Lorelle Had a Study Day

Yesterday I decided it`s not good enough that we are studying boring things that we already know. If I had known this, I would`ve asked to come to Japan at a later date! I know that`s not possible, but still, I`m so bored in class.
So I used Saturday to learn new Kanji and useful phrases...and take millions of photos. I was so bored at one point (but in a good way; bored with learning rather than bored at learning nothing) that I decided to set my webcam to take five photos every few minutes. I forgot about it sometimes...

And my lunch

I had another study day today, but my head hurts and I don`t feel so well.

君がいなくなると、寂しくなる

The last time I went to Japan, I was really home-sick. Recently I realised that I never really comprehended that I would actually have to leave . It was quite silly really, now that I think about it. However it's easy to do. The original plan this time around was for me to get a job, go over, and D would follow in about a month. Things changed, and now he's decided to go over three months later. Initally it was no problem, but now that the time for me to depart is getting closer and closer, once again I'm in the same situation. Only this time, I'm going to be really alone. No other exchange students who are in the same situation. Everyday I think about how awesome and hard this is going to be. But I know I'm going to a really lovely place, I'm going to be making new friends and my Japanese is going to be awesome...eventually! Plus there's Skype. And until he gets there I'll keep myself busy and in contact, and time will fl...

Sugiyama Jogakuen Welcoming Party

...it was not a `party`. Today was rainy :( I still haven`t bought myself an umbrella. So when we left, I took one out of the stand. I hoped that whoever owned it wouldn`t be wanting to go out. I`ve noticed Japanese rain is remarkably different to when it rains in Tasmania. In Tasmania, the winds blow, so it`s impossible to use an umbrella anyway. It Japan there is very little, so the rain falls straight down. I actually prefer Tasmanian rain. You`ll hear why later. Sugiyama`s Sunday bus...I guess they don`t expect many people to be going to University. I couldn`t believe how much space there was! So, at 9.20am we arrived at Sugiyama, and I jumped immediately onto the computers. Still no news. There has been no news for a few days now, which is extremely disappointing. When there`s no news, it makes me feel isolated. Once inside CIEP (Center for International Exchange Programs) we became aware that today was going to begin on a formal note. In one of the classroom...

Old Photos - Nagoya Castle, Purikura

I have some semi-old photos I`d like to share which would belong in other posts, but you all might miss them if I put them there. So here they are! Starting with the day we spent with Asami and Yuuko (I took the photos directly from Facebook, so I haven`t been able to make some of them clearer in Photoshop or do any croppping. Sorry!): Oh I did something different for once! The view from my window at night. Left is a 24 hour internet cafe; handy if I ever happen to get locked out after curfew! Top right is apartments I think, and bottom right is a train going past. I never notice them because I`m always so tired. I don`t even remember where this was taken...it must`ve been the second day here because my hair isn`t straight. I think I`m a bit fed up (of some thing ) already. Nagoya Castle: Yes I am in this picture... Hehe it`s me Really, really yummy ramen with lots of vegetables from last night. I al...
