はたちになりました!I am now 20 years old!

I am officially a legal adult! ...well in Japan that is. One more year for legal age in America.

Normally when people ask me if I feel older when it is my birthday, I will say that I don't really feel any different, I am just the same as I was yesterday and the day before that. However, this time, I actually feel the difference in no longer being a teenager. I got a new haircut and some cute new clothes and I feel that it definitely helps me to portray my maturity.

*Flashback to a week or so before my birthday*
I decided I wanted to get my hair cut so I went to a Japanese hair salon called AXIS hair salon. The service here was so similar to that of the hair salon I went to with my  mom in Japan, I was treated so well. I felt like a Queen! My hairstylist did such a wonderful job with my haircut. I got EXACTLY what I wanted.

Here is my wonderful hairstylist! She was so great. It was nice being able to speak with her in Japanese as well. It made me feel right at home. AXIS hair salon also caters to non-Japanese speakers as well, but they are able to accommodate those who may only speak Japanese.

Now for clothes...
Recently I have not been able to dress up as often as I would like or at least wear "normal" clothes. I have been wearing scrubs or a nursing student uniform almost every day of the week. 

Yawn..I am getting a bit tired now so I think this will have to continue on another post. 
Tah-tah for now my dears.
Good night~
