Homestay with a Family

I don't think I mentioned this in my posts before but I did sign up for a "Family homestay". A lot of times when people go studying abroad they stay with a Host Family. While, this is not the case with AIU we did get an opportunity to sign up and to be paired up with a Japanese family for a "homestay". I met my Family on Saturday, they were a couple that spoke a little bit of English. Their names are Tomoyo and Masaki, Masaki works at a Pharmaceutical company (If I understood correctly). They invited me to visit them on October 18th. Unfortunately, they were supposed to have another student from Korea also assigned to them, but he did not come...which felt unfortunate. Besides that I simply don't have that many news, I plan to go out into the city this Friday. There are a few things on my mind that will determine what I will do here. I am also trying to sign-up for another elementary school program, but unfortunately all of the ones available now are for Thursday mornings when I have class.
