Graduation
My graduation was last night, meaning I'm officially done with high school! I was so nervous because I had to give the Salutatory speech, but it actually went pretty well. I was shaking by the time I was done, but everyone said they couldn't even tell I was nervous. I feel so relieved now that it's over. Luckily my speech was toward the beginning, so then I could just enjoy the rest of the ceremony, which was really nice. Good news about my physics regents too! I managed to pull off a 91%! Another huge relief ^^; I'm glad that high school's over, but it is a little sad too since I probably won't see some (or lots) of my classmates again. I'm gonna miss my teachers a lot too. Hopefully I'll be able to keep in touch with them.

I've been doing some training with the Mission Japan team the last couple of weeks. Last Wednesday we worked on a construction project at church, since we will be doing quite a bit of work at the camp in Japan. I have very little physical strength, so lifting and moving heavy objects for nearly two hours wasn't real easy for me ^^; And the fact that it'll be so hot and humid in Japan isn't very encouraging either. I'm glad we have such great people on the team. They all have such a good sense of humor and are so willing to help that it makes me feel a lot better. The training session before that was much more enjoyable. It was about cultural sensitivity and we went over things you shouldn't do in Japan (ie blowing your nose in public or sitting on tables). Basically we're supposed to be discrete about everything, which shouldn't be hard for me because I already am that way. Unfortunately I'll probably still draw lots of strange looks, since I'm tall with blonde hair (aka not very Asian-looking ^^;). We also went over some useful Japanese words and phrases, and I was glad to find I already knew all of them. And people say you can't learn from anime =P

Well, I'd better stop here before this gets any longer ^^; Have a great weekend!
(P.S. Thanks for the comments on my artwork! ^_^)
