Oooh Turkey! That sounds really fun. I've never been anywhere like that or even left this country, I've only been to other states. I'd love to go to somewhere like that in the future though. San Francisco didn't end up happening because there were some family issues that my friend had there and it would've been awkward so we postponed our trip until next summer. Yeah, the way visitors view a place is usually a lot different than the way people who live there view it. I'm sure it's the same for where you live! I've been good, just really really busy because I do a few volunteering things and school has started back up, plus I've had lots of things with friends! I'm REALLY excited for fall :D

Oh that's okay! I haven't been getting on much either, I've been really busy. Yay summer! And I bet you're so happy that all of your exams are done. Exams suck! Thanks for the birthday wishes :D I got a few dresses and a new purse from my family and the rest they gave me as money to help pay for a plane ticket to San Francisco. That's not 100% yet but I'm really hoping it'll happen! And I got a few smaller things from some friends. It was nice, really relaxing. I baked and relaxed all day since I celebrated it the day before. Well I don't usually like the people from Florida, and I've just had some bad experiences there. Plus people from Florida tend to do stupid things and end up on the news. And you're welcome, although the advice wasn't all that great haha. I'm not very good at giving advice! And how have you been the past month?

That's okay! I've been doing that a lot lately, forgetting to reply for a long while! I have a nice film camera but I don't use it much, I love it and the photos are great but film is so inconvenient. Which is a shame, I think film photography turns out better than digital. But my dad has some great DSLR ones that I steal a lot :) I'm 19, but my birthday is in 8 days, so then I'll be 20! It's exciting but I'm still not feeling that much excitement. Just a lot of shit has been going on recently. Oh well, at least it's summer. I can relax! That is a good learning style! I think it's best when the teachers and students are able to work together. The voice is definitely the most important part. But some accents are just so bad that the voice doesn't matter - like southern accents haha. I hate those. I don't like Florida at all :( and hmmm, exercise.. well I can't really help you with specific areas, I just do one thing like swimming or running that helps everything. You could google it!

I think the camera is okay, it's not great but it's good for quick shots! I'm used to really nice cameras, my dad and I both really love photography and he has some really expensive nice cameras and I use those a lot, so there's definitely no comparison between those and the iPod! I called her a bitch because she was a bitch! Haha. I don't remember everything exactly, it was 7 years ago! But I do remember that she was a bitch. Well just condescending in the way that they don't view us as actual people whose opinions are worth anything and they talk down to us like we're just stupid children. I cannot stand it. Well that's the same in America - our accents aren't that exciting but some Americans have lovely voices. But down south the accent is horrible in my opinion. Well I don't love exercise, but it's good for me and all of that so I figure I might as well do it, you know? I'll go back to swimming eventually but I needed a break!

Well my old iPod touch was that way, no camera! But I am soooo glad I got this. The camera is so nice to have. I use it all the time! I don't have an iPhone, I have a really annoying Android. I wish I had an iPhone, they are so great. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean! Just because we're younger doesn't mean we are stupid and don't know anything. That's such an ignorant to think but adults won't admit that they are. And haha oh my god, when I was younger I called my Latin teacher a bitch and got an in school suspension and I am actually really proud of it! But it will be a little better in college. I mean the older adults are still condescending, but it is better. It would be really refreshing to be able to live that way! Maybe someday I can. Probably not though! Well but you guys have the amazing accents so it is great! Well I am a pretty dedicated swimmer, I swim a lot and so that's kept me in good shape. But I'm getting tired of how repetitive it is, I'm switching to running!

Oh I've got the 4th generation iPod touch, I didn't want to spend a ton more for the newest one. And I'm perfectly okay with what I've got! Oh my god yes, it's great to be treated like an adult. I've always been mature for my age and when I was in high school I hated being treated like I was so young. It was frustrating. So being treated like an adult and having my opinions actually valued is great. It's true, it's so great to see these people who are so happy and content with almost nothing, because they don't have to worry about stuff and wanting more stuff and can live simply. Sometimes I wish I could be that way. Well I'm actually not sure what British shows are on Netflix besides Doctor Who, Sherlock and Downton Abbey. Those are the only ones I watch but I know there are more, my sister is obsesses with British people haha and watches a lot of stuff with them. And yes, keeping busy is good, I've started running 3 or so miles every day and it has really helped clear my mind.

