for another year! Yes, I will be away for two years now, not the expected one. It was a hard choice between going home and staying here, but I weighed out my pros and cons to reach this conclusion. I will be visiting in August, can't wait to see you guys then!
