Well, here I am, beginning my adventure to Okinawa. I'm at the train
station in Kizaki, with half my paycheck in my bag. I'm so nervous. I should have left an hour ago but... I was procrastinating. I'm so nervous! The last week I crammed in as much study as I could at school. Still, most of it was me frantically trying to learn more grammar, primarily new sentence structures... so I actually didn't get a chance for much memorization.
Lucky me, I had to go to an enkai on Wednesday night. Hashiba sensei was occupied with preparations, so she asked one of the other teachers to give me a lift. The drive over wasn't so bad. I was able to have a decent conversation with the teacher who drove me, and that was nice. However, once we got there, it was a different story. The teachers were all very involved in talking with each other, and I was hopelessly lost. In the end it was a brutal remind of how little I've learned.
I hope the people on this trip will be patient with me. Still, I've made a promise to myself: I will not let whatever happens with the other members of this tour stop me from enjoying it. I will try my best, but no matter what, I don't want this opportunity to pass me by.
Train will be here soon...
