finals over, a new name, walking in the rain

room post lunch - Raining. I have finally finished with finals and papers.

Yesterday was fun b/c my host mom's English class came over and we had a party. I was the main attraction. It was all middle aged ladies who were learning English along with my host mom. We went back and forth talking in English and Japanese. The English teacher gave me a stuffed cat as a present. Everyone was really nice. But the best part was when the English teacher asked me if I had a way to write my name in Kanji. I said I had heard of people doing that but that I didn't have one yet. She decided to create my kanji name using the meaning of my name. It came out to be, Mizutori Jun. Mizutori corresponds to my family name and Jun, to my given name. She wrote it down for me and I LOVE it!!! I was so happy and grateful she did that for me!

水鳥純 That is my new Japanese name in Kanji!!

Today I slept in and went for a walk in the rain!! I love walking in the rain. I took an umbrella this time and strolled around the rice fields for a while. It was nice.
