This morning I got my Alien Registration Card (basically my government-issued photo ID saying that I'm not just on vacation, and also not in the country illegally, also known as a Gaijin card). It's really sparkly and shimmery. I want my photo ID at home to be so cool...
Since today we finally had Monday class, I think I finalized my course selection. I'll be taking Japanese 5 (of course), Special Relay Lectures (compulsory) , Learning from Museums, Reading Japanese Novels, Dynamics of Japanese Cultural History, Japanese Literature, Culture and Film, and Japan's External Relations.
Classes in Japan tend to be (and all of mine are, except Japanese) a small number of credits each, meeting only once a week, so you have to take, as in my case, at least seven (or eight or nine). I did end up with class every day, but I'm done at noon on Tuesdays and Fridays, which is pretty pro.
Should be good, though. I'll have seventeen credits, which is quite respectable, I think. I kind of want to take that history class, and there's also that class about Corporate Finance that was pretty good, but alas, I doubt that I can take more than 18 credits. Probably better, anyway. I do want to have time to do all kinds of other things.
Tomorrow is Chabashira! I'm excited. +D I told a bunch of friends about it, and now it seems that a lot of AIKOMsei will go this week... XD I'm sure the Chabashira folks will be pleased.
Finally, it's been decided that the AIKOMsei will sing Sangatsu Kokonoka at the upcoming dorm music festival. This beautiful , meaningful song is, in fact, one of my favorite songs ever... And I wasn't even the one who suggested it. XD I'm really looking forward it.
