Orientation, Day 2

Today's orientation was long, but essentially uneventful. They basically went over the rules and procedures of the school. We were, however, lectured on how to protect ourselves from the perverts out there, and also the lingerie thieves. It was... pretty hilarious. But yes, boyfriend/dad, I promise to take the warnings seriously =]

I only have two pictures to show you from today.

Supa kawaii folder I bought!

I am very excited for classes to start. They basically guaranteed that we'd be put into Japanese 201 (the lowest level), but we have to take the placement test anyway I guess =P They meet 5 times a week, so we can be sure to learn Nihongo super fast! Yay! There were two other classes we're taking for sure, which is Japanese Culture (Flower arrangement, tea ceremony, etc.) and Contempory Topics (more modern stuff). And then there's a third class we can take that's Japanese Culture taught in English that isn't necessarily for exchange students. So, that should be fun.

Oh! And they mentioned a paid teaching assistant position! For teaching English. How exciting is that?!

Tonight my boarding house is going to our landlord's for dinner. His name is Yogo-san and he doesn't speak any English. This will be interesting ^_^

Ja ne, for now!
