Clouds of Clarity toDay

My birthday was recently and I turn the big 23!

I talk about how my family and friends threw me a surprise zoom party, I went to a conveyor belt dessert cafe, and successfully found the last accessory I needed for my Halloween costume.

Like the title says, I talk about enjoying a nice day to myself on a Sunday in Shinjuku, Japan. I accidentally ran into an art store, and a very yummy ramen shop.

I also touch on my fall break plans and the process of trying to plan it

Me and some friends go skating in Tokyo Dome, attend karaoke and sing anime songs and throw backs, and then go on some entertaining evening adventures

While waiting for my train home, I talk about my Friday and how me and some friends planned a cute lil ghibli night with a snack potluck

Ive joined Judo club and talk about my experience getting tossed around like a salad the first day of practice

My fall break is also coming up so Ive been trying to figure out what the best way to spend it would be. It's giving a nature based trip so far.

I decided to take a day trip to Yokosuka last weekend and attended a firework festival I also give another weekend update with the typical splash of chaos

P.S

*ALSO update at 13:00 (the person I was talking about was not exactly a friend, more of someone me and my actual friends had met that evening. I chose the wrong choice of words)

Me and my friends went to a Halloween event at a club in Shinjuku. Staying true to what seems to be a forming pattern, I had yet another chaotic weekend. But this time, it was much more enjoyable, filled with meeting lots of new people, and witnessing my friends endure some unexpected events.

With it only being my first two and a half weeks on the other side of the world, I come to the realization that I dont have to have everything together.

Like seedlings planted in a new garden, it can take some time to bloom into your confidence and comfort in a new place

Certainly not as chaotic as the stories from last weekend.

This past weekend I was with a fun group of new friends, we went on some adventures, skipped the midnight train and rode back around 5am.

I encounter life saving strangers, and tell the story of how I made my way home with no train pass and without a coin in sight.

On a nice little walk to the grocery store I talk about how it's already been two weeks in Japan, and how I realize that Ive been being too hard on myself while adjusting to a new environment
