losing weight
Yeah, with the fact that I've been losing weight like crazy due to being lost... I feel well how can I say kinda hopeless because I really want to be fluent in japanese. I know I'm being anxious and stuff but I really want to start speaking like a native! Other than that, I can't wait till' school starts I'm in the summer session and I'm anxious to meet more japanese students! I didn't realize how tough studying abroad can be. The fact that you want to say a lot but you can't really say a lot and the fact that even though you did take japanese in school it's not the same! Because at the end of the day you're still speaking your native language. Other than that, I'm getting sleepy sorry for the short entry well peace

It took me about a year to feel like I could speak like a native. But even then, I didn't feel like that every other day. You'll have days where words come to your mind quickly and other days where you stumble on things. By the end of my two year stay in Japan, I thought that I would be totally fluent (in speaking, understanding, and reading/writing) if I stayed there another two years.
Moral of the story: Japanese is freaking tough. Don't despair. :)
頑張ってください！ I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow actually and I know how you feel. I've been there couple of times and each time I feel like a handicap. Now that I'll be going for a year.. It's going to be tough for me too. 一緒に頑張ろうね。 Hopefully by the end of the year when we look back, we would be like, "hey, I can't believe I couldn't even say that, hahahah!"
talk about that! i thought i could be ok in Chinese until i was at the bank trying to explain i didn't want to withdraw money from my credit card (it's like a cash advance)
then it was downhill from there. i couldn't think of my practiced phrases for any situation lol
