Daisy Girl
This is my cat named Daisy. She is 4 years old and will be turning 5 in July. I got her when she was 2 weeks old. I had to leave her with my parents upon coming to Japan. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, but I know she is being taken care of well with my mom and dad. I was so happy to see her when I went back to America for a few weeks. She was still the cute, cuddly, affectionate Daisy I always knew. I love her so much and I can’t wait until I see her again.

Salad for Breakfast
Hello!
Today’s blog is a bit of a throwback to my first couple weeks in Japan when I stayed in two different hotels. Breakfast was included at each hotel and I took full advantage of the opportunity to try out some Japanese food! Both hotels served similar dishes which handily beat standard American hotel breakfasts in terms of nutritional content. Case in point: one dish served each morning without fail was salad. For anyone familiar with American style breakfasts, you know that the last thing on an American’s mind first thing in the morning is salad. If we have vegetables with the first meal of the day, they’re usually steaming hot, cooked into omelettes or other egg dishes, and don’t include lettuce! Personally, I enjoyed beginning my day with something light and healthy but I definitely had to adjust my expectations for what “breakfast” means!

Lesson Progress!
Go to the Library for free lessons. Really fun people and they speak a lot of English too. The best part is that most of my fellow students don't speak English as a first language.
I've made a lot of progress these three months. "I know enough to know I don't know anything", or something like that is a phrase I heard a lot growing up from my father. He says that it's really important not to get prideful after learning the basics of something. That's how you stop moving forward and get better. He's a really wise person I think.
