最初の月...っえ、違う、火曜日なの？

Could have sworn this was Monday >_< Days are getting less eventful, so I may take to compressing several days' worth of stuff into a single entry soon. In terms of the time difference things are getting better, not waking up so much but still not sleeping enough. Orientation sessions today about student life, what to do in an earthquake, being sure to sort rubbish correctly and the like. Also did course registration - in addition to Japanese I shall be taking "Japanese Culture and Tea Ceremony," "Classical Japanese" and "Japanese Religions." Though I'm not sure when classes start, though - Thursday for Japanese, maybe next week for the others? I'm sure I'll get told at some point.

Was given a quick tour of the campus, some interesting places around that I didn't know about before - shops, different cafés, the library and so on. Then, just as I was feeling rather weak and tired, there was a welcome party with free food! I stuffed myself full of as much sushi, tempura, sandwiches, spring rolls, and other things I don't even know the name of as I could handle. All thoroughly delicious; I shall be looking out for certain dishes again so I can find out what they are and where to get them. FYI, in Japan a lot of restaurants have plastic copies of the items on their menu outside on display, so finding "that thing I had at the party" is not such a daunting task as it may at first seem.

My next order of the day was to go to the Ward Office to pick up my National Health Insurance card. I decided to try walking there, but thanks to a travel map and the Hammond travel compass I managed to walk there and back, using the underground stations as landmarks. I felt so proud ^_^! I'm beginning to feel a bit more comfortable speaking Japanese, so I may do alright after all. Want to study up lots and try to get into the higher class... Over and out!

Here's the Library
