eeeeyyyy
School started Monday. It's different from SFSU, but not so much. My Japanese class is challenging and for some reason the teacher likes to pick on me. The first day of class, she asked me if I understood anything, if I was okay. I told her I can understand most of her Japanese, but can't speak it. Today, when it was my turn to answer a question, she made it seem like my answer was wrong, then asked the entire class what they thought, hands raised. Usually a teacher does that when the answer is wrong, but mine was right, so she'd burst into a "そうです！” or "You got it!" in English. Her sudden change in expression scared the crap out of me. Today we did a little show and tell. I showed and told my cell phone. nervous. choppy. bad. but oh well! The class is Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 9am to 12:10pm, which means I have to ride the busy trains in the morning. I try to wake up at 6:30 or 7:00, eat breakfast, then run to the station. I try to board the commuter train (faster), then get on another train and another, then walk to class. The campus is weird too. It's all hidden. Anyways, the trains are crowded. It hurts to breathe. A girl was being shoved in the other day by one of the train shovers. haha! ahhh!
What else? I'm taking a crappy translation class. It's crappy because there are way too many people in the class, we only have two translation pieces, I rarely have to go to class etc. I like the Chinese Philosophy and Religion class cuz the teacher is passionate and just plain awesome. power. Linguistics is strange. I have yet to take the Oral Conversation class. Yea... it's college, but I'm very limited.
I can't just read the bulletins or go see a sports game or join a club or find a place to chill, to eat, to study.. I can't just run into someone and say "hey!" It's really hard. I have to think about everything before I can do anything... not so easygoing. I get lost too much. I'm too nervous, too anxious, too quiet. *sigh*
I have home work... enough to keep me busy, but I don't have class tomorrow, so I'm trying to decide how to spend my time. Is typing in livejournal the right thing to do at this moment? Am I satisfied? ergh... I have to make such a big effort to make friends. The process wears me out.
About the boy. He's with a Chinese girl who just recently broke up with her boyfriend. He can't concentrate when there are girls in a room. He's still my friend, but slowly and surely breaking away from the group. He easily makes conversation with people... very outgoing. I need to study hard. yeah so.. I need to organize.
Ja, Ne.
