I'm enjoying my time here in Seattle. It's already cold, need a warm coat at night. Mostly cloudy, sometimes rain, rarely blue sky. I missed Seattle sooo much that sooo glad to be back. What I missed most; Seattle people! They are the nicest on earth. Other than that, nature, beautiful night view and clubbing.
First few days, I stayed at my host family's house I used to stay. Gosh, I missed them so much. Aura (the mom) is a wonderful woman. I respect her as a woman, business person and as a mother. She is always doing her best, possitive, passionate, challenging, appreciating, in a good shape... That's a type of woman I wanna be. And Tessa (Aura's daughter, 9 yd) is a wonderful girl. She is very cute, intellegent, active, curious in many things, friendly....oh, I can go on forever. There was a new Japanese girl staying at Aura's house too. She was a nice girl. Aura and I used to talk about our life, love, work, family, everything so we caught up with what we've been doing these few month and that was fun.
Then from last week, I began to live close to downtown Seattle by my self. I've always wanted to do this! I was looking for a place to stay for about 2 weeks and luckily I found a person who is moving to a new apartment but still has her old studio till the end of Oct. She was also looking for someone to rent a place. It has TV, all the furniture, kitchen, wireless Internet, bed, bath and toilet, everything that I need so that was nice.
These 2 weeks I've been meeting my friends, walking around Seattle, went to see my school, clubbing, exploring new cafes... enjoying my time in Seattle. It's weird but I don't feel like I've been away for 6 month. When I met my good friend, I felt like I was just gone for a short trip and came back where I used to be. Everything hasn't changed. It's the same. But when I told that, he said that that's because I'm the one who's gone and came back to the place where everyone is living the same life but for someone who's left behind is different. Yeah, I guess when one person disappeared suddently from your life must be difficult to deal with. For me, I went to a totally different place and environment; totally different life.
Anyway, I have one more week left in Seattle then go to visit my friend in Chicago for 5 days and back to Japan. I'll enjoy my time as much as I can so that I won't regret!!
Oh, one thing. I'm worried that I'm gonna gain weight... I've been eating out most of the time with my friends and you know, American food, American size... oh, well. Let's forget that and have fun!
