I may be gone?

Hey guys~! Just wanted to let you know I may not be back on for a few days, weeks... maybe a month? I'm not really sure.
My family and I are temporarily living in Wales with my Auntie and cousin, for reasons that... I'm not going to say right now.. Maybe later, I don't know.. I don't know how long I'm staying. My Auntie is almost five months pregnant, and we plan to be there up until the baby is born, and it's possible that we'll stay until the baby turns 1, but my parents still haven't decided on that.
Anyway, so we left earlier than we first planned. We were planning on leaving later in the year, but we left earlier today... sort of... I.... Okay, I'm super jet lagged right now, so bear with me... We left Japan at 3pm, on the 8th of May, and we got here at like.... 7pm.... on the 8th... And it was like.. a 12 hour flight... I'm so.. tired... It's like 3am in Japan, almost 4am, and in my mind... I.. I don't know..
My mom is calling me to dinner, and I feel like I'm going to pass out of sleepiness, so I'm going to wrap this up.

I'm not going to be gone for the entire time I'm here in Wales, just for a couples days or weeks or something.. I'm trying to get settled, and I have to wrap my brain around the time difference.. Plus I'm gonna be hanging out with my cousin, and he's going to show me around his town, show me the malls and fun places. I'll probably go on my phone just to see if there's anything new, but that's about it.

Don't miss me too much, okay~? I won't be that long. > w <
Later~!

Okay!! I think I'm alright, aside from the fact that I keep waking up at 2-3 in the morning, because, if I do the math correctly, it's around 11 in the morning in Japan. I always feel like I'm sleeping too late, but then I realize that it's so early. （。-＿-。）

Spending my birthday with my Auntie and cousin for the first time was interesting! It's not the happiest of times for them right now, so I really appreciate them pulling themselves together to give me a fun birthday!

School has been.. interesting so far. I guess entering so close to the end of the school year wasn't the best idea, but it couldn't be helped. I'm still getting used to teachers and people that I barely know calling me by my given name. Sometimes I want to just yell at them to call me by my family name, but I know it's normal to address people by given names here, so I hold back. xD I've already been called "weird", and I've had a few people tell me to "loosen up". I'm the only one who sits straight in class, and I hardly go a day without the teacher scolding people for chatting during a lesson. My cousin's friends are the only ones who seem to understand that I only act this way because that's how I grew up, but that's probably because my cousin told them about me prior to my arrival.
And for whatever reason, people are surprised at how well I speak English. As if, because I'm Japanese, my pronunciation must be bad, and I must have bad grammar. I've had to explain to many people that I've been studying it since I was really young, my mom grew up in Wales, so English is her first language, and my dad is fluent in it, too. It's not really surprising that I know my stuff.

But other than that, I've had a nice time. It's an interesting change of pace, and I look forward to exploring more of the culture here! It's also been really nice to talk to my cousin in person, rather than over the phone, or through email or text. But uuh... Yeah! I still may be a bit inactive, but I'll probably throw a few posts here and there. ^ - ^ <3
