こんにちは！
おげんきですか？
げんきです。

So May& June were busy with finals, and now school is finally over. My parents also are now seperated, but it wont become offical till October, this is because if my mother changes her mind. So the last month has been quite hard on me,and I dont just mean about my family ,but also about myself. I found out that I might have Arthrtis or Lupus. Everything is taking to slow to find out,so my mom has decided to take me to Alberta for a some sort of scan that I guess can figure out any problem.And it faster getting in then here, I guess.So we should be going real soon for that which will make me happy. Alot of things in my life have been changing, I sometimes can't walk or move my hands that well.All my joints, well i think all my joints but for sure my hands, are swollen. I find it hard to hold cups like coffee or hot chocolate.At times I have to use both hands. I'm also starting to realize to listen to small signs. My friend, Little Makino, doesn't believe in Little signs and says I should just listen in God. But isnt recieving signs or signals similar to listening to God.For all the people who believe in God.I really don't want to discuss faith, but everyone has their own oppinion and I know alot of people who are touchy on the subject. So anyway, what I mean by signal is small signs that lead to something. Like my doctor told me to start eating/drinking ginger. It can be found in stir fry, or green tea.Anyway, my horscope this,well next month, for my birthday said: I should shop for ginger. It can be found in stir fry, candies, or green tea. Now I dont usually believe in horoscopes because usually their the same things. Their always talking about 'love' and so on.What was funny was out of all the horoscople mine was the only one that didn't sound, I guess, cheesy. It made sense,so when I saw what to shop for and what my doctor directly told me to do,I thought, ok maybe I should listen to my horoscope for this month.Which told me to gather up alot of friends, because I'll be recieving hard news at the end of the month. So yah. I mean alot of people would say, that's just concidence, but for me my gut tells me to listen to it. I've had these gut feelings before and they ended up me choosing what highschool I wanted to go to and I'm loving it,I mean highschool. It's scary, but I'm just happy knowing that one of the days I will find out what I have. I've come to terms that this is life, and I just got to keep living and forgett my troubles because I have so much and worrying about stuff will just make me waste my time.

So on other news, I've finally translated 60 pages of Alice Nineteenth or
ありす１９ＴＨ。 I'm so proud of myself. I've been enjoying Yuu Watase story and it's fun to spent hours translating a different language.It also helps me pick it up faster :). I didn;t tell anyone I was translating japanese books to english in my blog. I'm pretty sure. But yah, that's what I've been doing. I'm translating currently Alice 19th. But afterwards I have Alice 19th volume 2, Marmalade boy volume 1, Lala magazine, and 1 litre tears. 1 litre tears is a novel,not a manga. I probably won't be able to translate, but I'll be able to read parts. See 1 litre tears is a diary of a girl (this is a true story) who had a incurable disease and she wrote in a diary. It's very touching and I want to read it. But you see,I'm not that good at Kanji yet in japanese, even tho I've tooken my full attention to it now for the summer, and this is a diary so when theirs kanji their isn't a little spelling in the hirgana/katakana alphabet on the side of the kanji of what the symbol means, so it very hard to translate. And in japanese manga/magazines and most things they have this on the side so it make it easier to translate, but since this is a diary and she knew what she was writting, their was really no need for that. So as I get older and learn more japanese I'll be able to read it on my own,but for now I will just translate what I know and enjoy it. OOOOOOOOH, thats right I'm studying more of japanese, like kanji,review of this year morning&afternoon classes, and everything. I want to learn more, and become good.Especially since next year is the Yokohama trip.My morning class ended on June 14th, I passeed the first year of japanese school and have a certificate to proove it. Next week Japanese afternoon class comes to a end for the summer. I've learn so much.I'll be going onto my second year of Japanese starting in september. In September I'll be offically taking three classes of Japanese. A morning and afternoon classes on Saturdays. And culture/language class on another day for Yokohama,Japan. Next year when I start grade 10, I want to get all 90's or high 80's in my classes. I want to work hard so I can achieve my dreams of studying in a Japanese university. I'm thinking of jobs in the art area, but also teaching english in Japan. I think I would enjoy that.

So Yokohama,Japan exchange is next year. I can't wait! I've already raised 1,300. I need three thousand,so I'm at a good start. Also I made my own Vampire Knight Blog skin. This is the first blogskin I've made and I'm sooo happy. It took me three days to make the layout and code it. Thanks Saruna.net and
at0mica.net for the blog background and brushes on my layout. I have given you full credit on the credits part. Sadly since I'm so new at this layout making on blogger, I can only make my blog look beautiful on IE and not on Firefox, sorry all firefox users. But anyways the anime of Vampire knights is freakin awesome, and I'm so in love with the manga,I'm reading it in shojobeat and in the LaLa issue I have, has a chapter of it, so yah. Anyways the main reason i made a Vampire knight Layout is because at the anime con I'm going to in July, I will be going as Yuki Cross for cosplay. I'm having my costume handmade and yah,yippeee, I'll definatly take pictures and put them up. And little Makino is coming,and all my japanese classmates are going to be going. It will be in a different province of course,but still,fun. I'm also going to Hawii for a wedding and have to come up with a Japanese toast because I was ask to.Um,yah,so this July will be awesome. Have a good summer everyone.I'll keep update :)
