Hey ya peeps!
Can you believe I already have 20 posts? This one, of course, being the 20th post. Anyway, there is so much to tell you about Japan and about my first full week of school, but.....sadly.....I do not have the time today. That is because I am leaving soon to go to a ryokan (Japanese inn). This ryokan also has an onsen (hotspring bath), you know, like one of those public baths that all of us American fear greatly?
With that being said, I maybe able to write up a couple of posts tomorrow when I am back from my trip. I have already started a post on hanko (Japanese signature stamps) and maybe I can start one about my weekend trip. :D
In regards to my week, there's not much to say. School started and I got to go to a district called Mitaka for Campus Crusade for Christ's mid-week meeting. They call the meeting "IMPACT" since it is easier for the Japanese to say. Also, it carries quite a message and reminder of their work in Japan. Since I first came to Japan through Campus Crusade in 2010, I already knew some of the staff and students there, so it was really fun to see old friends again. They are, in fact, why I chose to apply for the CSU's Tokyo study abroad program over their other study abroad program.
So Thursday night was really nice. But the week has been...well....stressful because of the new environment. I had heard a lot about Japanese schools prior to coming, so I knew that they are really competitive. Also, I was not sure about how kind and understanding the professors would be. Now I know! The profs. I have are really, really nice. The classes will be a lot of work, but now I can relax and enjoy school here in Japan.
Aww....my time is up! I have some cleaning to do before I leave, so my post will have to end here.
Til next time, later peeps!
