I am alive

Wow, it has been a while. To be fair, I did not get internet until 2 days ago and it is a pain to blog on a public computer with people waiting for you. Anyways, I guess an update it needed.

- Placement test was horrible, results as well. I should have done a lot better but there is nothing to do about it right now. Basically, I am taking class 5 times a week (10:10 to 11:25) with an extra kanji class on Thursdays. Japanese class is kind of easy but hopefully it will get better. I guess I need to self-study in order to really improve my language ability.

- I also have my professor's zemi (seminar) Monday morning around 8:45. So earlyyyyyyyyy. And I don't understand what is happening either. Oh well, hopefully I will be able to understand the class later on.

- I am really glad that I have the Taiwanese student connection to utilize. They have been a life saver and really helped with with most of my questions. There was supposed to be a Moon Festival BBQ for Taiwanese students last Saturday but it was canceled because of rain (the only time it did all week!). Sad, lost a chance to meet other people and get a free meal. Unfortunately, the Taiwanese students are probably the only people I know right now. I need to meet other people, but it is hard when there are not that many opportunities, especially regarding meeting Japanese students.

- Speaking of Taiwanese students, I got dragged in playing volleyball with them, despite the fact that I have not played since high school PE class. It is kind of fun, but I really suck at it. We'll see how it goes later in the year.

I have more to say, but I'll leave it for later.
