School Life

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay on the blogging... I've been a tad busy. A lot has happened since I last blogged. School has started!!! I already picked out three of the four that I am supposed to have, and I still need to get one more... blah. It's a lot harder than it sounds. For starters, the block type scheduling here is so frustrating because all the interesting classes are at the same time :( Also some that I want to take have nothing to do with Japan, so I won't get credit for it back home. The rest of the classes are just way too freakin hard and too much work. I'm trying to take it easy ;)

Also club wise... I joined the official Sophia University tennis team!!! It's a club and they are SUPER intense. I love it. We meet three times a week, and the practices run for 5 hours. On the days that we don't have practice, people are encouraged to go to the weight room and lift. This Sunday the regulars have a match that the freshman go to to act as cheerleaders. Everyone on the team is so AMAZING!!!! On of our girls is in the 16th place in all of Tokyo area. The coach that comes to train us once in a while has trained some pro Japanese tennis players. They are so fun to watch! I can't wait for the Sunday match. Oh also on the TOTALLY random note... I popped my knee out during practice yesterday. Of course it would happen to me of all people. It was pretty swollen yesterday and I had to limp... but today the swelling has gone down immensely and doesn't hurt as bad. I still went to today's tennis practice though. I didn't actually play tennis, but I did go to the weight room with another girl and we did upper body lifting. I am going to be so jacked in a month. Haha just kidding... :P

Anyways when I came home, which was around 10 pm, my host mom made Taco rice. The taco in this case is referring to the Mexican taco.. and not the octopus 'taco'. It was so good. Basically its rice, then you put cheese, tomato, taco ground beef, and then salsa on top. It was so good especially since the last time I ate was at 12:30 and consisted of a cup of tea and one lonely onigiri. It was really good though.

So I can't write too much because I have a Kanji quiz tomorrow, but I am meeting new people from all over the world, and have experienced my first all you can eat Okonomiyaki place! Kimchi okonomiyaki is SO good!!! I highly recommend :)
