You have entered my life...

[Karashi Usaki]

Hi. I should probably introduce myself. My name is Karashi Usaki. Yes I am Japanese, and yes, I am new at Hammel. I figured you already had those questions in your mind just ready to fire them at me. Considering I don’t have any friends yet, I figured I’d start a journal. To anyone who is reading this, or who might read this, I will consider you my first real friend. Now, I’m sure most people talk about their lives in journals, you know, what happened in their past, how they were treated, blah blah blah. Well, I’m not going to spew all of that nonsense. I’m going to take this day by day.

I’ll start with me moving to America. It’s only been three months, and already I’ve been in a new school, a new home, and literally a new country. It’s been amazing, but also very confusing. Fortunately, my American family has been helping me, and if it wasn’t for them, I’d truly be lost. Anyway, enough about them. I must go now. With my ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder, I’ll explain later), I have to get some studying done. Since it’s not easy with this disorder, I’ll need all the help I can get. Sayonara for now! (That’s Japanese for see you later!)

I have decided to start dating my journal, for whoever reads this in the future. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to write until now. What with meeting new people, participating in a study by a scientist, and studying, I've barely got time to do anything anymore! But right now I have some free time, so let me catch up.

I've met some really nice people. The first one I met is named Steven. He's very strange. He has piercings in weird places, and the way he speaks to me is very rude. He does make me laugh though and he has taught me a lot of things, so he's ok. I think I just need to get used to him.

The next one is Cat. She is a bit younger than me, and on the short side. She is very sweet though. She acts timid, although I'm not sure if she is really acting or not. Oh well.

The next one is Eric, although I've already met him. He's my roommate, and he's two years younger than me. At first I wasn't as thrilled with living with a 15-year old, but now he's not so bad. He's actually really neat, and very nice.

I've also met Shane. He is fifteen, just like Eric, but he is so sweet! He is deaf, but he knows sign language. Thank you extracurricular classes! I can sign with him easily, so we go back and forth. He is the sweetest person I have ever met. And he's a gentleman too! Ok, I need to move on.

The last person I have met is a scientist. He seems nice, but I don't know that much about him. Anyway, he is doing this experiment on people's powers, and he asked me to join it. It sounded interesting, so I said yes. I hope it will be fun!

Anyway, I need to go study. I'll try and write as often as I can. Bye for now!
