Boredom and an Expedition to Kawasaki Station

[shinigami_kiss]

Sooo I'm in Class 3-F for Japanese. Registration is a gigantic confusing hassle and there's no way I can explain it in pages and pages and pages, but there are 4 different levels you can place into for the Japanese classes here, 1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest. But, no matter what new students cannot place into the 4th level (because

Actually my phone was only 5000 yen... I don't think that's bad at all. : D

I am having fun XDD although I will probably regret saying that in a couple of weeks when the homework starts piling up...but the Europeans are nice! I like talking to them and sometimes going out with them but...they drink too much x_x

Yeah almost all us have class on Saturday T_T oh well, like I said at least I "technically" have a weekend XD;

You have to get a Shiro-tan too!!! XD

Akira is very ditsy like Su...hahaha It's hard to explain...he just says random stupid things and then I stare at hime for a couple of minutes before bursting out laughing.

The new Nana (vol.16) came out September 15th! So there are still massive stacks EVERYWHERE. I wonder when Nana and Furuba will end though...they are too long...x_x

But, my point is that all of the classes are from 9:00-12:15 (GAH! there is a 15 minute break at 10:30 but still), but each of the classes has a different day off. So while everyone has Sunday off, my class is on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, meaning I get Mondays and Wednesdays off. Not bad...and at least I get a two day weekend. I think no matter what level and class you're in it's impossible to get a three day weekend. Plus, there's MASSIVE homework (we got homework on Friday and classes didn't start til today/Monday...AWESOME. Every Japanese person who heard/saw that was amazed, because they said stuff like that isn't supposed to happen anymore once you're in college) so I think having a day off in the middle of the week is nice.

...OUCH.

I think I'm going to die studying in Japan. >_>;;

After that I headed down to McDonald's for an early lunch. Regardless of what anyone else at my dorm says, McDonald's Japan is a different experience, because each country's McDonald's sells at least one thing that isn't sold at

Haha well I'd known from before I got here that the school I am going to is hell on earth in terms of classes, so it's not all that unexpected...but I'm sure you'll be fine~ : D

But yeah...Filipino McDonald's also has McSpaghetti (Filipino style) XD

But so far not so much of a workout, although I expect it'll start kicking my ass since I feel like right now it seems just right. Oh well -- gotta try my best! ^_^;

What sorts of classes are you taking, exactly?

But yeah...Filipino McDonald's also has McSpaghetti (Filipino style) XD

Yeah, I saw that too when I was in the Phils. I stuck with chicken nuggets, but I got a rice ball with that in addition to my fries, so...XD

Hmm since the first week of classes they have a special schedule where they split a normal period into half and teach the same lesson twice within that one period, we can audit whatever classes we're thinking of taking and then we just have to decided by the end of the week. I'll post later on what I'm taking once I fully decide, but in general most of my classes are Japanese language, but I'm deciding on two English courses as well (Comparison of Management Systems in Japan to the West, and Japanese Psychology).

[neonblue]

I guess you already had your first day of class, huh? How was it? What other non-language classes are you taking?

Oh oh, and what's your e-mail address for your phone? I wanna send you mail! :3

[shinigami_kiss]

First day of class was pretty good! I feel like the level of the material is just right, although everyone else in my class seems so so so much better than me... x_x But yeah, I'll post my schedule around the end of the week once I've fully decided.

Andddd my email address is ljacob@docomo.ne.jp

Not the most creative, but at least it doesn't have gazillion numbers and hyphens and what not in it. XD
