I'm writing this in the wee minutes before dinner

so don't die if I have lot's of spelling errors.
okay, so today I was walking up to the platform at the station after school and noticed quite a lot of people, more than usual. And they were all talking to each other which was even stranger. I thought maybe it was because I was early. Then I realized the times for the next trains were all messed up. Well, apparently it turns out that a high school student jumped, was pushed, or fell in front of a limited express train (way fast train that doesn’t stop) at the station I was at, how creepy!! I heard from my sister that they’re alive but geez. They had a lot of the platforms blocked off. But when this happened I thought the accident was at another station backing things up, I didn’t find out until I got home that it was a student.
Anyway, More news! I’ll be having two, yes two, families over the summer break. One is about the same time as now from school but in the adjacent direction. I’ll be staying with a first year in the international course, the same class as the other exchange student who's here. I think she has an older brother and lives next to her grandparents who like to talk ^_^ The next family I know less about, but the girl is in the second year class across the hall. I’ll be staying with them for two weeks. Whew, I’ll be busy. I have to dig out my suit cases and organize my ‘accumulation’. I’ve got lots of that, I promise you!
bai everyone
PS it was 36 today and that = HOT HOT HOT!

I don't know the actual addresses yet but when I do you'll know too! I'm going to have a large family by the end of this trip! A minimum of four, but I have a feeling it will be more.
Oh I heard more about the train accident. Gossipish so I don't know if it's true but I guess the high school student fell asleep and then fell into the train... I don't know. And I also heard that there was also a second person, a 26 year old office worker who jumped but, unlike the student, was killed. My sister and I looked for something in the paper about it but there wasn't anything, maybe because it's common, I'm not sure.
Have fun in the sun everyone!
