Brief update

So, I am not writing as many entries, or entries as long as I used to. There are of course several reasons for this, I can get quite busy with schoolwork, and probably now that some of the culture shock has passed things that might have surprised me before don't really surprise me now. Well, I did recently discover that in addition to selling cold drinks, some of the machines actually keep the cans worm and sell hot tea in cans. Now, its been one month into the semester and people will sometimes tell me that it will be over before I know it. This is not something that needs to be repeated to me, I never thought of a semester as being a long time.

Now I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea that a lack of entries means that I am in any way bored. The people and the campus community here make it very hard to ever be bored. I rarely stay in my room for too long, simply because it gets boring and I want to go out, go to a lounge, see if I meet anyone. Today is my first 'free friday' in quite a while. Generally I go somewhere on a Friday, like to an elementary school or just into the city. I will go into the city tonight, however, I should probably keep in the back of my mind to plan something on Fridays. Other people have class during the day, so it can be quite boring after I'm done sleeping in and there is nobody around. Well that's it for now, the AIU Festival that I mentioned before is coming up on October 11-12th and a lot of the Japanese students are busy preparing for it. I will try to take a lot of pictures, and hopefully will have a nice blog entry too.
