Tick Tock Tick Tock
It has been an entire month since I first stepped into this very campus from which I am typing this post. Well, I usually only write in the comfort of my home where no one can see what I am typing, but since I have time while I am waiting for my group project meeting, I am doing this in the Computer Lab with an almost invisible font (which I will change before posting). But that's another thing.1 month ago, exactly on the 23rd of August, I stepped into the school for orientation completely not knowing where anywhere is. time seemed to have passed... hmm, it was fast at some points but then again it was slow at some.
In a nutshell, I have joined a bazillion clubs and I'm going for the Dance one tonight. It starts at 8.45 and ends at 10.45pm so I'll probably reach home close to midnight as it is held in the other campus in the South.
I have the greatest satisfaction from Japanese classes, so I have to say that Japanese is my favorite class for the semester. Those classes always seem to pass so quickly especially from Mondays to Fridays when Sakamoto sensei is teaching. It is very early in the morning and I have been late several times but always only by less than 5 minutes. We also have tutorials with Japanese students studying here, and it is really helpful because there are only a maximum of 3 students with 1 Japanese student and we can ask questions we did not get to ask in class or clarify things with them. The amazing thing is that they don't receive any credit and yet they volunteer to help other students taking Japanese. We also get extra credit if we attend a certain number of tutorials so that is a major motivating factor.
I am really bad at making friends and I think about a lot of things before I even call someone a friend. So if you ask me if I have made new friends here, I would have to say that I am on friendly terms with some, but I wouldn't exactly call them my friends.
Japanese classes are really interactive so I have spoken to pretty much everyone in the class. I have spoken to some about animes and what we watch. I have spoken to some about general stuff like homework and weekends. I have spoken to some just to practice our Japanese. And then, there is Dance were there is another Singaporean (we are pretty much the only ones there) so we got to small talking and stuff like that. It started out because of a partner floorwork, and my hair color. There are people in my Outdoor Adventure club that I talk to but, again not on the deeper level. We usually just talk about how Singapore is different from Buffalo, and what we see in Buffalo and such. Things like how we do not see deers crossing the roads in Singapore or how lands are reclaimed there.
I have set the smoke detector off once but otherwise managed to make food for myself pretty decently. People party a lot here. Like every week there would be someone partying around the estate.
The weather is getting colder but still kind of crazy where one day it could be 3 degrees and the next it is 22 degree. Internet here is pretty good but torrenting is taken a lot more seriously than in Singapore.
And after the entire month, I still have one more day of the vacation trip we took in US and many more days from the Italy trip because I'm a lazy ass like this. Till next time, ciaos. I'm hungry.
