Blog University

Well yesterday was the first day of having classes other than Japanese. Now this marks the beginning of me loosing all my free time to studying and work, but if I don't sleep hard enough I imagine I'll still find time for stuff.

Anyway I imagine that you'd like to hear about my first day of classes, or maybe you DON'T want to hear about them but you'll at least have to read about them if you read this blog. Anyway so after not getting quite enough sleep I somehow managed get to class even though my alarm clock died before it went off. Class was class and then I went out and FINALLY bought an umbrella and then got some lunch. After that I got back and arrived for the new classes. This is where the fun part begins if I didn't scare you off earlier in the paragraph.

So I arrived in my first class. This class is taught by two teachers. This first one showed up. She seemed somewhat interesting, but then the other teacher turned out to be very cool. He worked for Sony for nearly thirty years, and during class he asked us out for drinks at least four times.

After that we had a break because the religion class was canceled, though I don't think I'll be taking that class.

Then we had our compulsory class, which was OK but seems mostly like a counseling class. Apparently because of the Northridge people, we have write an essay every week that doubles as their blog. I can't imagine writing about my experiences week after week. I think that would drive me crazy.

The last class we had was with the guy from Sony again. Yet again he said we should go drinking. This class was also very interesting. It was about the Japanese way of thinking and how that differs from the American way of thinking. He personally selected or wrote all the materials he expects us to read, and they all seemed much more interesting than a lot of the stock stuff we have to read in American colleges.

So yeah I didn't really do a good job of making it exciting, mostly because I've been writing this in pieces throughout the day when I couldn't think of anything better to do, but my first day of full classes was pretty fun. Perhaps now I'll do something else.
