First Week


The first week is always the hardest—not to mention disorganized and wearying as you try to adjust from your lavish winter break schedule to your new school schedule with 9am classes. I admit, right now it’s looking pretty nice. I’m in Advanced Sumi-e, Japanese classes that will actually challenge me, and a Survey of Japanese Art. I’m also considering taking a class on Pacific relations, but am still unsure.

I swear sometime this month or next month I will do another installment on the wonder of the Japanese bathroom. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, more luxurious than the Japanese ofuro (bathtub) which is, as I have said before, designed for soaking. There is an added bonus of the fact that it heats you up when you’re living in a household with no central heating. Don’t worry—I’m not sleeping in the bathtub, though sometimes I feel like drifting off.

Anyways, my family is pretty cool—more on them later. I’d write more, but I have yet another test on Monday (and on my worst subject—kanji), and so I’m off to sleep and study~!
