I know it's hard to see now, but think of how much you'll grow. In yourself as a student, IR major, and even as a woman. We all have faith in you back here and we miss you every day. The only thing that gets us through is knowing that you are doing something extraordinary! <BR/><BR/>I love you.<BR/><BR/>AshleyAshley-Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319960106610891802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648638566849228260.post-28001233413344297022008-09-23T19:56:00.000-07:002008-09-23T19:56:00.000-07:00Hey Mary, I know exactly what you mean about stage...Hey Mary, <BR/>I know exactly what you mean about stage 2. If it's any consolation, the establishment of a routine really helps you move past it. I think my stage 2 was a few days. Of course that was more due to my homework stress than being in a new culture. Nevertheless, you are AMAZING at Japanese, so will get comfortable quicker than it seems like. The fact that you are speaking more Japanese than English to your host mother shows just how dedicated to this experience you are; if nothing else, take courage from that. I miss you and am sending you lots and lots of virtual hugs!! This stage will pass, don't worry!<BR/><BR/>Love ya!<BR/>MargaretMargaret at Scattered Acreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625097614199426054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648638566849228260.post-63922318911316323862008-09-23T19:37:00.000-07:002008-09-23T19:37:00.000-07:00Mary,We miss you terribly!
