More busy-work

Currently in the clusters doing animation. And wanting to kill every single squeelie girl around me. They won`t shut up! This is why I like working in my apartment on my own. No nuisances.

I actually think they are getting louder. The earphones kinda hurt now too.

Minor irritation. I don`t have much of a tolerance for it today. Hehe... oh well.

This weekend should be fun. First I am going with the school to Kamakura. And on Sunday to Tokyo Tower and Zojoji temple with Hashimoto-san, one of the guys I met in that international party at Shinjuku. He`s the only one I`ve kept in touch with since he lives in Atsugi too.

Yesterday I went to a new Japanese class. There is another class held in the engineering department for students who don`t know any Japanese at all. My teacher recommended I go to that. So I did. It`s like taking Japanese I for the 3rd time. We were doing days of the year. And then... iru vs. aru.

But I like that class for its environment. Very friendly and open like back at CMU. That class is 30 lessons long which is divided up into 3 semesters. This is the only one offered this semester... and it`s the first section.

So it`s bad timing for me, that`s all.

There is a huge gap between this Japanese class and the one I registered for.

But afterwards, these two international students from Bangladesh took me and Jyun to the gym to check it out (I didn`t even know we had one... hence the interest). But lo... a weight room and some courts. No one uses it it seems. The machines were dusty.

But I found archery!

A little too late though. There is an archery club here. But I think clubs might be serious business or something... I`m not sure. Still... I want to play.

After goofing around the gym, we went to a creek to try and catch fish, which essentially meant the two guys tried to spear fish with sticks. Me... I had fun just wading around in the water. It was really cool to me. I had no idea these things were around (The creek is off campus though... part of the nearby rice fields).

But yeah, silliness and just hanging out.

I did meet another professor though, I`m not sure of his name but it doesn`t matter since I`ll likely never see him again (he`s with the engineering department and the art and engineering majors are very separated here). But he really enjoys talking to foreigners. After about 20 min w/ him... we had a group from China, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, America, and (for a short while) Taiwan. Everyone asking him questions since most of them were sciences too.

Still, that was like, the entirety of the international students right there. Not a big crowd, but still. Neat.

Anyways, this entry is to keep my sanity while the girls continue squeeling. Back to work for me.

Photos next time, I promise. I took some at AIC, just haven`t uploaded them yet.
