I can only pray this will be the only time in my life that I ever seriously write that sentence...

But, alas, I do desperately need a Vogue.

My English Club is currently preparing their presentation for our school festival, and they have chosen to present various aspects of American Pop Culture. The Seniors are presenting on American fashion and so have been searching vigilantly around Japan for an American version of Vogue (they sell them in Japanese, but that just won`t do for an English Club presentation). I told them I probably knew a subscriber or two back home, and then I told them of the warmhearted, caring generosity of all Americans and how it was almost inevitable that one of these amazing, sweet, kind-hearted people would find it in their heart to put one of these magazines into an envelope and send it Japan in time for their presentation (in two weeks...). You should have seen how their eyes lit up when they realized that they were depending on such a generous, kind, and thoughtful group of Americas. It was really something. :-)

If you can help, please send it to our apartment:

In other news: we`re coming home in one and a half months! WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

Sorry about the lack of updates lately, but at this point we`re really just riding a wave of excitement as it builds for our return home. That, and life is just so regular here recently it seems weird to send out updates about the regular stuff we`re doing. I had granola and tea for breakfast this morning, then I walked to school, it`s kind of hot and humid out, but not too bad...

So, life is good, we`re glad to be here, and we`re really glad about coming home.

Love you all and talk to you soon!
