Post- Golden Week

Last Weekend was the best ^_^ I spent most of my time in Osaka, starting by eating out with the Osaka UFS newbies, and also Yuki with Hee Jeung who'd come down from Tokyo. I didn't realise how much I missed Kura Sushi until I stepped in there again with a large group of people.

I spent most of my time with Adeline, Yun Jung and Ruo Lin though. Adeline is from Brunei, she studied Literature in MD too and I'd like to think that we click pretty well. Yun Jung is from Korea- very sweet girly-girl who probably likes dressing up as much as Adeline. They make the perfect puri-kura pair, I think. Ruo Lin, at first, looks very serious, but she's really cool to be with and knows how to have fun. Oh, she's from Malaysia ^_^

I don't particularly want to go into so much detail but Golden Week was so fun... I feel ready to sit down and start seriously studying no...

Probably about time, too. My language classes are starting to move more quickly and homework is starting to weigh something.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. It didn't really hit until last night, but people! I am in a 4-year Undergraduate course and I'm o nly in my 2nd month i.e 1st year freshmen i.e I'm due to graduate in 2010... o_O I'm going to be 22 (turning 23) when I graduate! I'm still going to be license-less... while the rest of the friends whom I'd grown up with will probably already be working full-time... oh my goodness!

Golden Week agaaain

Happy Happy Happy! There's a five-day holiday starting tomorrow! I feel like jumping on the train to Osaka again right away!

So what has happened since my last post? I got through half-way the assignment and I just leeched off the rest of the information from my classmate in class! They're such sweethearts! I don't know what I'd do without them. ^_^ That was one huge load off my shoulders, the teacher even slows down her talking speed when she comes and talks to me (助かったよ!) So that was a happy ending ^_^

But of course, not all my classes are this nice -_-; I have a lecture about State & Law and I have no clue what the teacher is saying almost all of the time. Grr... Ah, I just have to live with it under Summer Hols anyway... then I am SO not taking that class again -_-;;

THEN last weekend I gave myself a treat by jumping on that train back to Osaka! I spent the weekend with Adeline (Brunei), Yun Jung (Korea) and Rou Lin (Malaysia), they're doing the course I was doing last year now. Oh, we had so much fun, I was basically so exhausted I could barely move when I came back to Kobe. We went to Namba, walked all the way back to Shinsaibashi, stopping at an all-you-can-eat for 90 minutes, pasta & cakes... (yes, I know, not the healthiest thing BUT!) There was a party that night, Yuri, a Research student from Ukraine, had his birthday party... Yeah, then we went to Umeda the next day and just took it easy, visiting Kinokuniya and Yodobashi camera...

And I guess today or tomorrow I'm going back there (to Osaka) again! Ah, I love Golden Week.

Reading troubles

So I was assigned a class for Seminar, and I like the teacher. I like all the students there too, they're all very nice. But oh.my.goodness- the homework I received! I was surprised enough that I Had homework, given during the first lesson too- I was almost reminded of Mr Singh's class in MD -_-;;

In anycase, that first week's homework was relatively easy, it was just a piece we had to research on... but oh boy did I feel so low when I sat in the second week's class and realised every one else had researched to the tiniest details... ^_^; I smelled trouble.

At the end of the second (last week's) class, we were given homework again. It was to summarise this A3 size, 8 page essay on an aspect of the Japanese language... of course it was written in Japanese (O.O;) Oh boy...

So I used my entire weekend to try and read it... and out of 8 pages, how much did I get done? 2 and a half pages... I am in deeeeep trouble. Haha... what am I going to dooooooooooo....? ^_^;
