Yeah people... !

Yep so today begins a new story, about school...
So i spent all evening the night before practicing the speech that i was gonna hold infront of the entire school, in japanese by the way, and they are like 2000 people.
I went to bed a little early and woke up way too early, it takes like 15 minutes for me to eat breakfeast and get ready... i woke up one and a half hour before. But it was fine, i worked really slow with everthing. like trying to get the tie to be the most perfect and the hair to become great but i was still done after half an hour so i just watched some tv.

Then i left for school... The thick dark blue winter uniform and 22 degrees outside. Hell yeah, not!
And the train was like too much people... but it was allright.

I have like a bike ride to the station Nakajima, one train to Nagoya, subway to Ikeshita and then like 20 minutes walk to the school. But that walk is not the most annoying part... its the Nagoya - Ikeshita subway. Its just so much people...

I got to school, and our class had to meet in out classroom before the opening ceremony.
The walk to the classroom was quite interesting, i got countless "Hello" and "How are you doing" in bad english xD. But it was quite nice. Everyone was smiling and looking and saying hello.

I got into the classroom and met the class teacher, he is very good. He is also very weird in a good way... We had some kind of information. I didnt understand a word, by the way. Then we went in to the big gym hall... or whatever its called :P. Big sports place with a stage. everyone sat dow in perfect rows. And then everyone stood upp and stood really really straight, I did as the others did. Then they checked everyones shirts and ties and skirts and bowties. Everything had to be perfect. And then the principal came in and had some kind of an opening/welcome speech, which i didnt understand att all either. Then it was my turn and they told me to do the speech in english. That was maybe lucky, maybe unlucky... but at the time i was more thinking that i was lucky. I then went up on the stage and looked out over the 2000 students sitting in perfect rows. All the nervousness dissapeared and i started talking about me. And the english teacher translated.

After that the most interesting exams i have ever done begun. We went to the classroom and sat down. We then did different tests... In japanese. Even the math was impossible becuase half was understandable but the understandable was really not understandable in a math point of view... I havent even heard of the things the test was about... So well, it was... Interesting...

The english test had questions in japanese so i just guessed and got 50% right on it :P

The japanese test is not even worth mentioning... it was... in japanese.

After that i went home, at around 13.15 maybe it was.

On the train home i met a really nice girl that i tried to talk a little to and she tried to talk to me. She went off at the Sakae station.

The second day.

The second schoolday was very good. Many lessons that ya dont really get anything out of... people sleeping around the classroom :P (Not me, i promise xD), People doing other subjects homework, and then there were the people who were actually listening.

But i got alot of help from my new friends with everything. Their names are Liza and Yuki. Later after all the lessons the school had a club orientation. It was three hours where the different clubs showed different stuff to recruit clubless second and third years and ofcourse the new firstyears. Who are about 700 by the way :P.

I was sitting with some really cool people that didnt have a club either. One of them was gonna join basketball and another tennis. I still dont know wich one to join...

After the baseball teams performance they all (and i mean everyone) went up and sat around me xD i bet it must have looked really fun. it was like me in the dark uniform and them in white/purple baseball wear. They are all really nice and they taught me some japanese.

Today was another day at school. During the first two days every girl in the entire school had introduced themselves to me and the third day everyone came asking if i could remember their names... i couldnt. only Liza, Shiho, Yuki, Ai, and Yuu. I dont remeber as many guys names though. Only Masato, Masahiro, Takae and Masako.

Its not that they have that hard names to remeber but its too many people under such a short time. Ya dont really get the chance to register a face.

Today i went to the kendo practice to watch them in action. It was really cool, DAMN they are fast. I dont think i will join the kendo club becuase of morning training wich i have a hard time getting to, since i have an hour to school. and They have long practice every day... I want some freetime too. So i will do some more browsing. Havent decided any club yet. But i will do Karate every weekend i hope.

Alot of talk and no pictures... Thats what it will be today. I havent taken any pictures. I am gonna buy a camera tomorrow or saturday.

Got any questions, dont hesitate to leave them in a comment. Have a good one mateys!

  3. Jag kan inte sa mycket japanska... Jag kan mest bara skriva massa kanji, men jag kan typ prata lite med mina klasskompisar,
    Men jag lar mig mycket nytt varje dag. Lektionerna ar ingenting man egentligen kan eller borde bry sig om... Man forstar ingenting iallafall.
