Day 24 - Already screwing up

Today is a day where I talked a lot in Japanese, without really saying anything. First class was a dialogue class, where we practiced self introductions and introducing others. I thought we were over this, I guess I was wrong. I got saddled with a girl that I know is going to screw up, so I gotta not only prepare my portion of the dialogue, but also be ready to improvise when she inevitably messes up.

Right after that was lunch, which was another delicious day at the Curry place near campus. Easily becoming my favorite. But expensive. More than 800yen. But soooo good. I had lunch with Colleen, and we both went to class together as well. Some 2-3 level discussion class as well. The prof has really good energy though, and the other students do, too. It looks like it'll be my favorite this semester. Just from first impression.

Next was my other 3-4 honorifics class. This one was fun. And by fun, I mean me and half the class sat in a classroom waiting 20min before someone came in and told us the room had changed. To a building across campus. The prof was understanding, but still, really irritating, right? I got to listen to a bunch of stuff I didn't understand, then use some really casual Japanese terms. I guess we're practicing the opposite end of the spectrum before we go to more honorific/formal language. Sounds good to me, at least I've done some of this before.

Today I found out that I've forgotten to get my alien registration card, which I guess I need by friday at noon. I have class tomorrow. But I talked with mama and we're going to be able to get it. It was another really frustrating conversation/situation and I'm still having difficulties with Mama and cultural differences and not understanding each other so it's kinda sucked these past few days.

I also found out that my Econ hw is due tomorrow. Which is why this entry is so late, I was finishing up my writeup after dinner. Wasn't really hard, but like most Econ hw, it took a long time. Oh well, it's done now. Tomorrow isn't looking like a lot of fun, I have to come back here right after classes, but I'll try to make the best of it, and make up for it on Friday. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I have been taking some (none today though…) and I'll get them up eventually, I promise.
