Checking In

Okay guys, I'm back but have need to keep this post brief. This week held very few surprises for me. To few trips were made and classes have, for the most part, kept me busy.

The school hosted an opening ceremony for all of us ryugakusei and my was it a formality. It seems to me that the Japanese have a taste for it as all of us were crammed into the Multimedia center and had speech after speech delivered to us. The highlight of it all was, as it usually is, the free luncheon given to us at the end. Silver linings, right?

Classes play out much like how they do back home with a given schedule time and class rules. The Japanese teachers expect you to speak in the language they are teaching you while the others don't really care as to how you answer so long as you answer.

So far, I've enrolled in two Japanese classes, and two focused on Japanese literature and films respectively. Already I've watched one film called Swallowtail Butterfly. I heavily endorse it as an artistic movie.

And now I apologize as this is all I can come up with at the moment. Look forward to this weekend as I plan to go to Osaka.
