Today during I.T. class I checked my blog as usually. I saw that people from the countries the people in my Skype list are from all clicked on my blog.
I'm pretty sure not everyone of you is even interested in reading/enjoying the shit I'm producing here but you should know that it's making me veeeery happy ❤ (I'm still missing England here but it's alright, Spain is making up for it I guess ︶ ω ︶;; )
So yeah, feel hugged? As soon as I'm in Japan I can't post the link as my Skype status anymore but I hope you'll keep on clicking ; A ;
Or just message me on Skype, I'll set you on the subscriber list. IF YOU WANT THAT IS. (Goddammit, it feels horrible to be like "Oooooh, everything for the fans!" and as soon as it's getting less "FUCK THE FANS!". I'm totally the type for this. Who am I calling a fan anyway.)
I love you guys.
The name's Envy-chan. I'm a female, 20-year-old otaku, music-addict and I have a sweet tooth. Since my earliest childhood I've been into Japan and its culture. Not too long ago I was able to make my dream of visiting come true and I didn't regret it just a bit. Currently I'm studying Japanese and English in university. However, I haven't found my place yet, so this journey continues.

#36: Adjourned preparations
Soooo actually mum and me wanted to pack my stuff. Actually. What happened? NOTHING ❤
But at least I got a lot of sweets I'm going to gift my family. We'll still buy some more but it'll be enough. (Thanks to a certain girl for all the tips and hints and inspirational ideas and so on. Helped a lot.)
And then we have to pack next week. Saturday I'll be busy after all with wearing a lolita dress and running around on a book fair, trying to get autographs of my favourite mangaka. Ema Toyama for example. I want her shikishi ; A ; I'd also get some Tite Kubo for Master, but... I DON'T HAVE ANY MANGA OF HIM D:
The last day of the week, Sunday, I'll probably meet up with some friends and see them for the last time.
Z-nee'll come with me to the airport, I still can't express how happy I am about this. She was also the first one who registered to Dropbox. So much gay love for my best friend ; v ;
More otaku stuff I can report about is that I finished episode 6 of Brave10. Master made me watch this shit and I don't like it at all (annoying female and male main characters, lame story...) but now that I'm halfway through I'm just gonna finish it. Not like I got anything better to do anyway. Of course noooot. I could learn Japanese or... do effective things but instead, why not watch an anime you don't like? Envy-chan, you're making so much sense. Ohohoho, yes I am. Not.
Oh, and I'm at volume 9 of Love Hina. I want to finish the series before I leave. I got all the volumes, so why am I not finishing them? I'M SO LAZY AND UNPRODUCTIVE THESE DAYS. Friends, why aren't you kicking my ass? x'D
Last 5 school days. I can do it!

#35: "Mental" preparations
Today, there are only 9 days left. When did time started running so fast? It's incredible.
After getting some sleep my Mum and me'll buy a gift for my host family. We thought about sweets and maybe something for upcoming Eastern. After all, we celebrate it here even if we're not Christian.
Also I'll start packing tomorrow. I'm surprised that I'm allowed to take almost 50 kg with me. That's twice the weight I expected. But actually, it's fine with me since I can take more stuff for 10 months with me that way.
So, what have I been up to besides that? I got my visa last week, means I'll be able to legally stay in Japan now. Also I got the ticket for my flight and started giving all my people who I want to stay in touch with my postal address (if you didn't get it yet and I intend to stay in touch with you, wait for it, I'm still at that). Aaaaand I made myself a Dropbox account. Since I'll be only uploading pictures without me on it here (selected ones only), I'm gonna upload all the pictures on a shared Dropbox folder, available for close friends and family. With that, my parents, my brother, Ouji-kun, Master, Z-nee and Hungary-sama are meant (in the first place).
I think I was better off when my Omegle network was banned. I just keep on meeting cool people I have to say good-bye to later ; ^ ; It's painful to see that. But how did a guy I met there say? It's a preparation for when my time in Japan ends, it'll be the same. Although I'll definitely see my friends here again, the same isn't guaranteed for Japan.

