Sunday roast!

One thing I miss about home is a good Sunday roast. Yorkies, stuffing, gravy, the works! I'm on the meal plan which means I don't have to cook for myself, but I do have to put up with some rather interesting concoctions. That's not to say it's bad food. It's usually quite tasty, but when you start having dreams involving bowls of rice and miso soup, you know it's time for a good roast.

True to form, I've been forgetting to take food photos as always... In fact, I've been forgetting to take photo's full stop. But here are a few of the campus taken on a rare day when I remembered my camera:

Classes have started since my last post. So far they're going pretty well. I had to take a placement test and managed to get into level 300 for Japanese, which is pretty much exactly where I should be. The classes aren't too intense but we do have a quiz every day, and they go towards our grades... and if that wasn't incentive enough, I'm also in competition with my friend and classmate, Sophie, to see who can get the most points by the end of the semester... If I lose I have to stand on a chair in the cafeteria at peak lunchtime and shout "I am a massive homosexual!"... I'm currently three points behind :-(

One other thing worth mentioning about AIU is the library.



I've been spending a lot of time in there and in the LDIC watching The X-files with Japanese audio, so I can call it studying.

Bye for now x
