Yui, Part One

I'm home for the weekend.
Again.
Some of my friends have been giving me crap about going home so much (I think this makes the sixth weekend... ?).
Whatever.

This time I have an extremely legitimate reason, though. This is the weekend that the Japanese exchange students arrive. My high school, at which my brother is a senior, has a sister school in Okinawa, Japan, and for two weeks they send about 14 students to our high school for an English-learning experience. These students are all very bright and they are on the English track at their school (as opposed to a math and science track). Because my brother's been in Japanese at school, we've had the privilege of hosting a student for the past three years. Technically my brother's not in Japanese this year, because he's brilliant and took AP Japanese last year as a junior. But it's totally cool and my family's honestly just really great for this kind of thing, so it wasn't like Cain Sensei (the Japanese teacher at our school) wasn't going to allow Wes to host a student during his last year. Anyway, our student's name is Yui and I'm super excited to meet her. I didn't get to meet the student last year because I was in Utah. They hosted a girl last year, too. The first two years we had boys. Kazushi and Masachika... oh boy.

Anyway.
This weekend should be fun.
I think we're hosting the first party (the two weeks spent here in good ol' Cedar Rapids, Iowa are filled with events and get togethers). But yeah. Stoked.