#34: Stuck between emotional difficulties
With every passing day, the time of my departure just gets closer. Today there are exactly 29 days left and the time until then will be rather short due to my plans. Okay, next weekend I got no plans so far but the week after that Ouji-kun'll visit again. Then another free weekend although that's the weekend when I should pack my stuff for the long trip because the week after that I'll be on a book fair (in a lolita dress, whoop whoop ❤). Just two day after this I will depart. And the thought of this is not only bringing happy sentiments along but also gloomy ones.
It just is a fact that the closer the time is coming the cooler people I start meeting online. Another fact is also that I decided to limit myself to writing my blog, skyping once a month and writing letters. Naturally not everyone wants to write letters and I totally understand that. 10 months are a long time though and so I'm afraid of losing touch with those people who are important to me. The most of my friends agreed to this though. I was so happy when Hungary-sama said that she always wanted a pen pal. It terribly touched me and now that I thin about it my eyes are getting teary. Other people like Ouji-kun and Master agreed as well as a new friend I made during Winter break. They're adding up and the more people agree the more positive feelings I'm getting about all this. It's stupid but I guess due to a lot of otome games I became sensitive for relationships. If I'm not talking to a person although seeing her/him my affection this person decreases. I need to stay in touch regularly or the friendship status is kinda back to strangers. I saw that happening enough times already and honestly: I was always the only one who was feeling that way. For the other person our friendship froze when we were not talking. I can't do that. Not if the person isn't a close friend like Z-nee for example. Pfffff, during vacations we hardly ever talk and still we're like usually. (I LOVE YOU, GURRL)
I cried a lot over that matter. But this will after all be the year of my life and I will never ever have the chance again to experience something like that.
Ahahahaha, let's move on to happier things. Writing that actually helped a lot.
Valentine's Day was just a few days ago and this year I actually gifted chocolate to Z-nee and Hungary-sama. They looked so happy when I gave them the somewhat self-made chocolate, it was just perfect.
And then there was my brother who gifted me a game for iOS I always wanted: Miku Flick 02. It's not that cheap for a mobile game so I was really surprised when he showed me that. Best brother ever ; v ;
If anybody else wants to be my pen pal... Message me somehow. Comment here or wherever~

#33: MUAHAHAHA, I lied!
There never was a Christmas post. I took the pictures, but then last week my SD card broke, making all the stuff on it disappear. I have to buy a new one and re-take all the pictures, it's so annoying.
But let's forget Christmas for now, I'll report how the Japanfestival was and what I was doing concerning my year abroad because there indeed was stuff happening.
The Japanfestival was as awesome as it was two years ago. I bought a lot of second hand manga, increasing my collection to a total of 314 manga. Over 20 are still unread. It's annoying as well but actually fun. Right now I'm reading Sgt. Keroro. My favourite character is Giroro and Tamama. They're so cute! But actually the highlight of the whole event was a certain show group which did not only perform a Bleach show but also took part in a cosplay casting. They were the viewer's favourite (according to the applause etc) but still didn't win the final. That made me really mad. That's all I can say. I loved it. 2015 I'll go again.
Now, to my year in Japan. First off all the important facts:
The year is actually "just" 10 months.
I'll take off at the 18th March this year.
I'll arrive in Narata.
My family lives one hour away from Tokyo, same for my school.
My school is amazing.
I can look over to Disneyland over the sea <3 br="">
I haven't done it yet, but I will write my family a letter. I can't wait longer, I bet they want to get to know me, too >___<
I heard of others that they got 2 families (arrival family, one for the time after that) but I'm really glad I didn't. I just hope it works out good for both of us. I need to learn Japanese ; 3 ;
But that wasn't what I wanted to share about what was going on. I wanted to talk about money.
The whole travel costs 7900€, quite much for my family. Well, actually it wouldn't be affordable without a scholarship. We got one, but there are still 6000€ left. That's why we went to a big company here in town and told them my problem. The time's running and they said we should have come sooner, but they said they'd try to help us. It's highly doubtable that we'll get ALL the money, of course not and my parents are gonna raise a credit, but the higher the credit is, the more interest there'll be. We want to keep it as small as possible, naturally. I offered to work when I'm coming back. Okay, I really hope that I don't have to do that. When I come back, I want to spend my time for school, friends, reuniting. And Japan. Not working. But if it's necessary, I'll sacrifice myself for that. That's just a minor thing I have to do in order to make my dream come true after all.
Now I got the tip that I should talk to high politician here. That'd be awesome if we could get more help.
So. Now I have to read more Keroro. After that: Shoujo.
And wow. This week. It's amazing. Today three classes, tomorrow two, the two days after that two or three and then... School reports and vacatioooooon. Woop woop! Slacking off! Like my favourite show group! <3 br="">
