Settling In
Even though I'm begining to miss home more and more, I am continuing to adapt to Japan.
I now know several varieties of Japanese food that are both cheap and tasty. I even know a couple of chains where I can get such food. I've adapted to turning the water off during my showers and using the spray only for rinsing. I am no longer perpetually fearful of getting off at the wrong bus stop or taking the wrong train.
All in all, I'm getting okay at getting around.
Today I stayed after school to study with one of my Japanese classmates. I used his book (because I'm to cheap to use my own) and he benefited from me explaining some of the problems that he wasn't able to solve. I think a mutually beneficial partnership has been formed.

That's great that you're getting more used to it! I'm praying for you :)
I know you have probably posted about this -- but where are you living, and where are you going to school? Both in Tokyo?
As I told you before, I loved Japan, and am always curious as to how it has changed since I was there (many years ago).
That's great that you're now familiar enough not to get lost. We took a tour of Tokyo one time and split up to do our own thing for an hour. I came back to what I thought was our meeting point but saw no one in my group. Needless to say, it was getting into panick mode until I decided to stand on the top of the cross walk and sure enough my group leader found me. Turns out I missed it by one block.
Cool!
