It’s just going to take some getting used to. Operating this campus, I mean. I wasn’t really good at talking to people I don’t know back home. Now I have to do it in a whole different language. It’s going to be amazingly difficult, I think.
I don’t have a place yet. I mean, I have my dorm and what not, but not like… a social place. I could just go back there after I get out of class, but somehow that seems like a bad idea. After all, they want us to be social and make friends and meet people and ect. And the dorm isn’t exactly the best place to do that. So I need to find a place to be. Like at WCC… well, I didn’t really need a place at WCC, because my classes were all back to back, so I didn’t ever stay on campus very long. And at KCC I was in one classroom the entire time… wow, I guess I haven’t really had a place to be since the drama room at Kamehameha. And from now, that seems like ages ago.
I need to find a place to be when I don’t have class that has people and internet, so I can be connected but not be a hermit.. Everything here is hooked up through LAN cables. There is no wireless network to speak of, I think. Which is absurd to me, but that might just be because I’m coming from home, where wireless internet is the next big thing. I’m sitting in the library, and they don’t seem to have anywhere to plug in where I’m at. I mean, the desks have little power things to plug in to a power source, but not to plug in to internet. There’s connection places in the self study room, which is kind of like a really big lounge, but there were a lot of people in there, and most of them were guys, and there were no empty tables, so I was kind of intimidated. Of course, if I were less cautionary and more social, I might have just sat in there anyway at a table that wasn’t completely full. But I’m soooo not like that. I can’t be like that on my own. I’ll have to go back with one of my classmates, or when it’s less crowded.
Also, I had a terrible dream last night. It gave me a headache that I still have. But that might just be the cold air.
I figured out why Asians run everywhere in their dramas. Because it’s so cold, that’s the only way to be outside and keep warm. I don’t have an explanation for why they run around all the time in the summer though. That’s just absurd.
I had jelly food for breakfast today, and we didn’t really have class this morning. Just like an oral exam part of our pre-test from yesterday. I suck so bad at memorizing vocabulary. I really need to make a personal dictionary for that sort of thing. Or carry around my pocket dictionary, at least. I actually don’t know why it isn’t in my bag right now. If it were, I could be doing my homework. Everyone here seems to do homework all the time. Even where I’m sitting in the library, I can see at least 8 people studying. They’re such good students, it kind of makes me feel bad. Maybe this will turn me into a better student. I think part of it will be focusing on the task at hand, and not being so ADD about things. Distractions is usually what screws me over, after all.
I tried to get on to Hulu this morning because Glee is playing at home tonight, and it told me that Hulu is only supported in the United States. I don’t know what I’ll do if I can’t watch it, but I need to make contact with home so I can tell them to record it for me just in case, so I can watch it all when I get back. Ele is going into her interview with Yagi Sensei soon. I told her I would be in the self study room but clearly I’m not, so I’d better go back to the main building to wait for her.
