NUFS University hosed a Christmas party for both the foreign and native students. The set up booths of different countries and had a stamp game for everyone with prizes. There was also a tea ceremony section and several live performances. It was a lot of good fun. What was really scary was when the food was served. It was like watching a pack of wolves go hunting on the discovery channel. There were four big tables where the food was placed and people just fell on it like they were starving to death. I didn't even get a plate until the second wave of food came. Japanese people can be really brutal when it comes to food.
It just occurred to me today that I'm going to spend my first Christmas without my family. It kind of made me regret deciding to stay over the break. I'm glad that I came to Japan and that I can have this experience. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me. But I didn't think that I would miss home this much. Also with my mom getting married while I was gone it feels a bit like I'm missing everything there. It seems that I'm getting my first taste of homesickness and I don't like it one bit.
