Escaping Days

The days seem to be running away! It's already nearly the end of October!
I'm getting more confident with using Japanese spontaniously now :3
I've made a few new Japanese friends this weekend too!

I had so much kanji homework to do this week, but I finally finished it!

Actually come to think of it, kanji class seems to be the only class where we get regular homework.
Although, we get "influenza homework" incase the uni closes.

This week during our Friday culture class we had the opportunity to try Shodo.
I found it quite difficult to get the strokes exactly right.
I did "geijutsu"as my kanji, I think I might have been watching to much Naruto lately...thanks Deidara!

Today, I went into Kawagoe to buy some shorts for Tennis class and Tennis club from the sports shop.

However I got slightly sidetracked by the festival that was on,
So many food stands! I wish I could've afforded and had the stomach space to try a bit of everything! XD

I got some nice shots from the festival for my gallery.
So I'll upload them when I feel motivated :P

I think this next week is going to go fast as well. `

I have tennis class tomorrow morning, which is always fun.
Advanced kanji in the afternoon (where all that homework came from @_@ )
And volunteering class (which is actually listening to various volunteering companies talk about their business and we have to write a small commentary and the end) after kanji class.

We are probably doing biwa again on Tuesday's culture experience class, although I think it's high time we did something new.
Japanese special expressions class in the afternoon - it's quite challenging, but always easy to understand since the teacher is great at explaining things and she's so funny!

Wednesday brings "Practial Use of Japanese" class. We started watching a film about sumo last week and we're going to finish it this week.
After that I have German - I'm ahead the class in the German textbook.
So I have no need to rush my work in that class.

Friday is a very easy day with basic kanji class
and then cultural experience class (this week will be Origami).
Not sure I'm looking forward to the origami - I've tried it before with instructions from a library book and I was terrible at it!

Typhoon and Cosplay plans

The weather here has been pants recently. Humid yet raining.

On Tuesday they announced on the news that a typhoon was coming and showed the path they predict it was going to take.

Of course as the typhoon made it's journey these predictions changed.

Even though the typhoon has already passed our area, uni classes are cancelled for today.

The sun is now shining hot, like it's pretending the bad weather never happened lol!

My cosplay arrived today! It came so fast, it took only 3 days!
When I was in the UK it took a whole month, coming from the same company!

It seems like we are going to be having a halloween party at the Ryuugakusei Kaikan, since many are planning their outifts.
So, it gives me a good excuse to cosplay :D

Also, there is going to be two manga/anime conventions in December in Tokyo that I don't want to miss!