It's okaaaay, don't worry at all! Yeah, I needed a change. It is me, thanks! I got a new iPod recently and I've been spending a lot of time taking selfies because I'd never been able to before haha. Yep yep, as stressful as college can be, it's much much better than high school or middle school or anything! Plus you're an adult so it's just that much better. Oh I know - I think at times my parents do spoil me but I always make sure to thank them and I know that I'm lucky to have what I have when so many people have nothing at all. Yeah, there are a lot of American shows on Netflix, but there are a number of British shows as well! And I definitely get being hesitant about what you buy online. It sucks, a lot, but I'm trying really hard to stay busy so I don't think about the pain as much. Thinking is bad right now! And thank you, that really does mean a lot :) I don't need anything right now but if I ever need to talk I'll let you know.

Oh that's okay! I tend to reply late too so that's perfectly fine. I want to be completely done with school! I mean college is better than high school, more relaxed and everything, but still stressful! I have a number of friends who are completely spoiled and it drives me insane! I wish they'd learn to appreciate what they have before something happens and they lose it! A wake up call is what they need for sure. I definitely recommend getting Netflix, it doesn't have EVERYTHING of course but it's nice for lazy nights in. (plus I my heart was broken just last night and Netflix is quite good for mood boosting, as I have discovered personally)

Oh, life is pretty insane right now. I just want summer. Actually no, I just want to be done with everything school related! Oh I agree, we have much better tastes in everything :) I mean guys are just so boring and gross haha. It is nice to realize what you have, I know so many people that are spoiled and they aren't appreciative at all and it drives me insane! They don't realize how lucky they are! I would seriously suggest getting Netflix, it's absolutely amazing! Well the shows I love on there are the more serious ones, like Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Skins, and The Walking Dead, but I definitely recommend all of those!

Oh that's okay! Life is hectic isn't it? I'm having a bit of a break now too which is really nice but I have some really big tests in a couple months that will suck! I still have work for school of course but nothing too big. It's true, most of us are pretty different from guys and so it does only make sense for there to be differences in what we love! Yep, I'm decently spoiled but I know I'm very lucky and I make see to always show people how grateful I am, I don't want to take things for granted! Well I recently got Netflix and so I've been spending a lot of time watching that :) it is pretty great!

Yep, see, I haven't been on here in over a week. Things have been hectic lately! Yeah I don't want to think about the next round of finals. I have a few months so it's okay. It is entertaining how into sports guys are! I don't get it, but it's nice that they have things they are passionate about. I do love Christmas :) getting stuff is always funnnnnn. I'm spoiled to haha. So what have you been up to?

Oh well I'm responding even later! I've been busy, sorry! Oh congratulations on the exams! Aren't you glad they're over? I did surprisingly well on mine and got all As and Bs on them, somehow! Hahaha yep, sports + men = loud and drunk. It's really entertaining actually, since they're always yelling at the TV and everything like the people can hear them. I did have a nice Christmas! I got some nice stuff, like sweaters and music and movies and books and stuff, ?and had a nice day with family. What about you? Oh well I'm even later but happy new year to you too! :)

Yeah, but unfortunately people everywhere are disrespectful! It's just how people are. Oh how did you do on the exams? I still have the table but I have other stuff on it that I have nowhere else to put so I couldn't just move it. Oh I'd imagine the pubs are full of drunk people on Fridays and Saturdays! That is how all of the sports bars here are, when there are games on lots of people will go there and drink a ton. Well thank you, I hope my Christmas is good too! We will see. Hahaha yeah I know Christmas is supposed to be about giving and not wanting anything in return but I love getting presents! But giving is certainly nice too.

