Daily Life

Hey guys! Some of you have asked about my schedule sn here goes.
My schedule actually depends on the day. But a typical day involves getting up at around six. I eat a fantastic breakfast my host mom always makes and get ready for school. I leave around seven. I have like a 10-15 minute bike ride, depending on how fast I go.
Then I take the bus for almost the entire route (get on on the first stop, get off on the third to last). That takes about 45 minutes. I arrive at school just past eight.
Then I have about 40 minutes to chill until school starts at 8:40. On Wednesday I've got another hour because first hour is homeroom. The day has six 50 minute periods plus a 35 minute lunch with 10 minutes between most classes.
My classes range from math (hilarious to hear “x minus ichi” [1 in Japanese] XD), to home economics, to P.E. and health, ancient Chinese literature (which is an awfully rough class for a foreigner), and some others. Throughout the day I usually have at least one (sometimes two) periods to go to another room and study Japanese by myself. Kinda boring, but it works.
Fridays are awesome because all day we're in the automotive part looking at car parts or welding or something crazy like that. And on Thursdays, this Irish guy Bryan comes to my school to teach English classes. He's awesome.

School ends at 3:20, but then I have band, usually until 7 (which i am getting incredibly tired of.)
Then I eat dinner, watch tv, try to get my laptop to work, etc. etc. etc.
Live.

Go to bed; repeat.
On weekends I tend to hang out with the AFS guys, especially Alex. Or I just relax.

So yeah. That's my life in a nutshell. =]
