Time is really ticking down. Everything is slowly falling into place. I'll be living in Ontakesan Dorm. It's a single room with a communal bathroom, kitchen and living/social area. The room comes with the bed, desk, chair, refrigerator, tv, carpet, and air conditioning.
I dropped one of my classes so now I'll be taking 4 classes, for 13 credits. I'm taking Japanese, Japanese Culture, Intro to World Music, and Social Psychology. They all sound like they'll be decent.
We had our pre-departure meeting a few weeks ago. Met a few of the people going, had some questions answered, and got really excited. We will be having a few 4 day weekends throughout the semester which I am looking forward to taking advantage of and travel around the area. Temple has some already set up excursions that I will be getting a list of.
I bought some travel books on Tokyo and Japan, as well as a Japanese phrasebook. I downloaded some language lessons to try and learn from my computer. Man, it really is a difficult language. It also doesn't help that when I try to look up the words I learn in my lessons in my phrasebook, some of them are completely different. I don't know which is the correct word to use.
Now it is the time to start making lists, cleaning, and packing. These next couple of weeks are going to fly by.
