I'm really sorry I haven't posted on here in so long. I've been busy creating and writing my stories in other ways, and I haven't been able to find time to write here. I think this will eventually turn into some kind of page where I post my realizations and epiphanies while on exchange, and maybe they can be of some sort of inspiration to you or just some complicated way of seeing how I'm doing.
To start us off, I often have my most interesting thoughts during rainstorms. While looking at a rainstorm just now I realized, I am probably one of the more brave and outgoing of my friends, considering I made the huge decision to spend the next year (now six months) of my life on the other side of the planet, but at the same time I do not go out often here, and the language is extremely difficult to learn, which is absolutely no problem for certain other students around the country. Putting yourself in new situations give you a huge amount of perspective on your own situation, and although I don't like to compare things, a little comparison here and there can give you a huge amount of insight on many different things.
Because I know you all love pictures, here's me with a spiny tailed house gecko that I caught.
