classes;

Hey all! Today is my second day of classes here at KIT. Right now I am sitting in the lobby area of building 1, waiting for my next class to start. I still love all the interesting looks people look at us, since we still stick out like a sore thumb. But hey, it provides great amounts of entertainment for me!

Yesterday I had my first Japanese 2 class, and our Research Project class.

Japanese 2 seems okay, but the first day was full of derp, and some extremely elementary vocabulary and grammar points. There seems to be a big gap between the level 2 and 3 courses, so I'm glad where I am as of right now. I'm sure it will improve later on in the next 6 weeks. Yesterday we went over things like dates and giving/receiving directions. That was hard since we never really covered that back at RIT, but then we went over simple things like "のが好きです、” which almost killed my brain from the simplicity of it all! LOL.

I think the Project Research class is going to be the most difficult for me since I don't normally talk about conserving energy on a regular basis. We have to do a pretty indepth research project in Japanese, and then present it in Japanese at the end of our program. Apparently the President comes in and watches our presentations...I do not approve of this at all xD

Today we had our first culture class, which is actually Japanese Anthropology. I'm really excited since I loved taking Anthropology back at RIT, and the teacher here is awesome. We have to give weekly reports to him about things we have seen and experienced. Sort of like a field study type thing. There are also mini presentations we have to give. I don't go until the end, but mine is on Hip-Hop music and other music related topics. Two of my other friends are doing theirs on Pokemon and I am rather excited about that xD

Alright, gotta get ready for class!
