I made it!

Hello from the future everyone! Its Monday and I'm feeling more perky now that I've had a good nights sleep. I've met my temporary roommate for orientation, she is from Hong Kong, and she and I got lost looking for campus this morning. Luckily her friend came and brought us here. The campus seems like it wont be too hard to navigate with a little time. But getting around the neighborhood around it will be a challenge. I'm taking a couple of pictures and will add them to this post soon, but first I have to rectify my power cord situation. Silly me forgot to bring a an adaptor for my three-pronged computer cords. So until I can get one I have to limit my use of them. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. When it does I'll have loads of pictures to share. But everything is good and all my luggage arrived safely. I'm still feeling a little overwhelmed by the whole thing. I keep forgetting that I'm not just on vacation and will have classes and work to do within a week. I hope by then I can at least get to the supermarket and school and back without getting lost. I will skype everyone soon, and for my friends in Japan I will get my cell phone soon hopefully so I can send you messages and such. I've already been trying to speak the language but I'm stumbling all over it, although I'm following speech okay. I spoke my first two sentences completely easily but after that it got harder. But with udon for lunch and some soft serve ice cream which was serve yourself, but not in the way we're used to in america, I'm feeling like I'll adapt alright.
