Toyko gets earthquakes...

... and we get the flu. I'm going to need one of those masks for sure. So stylin' this time of year.

So, sorry about the lapse in updates. Been busy with last-minute things, and then too tired to bother with setting up my laptop to use the internet downstairs. I really appreciated the calls I got, both for my birthday and for Christmas. Love you guys! And I got my presents in the mail: a Green Day CD and a lovely necklace, padded with candy canes and some articles of warm clothing.

Which I need. Because last week...
...
IT SNOWED! During the day, even!

Sorry, no pics just yet. I'm trying to acquire a few from people who have actual cameras. I'm also reluctant to email myself anymore pics via phone because the service charge adds another $30 to my bill, depending on how many I send. :P

And then there was a Christmas Eve party at the dorm. Lots of people. Lots. And really good food too. For the rest of the vacation, I don't really have much planned. Definitely need to get in touch with my host sister so I can give her the muffler I made. I should probably study too.

Happy Holidays, everyone.
