Hello Twisters! Not a whole ton to update you with, so I'll keep this short. We've been hard at work with school and our jobs, and we've got a break from school! A lovely week to rest before we go into the summer semester! How's work? Work is fun and good! Obviously we have a large increase in customers, as many tourists have come over to get vaccinated. Great for business, hard for loyalty, but you win some, you lose some. And, as it always is, new people from new places, new customers coming in, or the self-proclaimed "I've shopped here forever", you'll always get that one customer that makes your day REALLY interesting. How's school? SPECTACULAR! WOW! I just, ohmygosh, I just love school. I love my teachers, I love my classmates, I love learning Japanese, I. Love. It. All. I am so, so, SO excited to actually be in Japan and physically see everyone so I can not cry??? Yeah, that'd be great. We just finished our our first semester which was amazing and I'm so pumped up to head into the next semester! Anything else that's been happening? Not really? Just trying to get back into the swing of things. That's mostly it. With our wonky schedule, any extra curricular is hard to figure out, but eh, we're getting there. Well, thank you for reading the short life update! Hope you all are safe and doing well! Talk to you later, Twisters! Charisma

Hello Twisters! It has been a minute, but that isn't unusual here at the blog. TO BE FAIR, a lot has been happening. A. LOT. So! Here are some frequently asked questions that'll be answered for you all! Are you in Japan? No, no we are not. The State of Emergency has ended, but the borders are still closed to foreign travelers. What's happening in Japan right now? Will you be going to school? A lot is happening, really! Japan is having their fourth wave of Covid-19 cases, the UK variant also being very prevalent there. They're still planning for the Olympics, but I've read that there is a possibility in reconsideration for the games. If you want to read more up on that, I highly recommend checking out NHK World-Japan for any updates. So since you're here, you're not doing that school, right? You'll look for an American school to go to? We will not be going to school in America. We will, however, be taking online through Akamonkai! This is amazing for many reasons! The main one is that we were homeschooled most of our lives, so that'll help us a lot! A fun fact is that it's at 1:20 pm. Japan time. So that means 12:20 am for us! Yes it does mean waking up at 11 pm and yes it does mean that our sleep will be destroyed and rebuilt. What will you be doing if you're taking online classes? Well, since our classes are at midnight, we've switched our schedule around entirely, including with work! We'll still be working, our hours have be adjusted so we get a decent amount of sleep! I heard you had a YouTube channel, where's that? Yes! We do have a YouTube channel! It's called Twisted Two and features a lot of random, but fun things we do! As shown on the top video, we were taste testing peeeeps :3 Any other projects that you're working on? Oh, so many! But I will keep them all a surprise to see if they actually get accomplished. They are, though, very impressive and will excite you all :) That should be all the questions! At least, all the ones I've remembered. If you have any question you want to ask, please comment! I'll be sure to respond! Thanks for reading, Twisters, and talk to you all later! See you next week! CharismaP.S. At midnight tonight, we'll be taking our first online lesson! We've already had orientation, so it'll be right into it on the first day! Hi Twisters! So sorry for disappearing again. I don't really have the best reason to offer you other than that BIANCA was supposed to WRITE SOMETHING! But, we've figured out a new system and she won't be writing anymore blog posts for a while. She WILL, however, be making our vlogs! Yup, you heard that right! She's going to be covering our daily life in the form of videos on our YouTube channel: Twisted Two. I'm very excited for what she's going to make and how those are going to turn out, and I hope you Twisters are excited as well! Back to the title at hand, we're so close to going to Japan! We've already been accepted into our school, we've got our tickets, we've reserved our hotel, we've got our suitcases, etc. Definitely we've got more to do, but every step is one step closer! We're actually headed out of the country on March 13th and we'll arrive in Japan the 14th. After that, we'll do our required quarantine for 14 days, then we'll move into our dorms afterwards. After the move in, we'll start school! You know when you're achieving something you only had as a dream and it's actually coming to life? Those imaginations sessions are actually physically happening? Well, that's 100% the high that I'm riding right now. It's honestly so electrifying! Once you're successful in one endeavor, you learn the traits, understand the steps and repeat it until you continue this pattern of success. Japan is literally right around the corner for us and we couldn't be more excited! We'll keep you updated on everything that's happening! If you want to help us, please consider donating to our GoFundMe! See you soon, Twisters! Charisma And you know what that means? Less frequent blog updates! (Even though those already existed in summer...) Actually, no. That's not going to happen this year. This year, I'm going to plan what to post, when to post, etc. And I'm going to be SUPER PRODUCTIVE AND AWESOME AND YES. THIS WILL HAPPEN. But let's talk about school and what courses I've got this semester. |
