Start of Classes

So it's 10:30 am here in Japan and guess what I'm doing? Sitting online because we don't have classes here until like 12:50 today. Can you believe I have to take 15 credits here in Japan? It's not fair I tell you. Basically it means that I'll be taking class continually from 10:00 to 4:00 everyday. And it gets dark here at like 5:00 or 5:30 so it's difficult to go to the grocery store. I live on a hill that's been termed the "hell slope" by the native Japanese because it has a 10% grade (slope) but I swear it gets steeper than that when you approach our building.

Basically all we do this week is show up to classes we think we might be interested in (ie ALL OF THEM) and then on friday we turn in a paper stating which classes we want to take the rest of the semester. Sounds like fun right? In other news I might have a phone soon! My tutor is going to take me tonight to see if I can't get one now instead of waiting another 2 weeks to get the thing. We'll see what happens you know? I'm supposed to be getting my bank card today. I guess I'll see if it shows up or not. I have to sign for it so I either have to go down to the post office to get it or I have to be there when the guy tries to deliver it. Which sucks because the mail runs here at like 2:00 and I'm supposed to be in class then. Still waiting on internet here, stealing it where I can, using stupid Japanese keyboards in the meantime. Hopefully I can sign up for internet soon (was supposed to do it sat. long story there) and then it apparently takes about a month to get it installed.

I'll update again soon, hopefully this time on my own computer when I can post up pictures. Jaa!
