Japanese Classes

so, like they said i arrived at the international student center at 8:30am and went to the board to check which classes I was placed into.....along with 50 other people. It was a bit crowded. I ended up being placed into alot of advanced level classes, it was kinda suprising. For some reason i even got advanced reading 3, the highest class, i have NO idea how, and im pretty sure it'll be impossible... There is one big problem though, i have 3 classes that overlap at the SAME time...so im kinda screwed. I have advanced composition and advanced grammar on tues/thurs, and at the same time and same days my intermediate oral practice II is also in session...DAMNIT. somehow i'm gonna have to sort through all this mess... They say i cannot change my classes JUST because of scheduling conflicts, then can only be changed on the basis of skill level, so basically I have to prove to them i need to be in a higher or lower class so i can take all of them...sigh...

This weekend there are a couple of activities i'll be attending. One of them is an international event where int. students meet a bunch of kids and tell them about their countries. I'll also be going to the student run bar/restaraunt on campus for an all-you-can-eat/drink night on saturday, and tonight is a dinner for int students and then some kinda of 'dance' party *on the poster it said bring your own drinks, but then it looks like the management crossed that out in red pen!* haha...we'll see about that.

2 days ago i met with my advisor, tutor, and his assistant at a really nice japanese restraunt close to the university and sapporo station. It was a nice experience, basically they give you a huge plate of really fresh seafood, and you cook it over a charoal fire in the center of the table. Everything was really delicious and very very fresh (crab, shrimp, fish, shellfish, you name it)

bye bye
