Day 73 and 74: "To do-list" and School lunch!

Hello!

Sunday 19th of April

Do you know the feeling? You want a day just to be lazy and relax, but when you finally get it you feel quilty for not doing anything? Haha! That's what my stupid brain does to me :P Well, I actually got to do stuff I needed to do like; vaccum clean my room, wash my clothes, go grocery shopping, buy other stuff I need, exercise and do homework. Jimmy was busy making his own game for the Ludum Dare (http://ludumdare.com/compo/2015/04/15/welcome-to-ludum-dare-32/). 

Monday 21st of April

I really hate having 08.50 class, because I have to get up at 06:30 the latest (because I'm so slow). My bus goes 07:55 from SeisekiSakuragaoka station and it takes 40 minutes to school. I prefer this over train because then I don't have to transfer. Today I had Japanese Language and Society and I really like this class! The teacher is nice and he has a lot of knowlegde. He mostly speaks during lecture so it's important to pay attention and write notes continuously. The good thing is that he repeats the important parts more than once. This way I feel I can take good notes while he talks.

From a list he choose a person to answer a question and I got called:
Teacher: "Miss Korneliussen"
Me: "Vicky is fine"
Teacher: "thank you"

He also said that even if he is a linguist (or works with linguistic) he still think names in other language are difficult to pronounce.

For the question part, I did answer it correctly. It was about one of the main reasons it's difficult to say how many dialects there are in Japan. We also had a tiny quiz today, but I think everyone got it right.

I had some stuff to do after class so I first had lunch at the school cafeteria, it was so cheap!

  I later ordered the textbook for this class, because the final is an open book exam. And I was so lucky to get help with that~

I also looked up some books at the library for other classes, printet out some stuff at the computer center and then went home. Jimmy later came to visit ^_^

Day 71 and 72: Rafting, BBQ and Onsen

Hello!

Friday 17th of April

So today I had Sustainability Studies GEG (2. period) and Social Change in Japan (5.period). It's extremely boring to have such a huge gap between classes. Not only because it's a long time, but you get very tired. So even if you have homework to do/study you still get tired. In sustainability Studies we went through a lot of information and technical terms which I found quite hard. It's not too difficult when listening and reading, but when I have to answer a question it's a little more tricky. I actually told my teacher this after class, but she said I'm doing a good job :) I also asked if we could get the key words for next week's lecture so I can read up on the terms. She said it was a good idea and that she will do that from next week. 

Almost everyone was tired for 5.period. Penny and I actually took a nap before class, but I didn't fall alseep though. Then we had, a somewhat, boring class. It may be because I don't have any backround information on the subject of Soscial Change in Japan. But we did get a printout to read for next class so maybe it will be more interesting~ 

After class a small group from the house went out to eat chinese food. Good taste, but way too expensive for the small portions, and dry duck D: 

 After eating I surprised Jimmy by visiting ^_^ Not like "on the door"-surprise, becuase I had to make sure he wasn't busy xD So we met in Shinjuku~

Saturday 18th of April

11:40 we met in the hall and were ready to go! Where? TO GO RAFTING! :D 

 First we took trains from SeisekiSakuragaoka to Ome:

 Then it was time for mini bus!

Here is a screenshot of where we took the mini bus to

 At the rafting "center":

  It cost 3015 yen for both rafting and BBQ! So cheap!! :D

 We were lucky with the weather today <3

 Time for wetsuite!

 Pretty girls~

 My legs are too long!!! >___<;;;

A little game where we have to catch the paddle when we either move left or right:

I don't have any pictures during the rafting yet! I hope to get them soon! We were 7 in one boat and the rafting lasted for 1-1.5 hours I thing :) It was a lot of fun! We splashed water on the other people in the boats, pushed each other in the water, stood up in the boat, aimed for the rocks, jumped from a 6 meter cliff!!! Oh yeah! It was awesome!

After the rafting:

 Sooo hungry!!!

 Showing pictures form the rafting, taking by a pro camera. I want those pictures!!!

 Getting the grill going!

 They made a lot of different food! I mainly were at the grill to help cook the food. I hope I did a good job~

After the BBQ, we went to an onsen! It was sooooo relaxing~ It was very nice after being in the cold water and then being outside for the BBQ. We were at the onsen for about one hour before going home. Here's a picture from when we were done:

 Coming home:

I'm veeeery tired at this point!
