I spent the day in classes again today. That's how it's gonna be for the next few months, I guess. Today was Conversational Grammar and Expressions, Practicing Natural Conversation, and Formal and Informal Expressions. All in Japanese, and all seem to be manageable so far. I actually learned some new things today. Like, the word for Whale in Japanese is くじら、pronounced Kujura. A lot of the classes are still in the introduction and guidance stage, where they're trying to give a basic understanding of what to expect for the course, so you can decide whether or not to take it. The best part so far is I'm only going to need one book, and that one's a maybe still.
Had lunch at 7-11. The food there is much better than in the US. Had a couple of nikuman, and they were tasty enough, also pretty cheap. Spending about $2.75 is a pretty good price for lunch. And far under the $10 I've allocated for lunch every day.
That's about it to my day. Checked out the campus book store. Books are way cheaper here, I may end up spending less than $100 even for two or three books. Still looking for a cheap version of Harry Potter in Japanese…
Came home early, and spent my afternoon looking at prices of flag poles and silks. It looks like it'd cost at least $30 to ship anything here. Maybe I'll find a place here that sells them. There are actually marching bands in Japan, just like in the US. Not that I don't get that blank staring look from anyone I mention it to…
I have an early class tomorrow. Hopefully I won't sleep through my alarm again. It's hard getting onto a school schedule. (Z_Z)