Well I suppose it is sad that people don't know much about patron saints when they have holidays celebrating, but I think that's normal nowadays. People just kind of take holidays and everything for granted! Thanks! I hope you did well on your exams :) Well I don't really have anywhere to put it now, because I have a little table where I used to have the tree and so I don't think I'd have anywhere to put a tree! It would be really nice to have one though. Oh yay! These last few months will probably go really quickly for you, that's how it always goes. It'll be over before you know it! I hope you do well on your English test! And I'd bet that English pubs are the best, I mean how could they not be? It seems like they'd be so happy and cozy! Ahh well that sounds like a pretty good Christmas! Hopefully everything else you get is good too :) I have bought presents for other people, and I've spent like $100 so far but I'm nowhere near done. Christmas bleeds me dry too, it sucks!

I honestly know pretty much nothing about patron saints! They aren't talked about much in America, or at least where I'm from and on the national scale. I have a couple exams this week and two Monday and Tuesday of next week and then I'm done! Pretty excited. People in high school can suck, but at least you're almost done :) I'm sure you'll get in to the school and everything will be great! I used to have a little mini tree for my room but it broke a while ago. So now we just have the big tree downstairs in the living room. It's pretty nice, I love when the house is decorated for Christmas! And it is coming so fast, it's only two weeks away, can you believe that? I can't! Oh going to a pub on Christmas sounds like it would be so fun! I wish there were cute little English pubs here. We have some rip-off ones but they're nothing special. I honestly don't even know what I want! Whatever I get will be a surprise. What about you?

Oh it is definitely something worth experiencing! I mean it's just a day of food and being with family and playing games and stuff like that! No hard work or pressure or anything. I have finals next week and the week after and I'm going to die! Definitely check it out, it's amazing :) I enjoyed highschool and all, it wasn't too bad and I loved seeing the people, but it was a lot worse than college. College is a bit more work but there are fewer classes and you have some days off which is nice. Good luck with getting into the college you want! Oh it's never too early for Christmas! I don't have anything too exciting, after opening presents in the morning my family always goes to my grandma's house later in the day and we'll eat a big meal and open presents and play games and such. What about you? And hey, that's perfectly okay! I sometimes take forever to reply too (like now) so I totally get it.

Yeah I am also sure that when the time arrives I will have had the opportunity to ask people some questions. So that will be ok. And yeah, if it is your dream to go to Japan, you should really realize that, goals are there to be achieved and if you miss out on the opportunity, I think you will regret it, that is why I really want to do it too. If I do not go, I will maybe never have that kind of opportunity again. Easy choice for me haha.

I can't even imagine not having Thanksgiving, it's such a great holiday! You're making me happy that I've never had mock exams. They sound horrible! Well tests in general are, and I have plenty of those, so yeah. Hmmm.. I've always been bad at recommendations! I'd say.. check out Sufjan Stevens' Illinois album! A lot of people I've shown it to have absolutely loved it no matter what music they listen to. After a couple of listens you realize it's pretty much perfect. So do you guys overall have fewer days off than us then? It sure seems like it. Well making friends is different in college because you're not around the same people for hours every day, but yeah you certainly do make new friends and your social groups usually expand. The past year I've made so many different types of friends through classes and parties and other friends that I normally wouldn't have met! I'm sure you'll get accepted! And yeah, it's better in pretty much every way.

Heh, and what about "The 2nd Law"? Do you like it?) Mmm... my first song was Sunburn and it didn't impress me =\ But then I heard Starlight and my heart was captured by Matt's voice, the sound of Chris's bass guitar and by the rhythm of the Dominic's drums ^_^

Yes yes, I'm very glad that college is lightening up a bit! And then Thanksgiving break is next weak so I'll have 5 days off. So pumped. Exams such though, don't they? Hmm.. suggestions aren't easy when I don't have much in common with someone! I'm not sure what of my music you'd like! What exactly are you looking for? Oh 6 weeks isn't enough at all! I need at least two months off. 2 weeks is a good amount for winter break though. That's what it always was for me up until I graduated from high school. Well I'm glad that you liked it! I remember being so scared and intimidated by college at first but it really is pretty fun at times. Better than high school for sure!

Hmm, a little bit. I read about some experiences by other people but I haven't got the chance yet to ask my own questions to someone who has been there. So now I'm looking for someone who can answer my remaining questions. Pretty hard find as like no one I know has even considered to go on an foreign exchange. You said you have a Japanese tutor so I assume you already talked about Japan a lot?

