Sakura Pictures!

I went to Oji-koen (a zoo) on the 14th (I think), with TRUSS members of Kobe-U. They're a group of people who usually set up gatherings or parties or just stuff to help out foreign students (a real fun bunch of people)... and here are the pictures! Enjoy!

I know how you guys just loooove my pictures, no? Hahahah (^_~)

The pavement of the above picture is actually grey... those are sakura petals carpeting the ground. It was SO nice!

Classes!

I thought that classes from second year on would be easier than the first but it isn't. There are more things to read, more reports to write... I should have focused more on improving my Japanese last year =_=;

I haven't updated in so long for several reasons. Hopefully from now on I can update more...

All I can give you for the moment is what my schedule looks like... See if you can taste the weirdness of my situation (hahahahah and by the way, I just met my French teacher, Richard Delrieu (sp?) and all I could reply to him saying "avec les printemps..." was "oui... ... ... tres bien!" =_= wish I could have said something more intellectual... ...)

Monday!

3rd period = Seminar.
(The heaviest of all my classes I think. The worst thing? If I don't pass this... I might not graduate =_=)

Tuesday!

1st = Cultures and Societies in Japan (with an English native teacher... I lucked out!)
2nd = Contemporary Economics
3rd = Modern and Contemporary Japanese Society
4th = Formation of Translation Culture ... (?)

Wednesday!

nada *big smile*

Thursday!

1st = Food and Health
2nd = Media Culture
3rd = Contemporary America
4th = Culture of Letters ... (?) (mostly about kanji)
5th = Beginner's Korean

Friday =

1st = Foreign Language seminar (I took English heehee)
2nd = Symbiosis of a Wide Are of Cultures (?? hahaha, but this IS a very interesting class)
4th = (a necessary English class which I managed to squeeze my way out of in exchange with writing a report)


So there you go! The names of these classes are weird-ish sometimes but they are interesting. My favorite has to be Media Culture. You should look up Michel Foucoult for his essay on mimesis (I think) called "Of Other Spaces" or in it's original language "Des Espaces Autres". It kind of discombobulated me. Hahahaha... anyway! I gotta run now! Laterrr!
