First Day of Soph Skool

I can't even begin to describe how it went.
It could be disastrous, depressing, fascinating or just plain normal like meh.

Rush hour at train stations is so extreme; they have train supervisors stationed outside doors with the purpose to push remaining passengers inside the doors. So I had to experience that twice today; once in the morning and once in the afternoon, nearly evening. But the fucked up thing is that if I want to avoid that, I have to choose modules in the third period because all the second period slots are already taken up by Japanese and first starts at 9.15, right after rush hour and the 4th ends at 4.45, right before rush hour so I get double joy in a coconut shell. And there aren't many to choose from in the first place ):

Nearly everyone in DK was cranky this morning 'cause we had to wake up before 7 in order to prepare and leave the house before 8 to be able to reach school on time. Even so, I missed the class 'cause wtf I found the classroom but the door couldn't open and there weren't any signs regarding classroom change. So whatever, I just skipped it and went to rot at the computer lab before Japanese at 11am.

I remembered watching an episode of BOSS, where the Boss herself said that Toda Erika's character wasn't even an adult yet 'cause she was sporting 'tea-coloured' hair. And sure enough, that makes sense 'cause nearly every college girl I met on campus and anywhere else had brown hair, in the same shade. Seriously, did they use the same DIY hair-dye or something? And I've been hearing plenty of 'ee, maji de?!' and 'kawaiiiiii!!!' In any other city, it would be poserish but here, it's the norm and meh you can't criticize it anyway 'cause this is where it originated and anyone else who doesn't actually speak or know Japanese but uses those phrases are just act-seh or act cute only.

So Japanese class.
The sensei said there were 43 people enrolled in this level and hence, we had to be split into two classes, by jankenpon wtf. The losers had to go to the classroom on the 5th floor and the winners got to stay in the classroom we were in. Everyone from DK in that class lost lol. Actual lessons have yet to start and we have a test tomorrow already :D
Oh, and I finally met the other Melbie in my class. Name's Michael. Law/Commerce. 5th year. Koganei Dorm, same as Stanley, another Melbie.

I went to buy my Japanese books during lunch break. Ran into the guy in my orientation group there. He called me by the wrong name, but I didn't even remember his name.

Third period.
Creative Writing.
The teacher has so many expressions; he can easily pull several in a single phrase. And he speaks out of random sometimes. While he was busy talking, I was already brainstorming on stores I could write about him lol.
Alot of work though that class, and none in Japanese. So I was wondering whether I should take it; it's not like I haven't 'studied' creative writing before. But that class was slotted right in between Japanese and Intro to Kanbun (which I'm going to take) so unless I just use the extra 3 hours in between to do something else more constructive, I might end up taking it ):

Intro to Kanbun was pretty straightforward.
The sensei asked us to fill out a questionnaire and she interviewed us individually. That was it.

The ride home was pretty smooth.
I think I actually like travelling on my own sometimes; quite peaceful (mentally)

The N'EX is up!
It's the new train that travels directly to Narita Airport from Shinjuku (and other stations). I'm psyched 'cause that means when I go back in February, it'd be more convenient :D at least I'd know how I'd be going anyway.

Meh more classes tomorrow ):
Another 4 periods back to back, then I can finally decide which ones I'm gonna do.

K cheers~