Oh that's okay! It's all good now, the past week was pretty good. Oh exams? We usually just have those twice a year, like at the end of each semester, and just lots of tests throughout the year. Hmm, what kind of suggestions do you mean? Like what genres of music? Yeah it takes me about 45 minutes to get ready (makeup, picking out outfits, etc.) Oh but America is famous for having the fewest actual holidays where people get off of work and school! I mean we really only have a few. I'm not actually sure when Christmas break starts, I think I have exams like the week of the 15th of December maybe and it lasts until like the 10th of January.

Survival is my main goal right now! I'm trying my hardest to not have a heart attack from this stress. I will! I've been soooo busy lately I haven't had much time for music but probably this weekend! I have a lot of other suggestions to check out so I'll add that to the list. Well trying your hardest is definitely the most important thing. That might sound cheesy but it's true. Oh yay for a break! You're already 6 days in though, wow I haven't been on here in forever. Oh yeah, I mean as annoying as it is to have to work to make sure everything I wear is okay and that I don't repeat outfits and such, it's really nice to be able to wear what I want, because clothes are a really good way of showing your personality. Oh that's no good! I hate when shoes break. And it does suck majorly that you don't have Thanksgiving, but I'm sure you have plenty of holidays we don't. Yess I need a break! And I can't wait for the holidays!

Yes I hope it is going to be great, still far away though. More than 2 years. But I believe that a lot of Universities will give that opportunity so that's going to be alright. And yes it's going to be pretty expensive haha. I think I have to collect a few thousand euros if I wanna have a comfortable stay there, but it's worth it. I'm sure of that.

I knoww, it's getting so stressful! I sometimes feel like I just can't handle it at all (especially last week, it was soo shitty). Oh I agree, I hate fights but a mild disagreement every once in a while is fine, and can be entertaining at times. Oh I will definitely check that album out! I'm certain that I'll love it. Oh I'm definitely going to keep struggling away, because I always try really hard. It sucks sometimes but in the end it's worth it because I always get good grades on everything. Oooh 11 days off? Ahh yes, being able to dress how you want is great! It can be annoying though, having to find an outfit to wear every day. But it's worth it. Oh wow it's getting stricter? That's ridiculous! I have Thanksgiving Break in a couple of weeks and I have a a 5 day weekend for that, which will be greeeaat! And then winter break in December. I'm not actually sure how long that is, but I'd guess like 3 weeks. I'm so excited :)

I want to go on an exchange in 2015. This is possible because my current University has a sort of an alliance with a lot of other Universities in the world and one in Tokyo is one of them. So I would like to go on an exchange there in a few years and learn a lot about the culture and to see how it is to live in a completely different culture than here while I can keep following courses I would normally do here at home. I mean, I get the opportunity to go to a different country so I definitely want to take that with both hands.

I tried all the things you recommended and I was pretty surprised I must say. I didn't have any knowledge about JPop at all. I expected music similar to KPop but the things you recommended were more Rock-ishy. Although I liked some of them, I think I like Kpop just a little bit more. The bass in the beats, catchy hooks. Oh and what you said about the girls in JPop acting too cute (Kawaii I think they call it, I want to study in Japan for sixth months in 2015 so I already learned some things about the culture), I saw some of them and yeah I think that's really creepy. Like girls who are 20 or something but act like they are 12, creepy.

Oh hey that's fine! I've been super busy lately with school so I haven't been on much either. Exactly! If everyone liked the same things then sure, maybe people wouldn't fight about their opinions quite as much but everything would be so booooring. They really are brilliant! I haven't heard their new album though. Oh gosh I think I would faint in 50-60 degree celsius weather. Oh I have been working pretty hard, and I know when school is all done ill be glad that I have been but right now it sucks. Oh you are busy! Don't worry, I rant on and on about things like that sometimes. It's understandable, life is just so crazy sometimes! Yep, I'm in college, and it is more laid back but still stressful. Oh ewwwww uniforms are no good! They're never good of course but oh wow they're especially horrible at your school! All of those things are really excessive and completely unnecessary!
