Everything is moved in, unpacked, and I've yet to get just miserably lost on campus, so I would call this progress in the right direction. I'd forgotten how the other half lives space-efficient Japanese dorm rooms can be. It's a far cry from the dorms at King's Acadamy. I know for sure that I'll be investing in a feather mattress lest I develop severe back problems later in life.
Father has it in his head that I should be attending this festival that everyone has been talking about. It would be a good way for me to "reacclimate myself to Japanese culture" and he'll "have my best kimono sent," and so on and so forth. As usual, Mother played devil's advocate and just told me to have fun and take pictures. Misfortune befell my last camera, but the camera in my phone should be enough to appease her.
Waking up at 5:30 doesn't work for me - just to set the record straight. Whoever decided this roommate arrangement was the best possible for us has a twisted mind.
