Back to reality
Yesterday I had my first school day and my first lecture in “Biological Psychology”. It was pretty good and seems very interesting. My teacher spoke english well and she seems to be very nice. There was one thing I didn’t like though and that was that she said that women and men use different sides of their brains and that it’s genetically. I know people say that all the time but I can’t stand hearing that I’m not blessed with logical thinking as a woman. I don’t believe that at all! But if I don’t consider that little particulate thing everything was good.
I also went to check out one other biology class that I’m not taking to see if it was any good…but it wasn’t. I’m studying the SILS program and all lectures should be in English but this teacher didn’t know any English so he was speaking In Japanese and laughing all the time. I thought he was drunk! My fellow students classes had been exactly like that one with a teacher speaking bad English and mixing it with Japanese. I consider myself lucky but I still have two biology classes that I haven’t attended yet.
Today I had my first Japanese classes. Intensive Japanese and Kanji. I understand why it’s called intensive Japanese because I was exhausted after three hours of it. I think the class was really hard and next time we’re having a quiz! I can’t believe it. And I just have to add that I was the worst in the class because everyone else had studied Japanese for one year or so. I don’t know how I managed to place for that level, and I’m in level 1B! And how can people that have studied Japanese for one year place for level 1B??????? Well, I hope I’ll pass the quiz on Thursday…but the teacher was very nice! She helped me a lot. After the intensive Japanese class I was really thinking of dropping the kanji class because it seemed like to much for me but when I went there the teacher said we didn’t have to worry about exams etc. because she just wanted us to enjoy and learn. So I’m taking the kanji class! I’m still worried since I’m taking 19 credits and the recommended amount of credits is 16. But I really want to take all the Japanese I can and then if I drop one of the biology lectures I would only have 15 credits.
I bought some of my books today, they’re so expensive! I hope they’re worth all the money!
Tonight I’m having dinner with Izumi and later on I’m meeting the international students to sing karaoke. We’re going around 11 pm so I think I’ll be tired tomorrow! Now I have to study for my quiz…

Hej! Jag känner redan att japanskan börjar komm igång och jag har bara varit här en månad. men jag vill inte droppa kanjin för jag kommer aldrig att plugga kanji om jag inte blir tvingad till det! Och redan nu efter tre lektioner så har jag börjar kunna läsa lite mer grejer och så. det är värt det! Hoppas du har det bra! Kram
