The family packed and took away my kimonos and obis, so I went and bought more online... Two items were delivered today, and four more will arrive on April 1st. I'd picked a really nice obi that I thought would go really well with the beautiful reddish-purple kimono I have. Unless it'll be too matchy-matchy. I can't figure out the proper way to ( Read more... )

Today I was called to write an essay in class on the theme "My japanese language". "Write about how your japanese has changed since you came to Waseda", the teacher adviced. Like the perfectly obedient student I am, I did what I was told.

( Here's approximately what I wrote... )

Because I should write my essay before I miss my deadline (in one hour and 15 minutes), but it's boring and I don't know why I didn't just write it about Koushi like I always do but it's too late now because I don't have time to write a new one about him even if I wanted to so suck it up, I'm going to write instead that if there's a spelling ( Read more... )

It's the exam week in Waseda! Yay!

Only about two weeks until it's Spring vacation! Whoop!

I have to make up for stuff I've missed for the class I hate the most here. I guess it's better than failing though. The teacher suggested that I take another class next year and cancel this one. But if it's a passing grade, it's all the same what grade I get. And no way am I cancelling a class that's made me get up at 7 on so many Tuesday mornings ( Read more... )

I'd thought that the swine flu came to Japan in the Summer, left, and never came back. But apparently it either never really left, or it came back. In any case, it's hit the Waseda international dorms. While having swine flu is a valid excuse to be absent from class, not wanting to have fuck-all to do with any dorm-living assholes as a preventive ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a good while. Mostly because nothing much has happened, I guess. I go to class, I come home and sit at the comp. I cook myself something to eat and drink copious amounts of cold coffee latte. I email with Koushi. I stay up ridiculously late ( Read more... )

Today was the traditional Waseda-Keio baseball match. We got our asses handed to us. 2-11... There's another match tomorrow, and if Waseda gets beaten again, people are going to get pretty damn drunk. In truth, it really doesn't matter whether Waseda wins or loses, either way it's time to drink heavily. Cheering was pretty fun. I didn't know the ( Read more... )

Today I found that not only do I really hate the pronounciation class I registered for but also that I made some grave error in choosing my classes way back when. This means that there's nothing I can drop and I still need to take one more class. This pisses me off to no end. Especially so, since I'd already picked my classes and checked that there ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the Ghibli-museum. It was quite strange. But I bought some cute things at the museum shop that I suppose the people at home will appreciate. At the museum I realized that I had barely eaten. This realization made me feel faint. As I paid for my shopping at the counter I complained to Kimura (nice dude, see if you can get him ( Read more... )
