It got a lot easier to handle my homesickness this month. I feel like I went through the cycle of feelings really quickly. I'm also struck by the fact that my birthday is approaching (next month), and I'll soon be 22. It feels a lot different from previous years. Partially because I'm not at home, and partially because it's an age that doesn't feel particularly eventful. I've made plans with my friends, and with another person in the dorm who has the same birthday as me, to have a little celebration. It's mostly just going to be my usual habit of cooking for people, but I'm looking forward to it. I've been spending a lot more time getting out sight seeing in spite of the cold. Last month, we went to Tokyo Disney, which was one of the biggest highlights of my time here. It was another look into the cultural differences between Japan and home. This month, I'm looking forward to more experiences like that.
