Ok, so don't get sick in a foreign country...actually getting sick when you don't have any family to take care of you is quite different when you don't have family around, and you don't speak the local language too well. Lucky I was only mildly sick, I stayed in the room, only came out when I absolutely had to (for food, really couldn't stack that up in here). Rested, drank warm tea when I could, etc..
On a more positive note, I have finally been able to type my Kanji name: 亜渡夢. As I mentioned, the Kanji are: "Asia, Traveler, Dream" and was given to me by a nursing student named Shizuka (静), its actually two Kanji glued together, her name means "Blue Fighter" which I think is kind of cool too, and kind of matches her outgoing personality. I will try to learn to write these so that in situation where Japanese is used, I can use that to sign my name rather then Katakana (アートム). I will briefly mention again, Katakana is one of 3 Japanese Alphabets and long with Hiragana is a phonetic Alphabet. It is used to spell many words that originated from other languages, and most foreigners that don't have Kanji names will use Katakana as well.
Oh, the nursing school professor has sent me and the other international students an invite for dinner at her house on Saturday in 2 weeks. She mentioned that her husband is a Junior High English teacher, and that she will invite some of her Nursing students. I am hoping to see some familiar faces...
