Frustrations...

ohkkay I haven't been on here in a while. I have been stressing out lately. Im at the stage in my trip where I hate everything Japanese. I joined the badminton team which is like crazy retarded difficult. (did ya follow that?) anyway after my first practice it rained and of course since im in japan i had to bike my way home. the next day my throat was halfway closed and i was extremely sore. It was just awful and my voice was completely gone. Now im getting much better...
I beginning to get really annoyed by my little siblings. They are sooo bad and disrespect my host mom soo much. Like yell and her and hit her. And all she does is just sit there. On the application thingy they said that they were a neat family. NEAT?!! yeah right. My siblings, Ayaka and Toku, cough and sneeze all over the house and then help mom prepared dinner. Grosss. Without washing their hands. Super Gross...
I just want to seriously beat them. Its nooo discipline in this house. I thought Japanese kids are very disciplined. I guess i was wrong wayyy wrong. *huff* I need someone to console me.

My new EPIC house

I just moved into my permenant familys house and its soooo awesome. Its alll modern. Yah know like metal and glass?? But anyway my family is sooo nice. Im still not used to little children running around my house. Because back at home im have a 22 yo bro and a 20 yo sis. So its still weird. The weather has been pretty nice these days in tochigi. Also im not used to a housewife for a mom. Im not saying that my mother back at home never picked up a broom but the one here never puts a broom down.

this is what you see when you first walk in the house
this is the hallway out my room

my epic bed thats high in the sky

and my cool-o-rama house

HAIR!

I know you guys were wondering "how in the world is a black chick gunna get her hair done without a hair salon"??!!! Well like a week ago i fully pressed my hair for the first time. Im soo proud of myself. Im tearing up right now!!!

Idk...

Well im sitting here at Chisato-sans computer and i dont know if i should buy a laptop or not. I find that buying a laptop would be very useful. I went to Yamada Genki today and I saw a Toshiba laptop for ￥124,000. Thats about $1300 in America. I really want a laptop and the one that i left at home is complete trash. Seriously. I also left my iPod at home and im like music deprived. Im about to die here. No Lupe, Kanye, Ne-yo...I never realized how much i luv music until i got here. All the other AFSers brought their laptops and iPods. This sucks. Its nice here but every now and then I get super homesick. :( Im listening to Lupe Fiasco "Kick Push pt.2" on utube and the beat is soo sick. But yeah whatever. I asked my mom if she could get me the laptop. Im just sitting here waiting for an answer. I dont know if its too much on her because this trip cost her like a good $6000 and I honestly dont wanna ask her for anything else. Im pretty sad right now. Idk...I luv all my family and friends.
I went to Mickey D`s today. There food is sooo good here. Im gunna post pics of Tokyo Disney Land later. Im really tired and Ive been having the oddest dreams ever. They are soo vivid and dramatic. Its scary. It`s like 10:25pm on Friday here but its like 9am somethin in the US on Thursday.Well GOODNITE homies Ari_Yell is going to bed
