Welcome back, aoi's smile!!!

Lauging dissapeared from my life in past a week.. It was just like...I was not myself. Normally I LOVE to talk and laugh, but I couldn't do that. My lips had had a problem since the weather changed here. I never had that bad condition so I really didn't know what to do. I couldn't open my mouth and I couldn't talk or eat anything. I finally went to the doctor and got medicine which I never tried before.. My skin is really sensitive so sometimes it's not good to use different medicine. Because I couldn't talk, I was absent from school a couple of days too. School has been my favorite place since I was a kindergarten school student. I was kinda afraid that I refused to meet people even with my host family. It also made me miss my family in Japan. I talked to my mom a lot and she gave me kind words. I was relieved that my family are always there for me when I need them. If this medicine didn't work, I would've thought about going back to Japan seriously... I've taken medicine for a week and finally my lips are getting much better though. I finally can talk to people and laugh.. even yawning. haha All of my friends and my host family told me that they were glad to see my smile again.
Because I'd been at home while I was having my lips trouble, I didn't go out except school. So, today I finally got out of house and went shopping by myself. On the bus I kept thinking why I came to Vancouver. It was back to when I was 10, I met my favorite English teacher. She showed me Vancouver for the first time. Since then, coming here had been my dream. I'm 21 now, so...wow, I'd been dreaming about this for 11 years. I think going abroad is not something everyone can do. I always thank to my parents who let me come here. I don't know about after 2 years at Douglas yet, but I do what I can do now. And then, I can see my future later. Feels like I can get rid of something in my mind today. And more than anything, I'm really happy I can talk and laugh now! Welcome back Aoi!!! haha I'm so sorry to everyone that I made them worry about me and thank you so much for always supporting me :D
I promise next post will be back to normal Aoi's blog with good pictures!!!
See ya :D
