I made it! Oh me oh my it’s been quite a battle. I dressed up all nice in a shirt to visit my new university, and then sweated so much on the way there due to the humidity I had to change in the toilets. They saw me with both shirts on so that was probably pretty confusing. I’m going to do a Mrs. Doubtfire sort of thing and pretend I have an identical twin.
Anyway, the girl who met me at Sophia and was my ‘student guide’ was really nice, and again it was a nice way to get a good amount of language practice in. We took the train from Yotsuya station (in the centre of the city) all the way to Nishi-Kawaguchi (outside of the city) which took a long, long time. It’s a journey I’ll be doing five times a week so I tried to look excited when all I felt inside was crushing, crushing sorrow.
When we arrived at the dormitory I was quickly moved into my room. Then we went for food with a few other new arrivals and then I grabbed some essentials. Rather than ramble on, I’ve made a highly informative video. Here it is!
‘My dorm room in Warabi, Saitama’
So that is pretty much me up to date. I have a week until university starts which I am spending visiting various friends and so on. Once something exciting happens (which is every day!) I’ll update this blog. I may even build up enough courage to step outside with my video camera, although we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. There are wolves out there.
