I was getting sick of the other layout, and only reverted to using it because the dates got screwed up on the other layout.  So this is my replacement, I hope you all like it.  And yes…I will *always* use a green/plant theme.  I did choose BonsaiBlog to be the name, after all, and green is my favorite color.  I also like plants.  (No real interest in gardening however)

So anyways, two new foreign students are at the school now!  They’re both Americans, and they’ll only be staying for 3 weeks, just until July 5th at my school.  They both seem really cool and I like them.  The guy is from Hawaii and 3/4 Japanese, while the girl is from Virginia.  Yeah, it’s really cool.

Today in ESS Yukari asked me if I wanted a Reeses candy (she brought it back from America) and I was like ‘YES YES YES!’.  Then the Hawaiian guy is like ‘What’s the big deal?’.  To everyone, once you’re in a different country for 9 months…candy will matter.  I haven’t had one of those in at least half a year and I really wanted it.  You can’t grasp the concept of being away from your favorite foods for so long unless you’ve actually done it.  Don’t take things for granted!

And the play’s shaping up pretty well, luckily.  Not a huge update today, but the new foreigners deserved a mention.  Since they’re so cool.
