whelp, it's been a spell, and i want to get an entry out before the big one about tomorrow's trip, so i shall detail my uneventful (except for the part about being in japan and meeting 10 new people every day) week's goings on. i needs me a phone. i needs me a phone because i want to know where the hell everyone's been all week long during the day. it seems like i'm the only one here with nary a damn thing to do all day long. i want to take the train into town or go for a big long walk somewhere, but it's not too terribly fun on my own, so for the middle parts of the days this week, i've been mostly wandering the campus. i only have three classes, two of which have no homework whatsoever, and all the japanese students i talk to take about 20 credits with heavy reading in english in every class, so it's them working their asses off and me plodding.
so that part stunk, but there's been some good stuff. i joined the guitar club, and i might learn some actual chords instead of making them up. i watched some more taiko practice, falling in love with every badass who stepped up to whack the drum. i tried to help start a photography club, which may die a very unnoticed death. i guess i'm officially in the running for mr. aiu, whatever the hell that means. i've been answering yes to every question beginning "would you like to..." so there may be some hairy weirdness (aside from my fugly arse) i find myself wrapped up in. i'll be volunteering at a booth for the school festival next month, doing somesuch and sundry. so yeah, not too dang bad for not knowing what the hell i've jumped into from one minute to the next, i guess. send lots of letters, i'm taping them to the wall under my bed, and i've got lots of room left. i'm going to bed now, gotta get up extra early to go climb a damn mountain. oya sumi.
