This morning I recieved an email from my host shcools english teacher this morning. He didn't really say alot though, mainly just said how the shcool was looking forward to having me and that this year there would be 4 exchange students from Australia and New Zealand (including me). I was kinda hoping that I'd have other exchange students from other countries other than the two that I have citezinship in.
Any how my next post shouldnt be far off as I have my pre-orientation and host family information coming in the next few days.

First Day Of Shcool (New Zealand)
It's weird, I thought when shcool started here that I'd hate it and couldn't wait to go to Japan. Complete oposite. All my classes here are awsome and most of the dicks who I hate have dropped out and left shcool/been put in stupid people classes. Not to say that Im not looking forward to Japan like crazy, I just wish I had more time here.
I left shcool like 1.30pm'ish for lunch at a cafe in town and it was delicious and I felt "sophisticated" adding to my longing to be able to spend a bit more time here before I leave which would probably be my best shcool year In New Zealand. Im going to miss this laid back lifestyle here because of the lack of having to do anything too difficult ever. I'm doubting life In Japan will be so easy. But I wouldn't have life anyother way.
48days till departure. Can't wait till I get my host family. Driving me nuts.

First Entry and Host Shcool
Ok so I've decided to write this blog as a sort of diary on my upcoming time in Japan for myself, my friends my family and whoever else may stumble across this. I'm not sure how many people will auctually ever read this but it would be nice to think that someone will follow me and my time in Japan.
Andway getting to something much more interesting; Host Shcool! A while backs I finnaly go given information on my host shcool which is really quite excting. My shcool is 神奈川県立座間総合高等学校 (Kanagawa Prefectural Zama Sogo High Shcool which is located In 座間市 (Zama City) which has a population of about 130,000 people and is located roughly 36km from Tokyo and slightly closer to Yokohama.
The shcool is relatively new and has quite a small roll of about 700 students and a massive gender imbalance with roughly two female students for male student. From what I can gather from their website poorly translated with the help of google is that their your typical Japanese shcool but seem to be extra keen on sporting activities which will be benificial to my great lack in fitness. The shcool also offers a few languages which I'm hoping I'll be able to take (specifically Chinese).
So yeah that's pretty much all I have to say for now, next post will probably be on my host family information when it comes in the next month or so.
