It’s good
you weren't expecting a lot… otherwise you might 've been disappointed by
the lack of updates. Whenever I feel pressure to do ANYTHING, (yes, also when
it’s fun, and yes, even when it only me putting that pressure there) I tend to
not want to do it anymore. Keeping up with
this blog is like that. It’s a shitty personality trait and I’m
trying to work on it; so bear with me.
Besides having shitty personality traits I have actually been very busy. School is taking a lot more time and effort than
I thought it would and there were also just a lot of things that needed to be
arranged. I needed to get a phone, register my residence card at the city hall, pay my rent, get a student id, get a library card, get a discount card, get a train card, make decisions on courses to take, buy a bike, buy basic stuff for my room, etc etc. And it's not like any of that went easy. Seriously, the simplest things take effort here, and not only because of the language barrier. Japan seems to be very bureaucratic; you need to attend briefings, fill in forms and get permission for every damn things. Like, you wanna park your bike
at the open, not secured, bikepark at your house? Better show a proof of purchase first, sign
a form and put a special sticker on the bike before you do so.
Then if you bear in mind the processing of all
these experiences my little brain needs to do and the countless hours I have to aimlessly spend browsing the
interwebz... I’ve simply been too busy to update.
I thought I
should do some blogs on ‘my daily life’ here. Let’s begin with the thing that
might be the most boring one, but also the one that keeps me most busy here;
school.
ps- All these photos are taken with my pretty old phone camera so the quality isn't that good; sowwy.
