Planing for The Last Week

I have one week holiday before heading home in Japan, and I am wondering what I want to do during the period.


Maybe I will be looking for some souvenirs for friends and family in Japan. My mom sent me a list where names of relatives and families are written and was like "This is least."


I most appreciate for my parents and grandmother in this study abroad, because they allow and help me to live in Australia, giving a great deal of financial aid as well as supporting me in many ways.


In addition to souvenirs, I haven't proceeded luggage packing at all, and even haven't started it yet. I am thinking of sending some Australian snacks and other stuff I don't need anymore in this weekend.


Some of my friends are planning to go for a trip during that time, but I feel like I am not up for it. Although I still have some places where I have wanted to visit at least once, I am feeling like I don't want to put an effort for that.


I also have lots of things that I want to do after this study abroad, so I am looking forward to heading home!

Internship

I started an internship at the beginning of November.



My colleagues and other staffs there are very nice and friendly, and I was surprised at first by when they are calling their first name each other.


Although during an orientation term of the internship, I was given an explanation about that, it was still unusual for me.


However, at the same point, I thought it was a very nice custom to let them get close emotionally, which makes communication smooth.



Since my jobs are very simple and easy, I sometimes got bored and have been thinking four weeks are enough for me.


Even though I felt that way, the experience to work at an Australian company is special, so I have been thankful for this opportunity.


And on this Thursday, I went for lunch with my co-worker for the first time. He is a very nice person and we talked a lot about our culture.

Almost nine months have passed since I started living here, Australia.


I was really confused at first, and wanted to go back many times, but overall I gained lots of priceless experience.


I have gone through a plenty of difficulties and challenges to overcome.


And I have learnt how to deal with them and enjoy them, which is still quite difficult though.


So, I cannot tell how grateful I am for people around me.


I have less than two weeks left before going home. I just would like to enjoy my life here.
