January 27: Midori: "I'm Tired"

Little sleep, great amount of coffee to keep me awake... Those are pretty good word to present my recent life. Too many things to think about. Too many things to do... Just forwarded the magic word, did you get it?

I have been a good student so far. How can I describe the word "manneri" in English? It's partly because it's my second semester, partly because my nature, I can't find intellectual stimulation very much at the program any more... Stayed up almost all night yesterday to read through the syrabass(spell? forget it.) Went to some class today; rural socio, American history, contemporary mass culture... I was happy to feel academic atmosphere and kokochi yoi kinchoukan that I'd forgotten.

Oh, I've watched most scaring film in mass culture class; "know your enemy--Japan"....little wonder they dropped the bomb. It's not the history I learned in Japan... Now you know what I saw. Ignorance is bliss.

I probably have to stay there for another couple of weeks. How come I can't get ANYthing started just because I can't reach a housing director or something who is supposed to call me back a week ago???? (I've already left three messages on her phone, and visited the housing office twice!) If I were in Japan, this wouldn't be anything only if you have good mouth. (sigh) I don't think this could actually happen in Japan, though. I knew that American people are individualistic, but didn't know each section was so individualistic. Some organizations that are supposed to be well organized are not organized at all. Don't they work if they don't get tips?! These are the time I really get annoyed with their system or atama no warusa or yu-zu- no kikanasa.

Anyway, life goes... Thanks for listening. ja-ne
