Wow... my time at Nueva is quickly dwindling to an end.  I leave in about an hour for the airport, to head off for Japan for two weeks, my last Nueva trip.  It should be fun and a great experience, but I'm worried about how well I speak the language.  No hablo japanese.  I really feel like I haven't learned enough to be able to make casual conversation in Japanese.  We'll see how it goes though I guess; the first week I am staying with a Japanese family.  I'll use my hands like Cynthia though, so I should be fine.  I started packing at like ten o'clock last night.  Probably not the best idea, I would assume.  Hopefully I will update a few times while I am over there, I think I'll have a good amount of free time when I'm at the school during the homestay.  I'm not sure what the keyboard will be like though, I'm guessing it's going to be hard, if not impossible to type in English.  I'm staying with the guy that stayed with Cody Williams and his family when he was over here.  I found out from Cody after we had gotten him his presents, that the two things we got for him, a Giants hat and a Giants T-shirt, they had already gotten him.. great huh?  Well, I should get going, here are some pictures from when the World Music and Steel Drums classes performed and I sung 'Hot Hot Hot' at Carnaval to hold you over until I get back or post from Japan.  See ya,

PS.  My movie was supposed to be online at Student Films yesterday, but apparently that didn't happen.  When it is up I will let you know and post the link.  There should also be judging results of my movie from the California Student Media and Multimedia Festival.
