Such was today. Usually when I am tired my subconcious runs wild and it landed on my classes. Specifically how we are supposed to have 10 minimum in order to be a full time student. Now I know what you are thinking- You have 10 classes, Ash. Why worry?
But this is where things get sticky. One of the classes is the non-credit supplemental class.
Non Credit... 10 classes needed... my mind was haywire. I could've sworn they never stopped or warned me. I had 11 classes including it when I began was not allowed in one- 10. Switched one to Badminton... still 10. But thing is - IS IT REALLY 10?!
Overall I am just really worried, I emailed the people at the International Center and hopefully this mistake doesn't cost me something dear. I really can't afford any more bad news right now. For now I doubt I will be able to even sleep tonight. My mind will be too flooded with the horribleness of the worst case scenario.
------------
Luckily for me it was just a subconscious going wild deal. It turns out that the 10 requirement is not a requirement at all but a recommendation. So talk about relief. I think it really shook me up cause I was just so worried. But I think Justin put it in the correct words-
Unfortunately there's no sugar coating it. Just move forward and try to enjoy yourself.
Luckily it didn't come to any intense actions but still it shook me up enough that I was so afraid that things were going to fall apart.
However, le's move on to what today was like- Well first I woke up late. See on Tuesdays my classes begin at 9am. I woke up at 8:45.
I made it 10 minutes late which is an accomplishment seeing as I had to take the subway after looking semi-presentable to go to class.
Afterwards I hung out in the International Center and later went home to clean some dishes. One of my plates has a black mark on it... Anyone know a way to get it off?
Then in my next class at 2:55 we learned about the State Origins of Shintoism. Really even though Shintoism was there in Japan, the State really brought it together and asserted it. They used Shintoism as a unifying factor similar to the Western use of Christianity.
Haruna-Sensei said that it is often said of the Japanese that they are born Shinto, get married Christian, and die Buddhist.
Reason behind that is that when they are born there is a ceremony done that is based from Shintoism, and most marriages are western style and Christian style. And Funerals are Buddhist.
I thought it was interesting at least. Then afterwards we were invited to go to the bar with Haruna Sensei and the classmates. At first I wasn't going to go. I had plans to make dinner and go grocery shopping but I moved things around and went to the bar with everyone. It was a lot of fun, I ordered a lot of food and learned I don't quite like whatever beer I had (it was light and Minaye said I might like darker ones).... my Japanese friend drank my share. I instead for the most part drank water and a sweeter drink. Overall it was a lot of fun and I talked to Raine, Minaye, Miki, Ben, and Jimmy as well as Michael. Everyone was very chill and it was a great atmosphere.
However I later left cause I was getting tired. Overall my wrist has been hurting all day. I put a cool pack on it but it didn't seem to help.
I know I am so bad I have no pictures for you... so instead here is one of a random place in Nagoya!
Also I hope the cats are quiet tonight, last night it sounded like someone was throwing them off the roof.
