....all though I don't have any photos =u=""" Phones are strictly forbidden in this private school, and even if they'd allow a camera, my PC is as dead as always so I can't move my photos anywhere anyway. (But I'm working on it, and I stand strong in my belief that my laptop shall be reincarnated within the end of next week)
So! I'll try to compensate with some photographic descriptions of my school(life).
- Every morning I take the train to Nerima, change for Kotezashi and go off at Hibarigaoka, then I board the bus headed for Musashi-Sakai, ride it until Mukaidaichou Ichi-chome and walk for 5-10 minutes. The entire journey usually takes about an hour, if I get on the right trains.
- When entering the school gate, I bow to the gatekeeper, then to the headmaster when he's around, and then to the school.
Sometimes the kendo - Japanese sword-uh-combat?? - -club has morning exercise in an run-down old building right by the entrance gate. The building has very thin, very old walls. And the kendo club is LOUD. Like seriously, they're like a freaking.... Something VERY VERY LOUD!!! They're all screaming and running and clashing their wooden swords hysterically and you can hear them two minutes away!! (If the windows are open) And it sounds like SO MUCH FUN, I'm planning to stop by one day :D
- Then I enter the school. I arrive 20 minutes before school starts, in case I miss a train. I sometimes chat with my classmates, but it's hard to enter their conversations @-@"
At 08:15 the get-your-asses-to-yer-classrooms-bell rings. It means that we must go to our classrooms. Then, at 08:20 the ceremony-kinda-sortof-begins-bell rings. It means that the morning ceremony starts, and that everyone should be meditating already (but that usually doesn't happen before 08:22). The ceremony goes as follows: stand, listen, sing Buddhist hymn, bow, sit, meditate, stand, bow, sit. And we must never do anything without being told so by Miss. Creepy Voice On Speakers or Harima-Sensei. 👍👍👍
- We have 6 fifty-minute-classes every day Monday-Friday, and 4 classes on Saturday. There is a 10 minute break between each class (just enough time to sprint for your life down to the vending machine to buy coffee and sprint up again and save it for the next break). After 4 classes we have the lunch break, 50 minutes =U= Usually I eat bento with everyone else in the classroom (provisory long dining tables are assembled with desks), sometimes I eat in the delicious cafeteria where they serve an array of mysterious Japanese meals, also 6 types of noodles, heaps of unhealthy bread and a selection of deep fried chicken.
- This is my timetable:
(Is the resolution as bad as I think it is? Gotta fix this....soon...)The white classes are with my home room class, the grey ones are with other classes or private tutoring ☆. As you can see, in addition to my own homeroom class H2 White (high school second yr color-code white), I also have certain subjects with: H1 green, H2 purple, H3 blue, M3 green (middle school), M1 green and H2 red. And they ALL want me to learn all their freaking names omg it's impossibleeee x''DDDD Tomoka, Haruka, Konoha, Kotone, Mami, Momo, Moe, Miki, Miki, Miki, Mariko, Maiko........@~@"" But it's fun! And they're all incredibly adorable omg x'D
Oh and btw, the letters at the bottom of the timetable are for after-school club activity. R is for rikushoubu=track and field/running/athletics club, and A is for art club (really Bijutsubu but anyways). When I have club activity, which is every day except Friday, I come home around 7. And I have homework. And I have school on SATURDAY, peoples. I dare you to complain about Norwegian school once more... xDDD
I reaaally have to go to bed now so here's some quick random notes:
- Japanese girls are very cute and sweet and everything but VERY NOISY x'D They scream all the time! I don't mind though. God stemning, like we say in Norway (= good mood/atmosphere)
- Also there are very many tomboys at the (girls only-)school!! They look so much like boys it's inhuman xD And some of them are quite handsome too. I'm confused. xD
- About handsomeness. They guys from the neighbouring university. Wow.
- One of my teachers is sort of strict sometimes, but usually quite nice and the rest i very nice!! They smile all the time and many of them treat the students like their own kids, playing and telling jokes and teasing and stuff. About that, my math and science teachers tend to wander off the subject... FAR off the subject... Having open discussions about soccer, for example. Or teasing the students, or bragging about their swimming club (and they're very nice and funny, I enjoy listening, but anyways). Agnes, fellow (but Swedish) exchange student, said they do it to give the students a break. When looking at their schedule, most of them having cram school in the evenings too, I can see that the students need a break, but it still seems kind of strange... Teachers journeying far away from their subject purposefully... x3
- Last comment, uhm... It's FREAKING ICE COLD in the mornings here, no talk of fresh breeze around privaties here!! (Harry Potter pun, Karoline, mother) For once I actually wish I could wear pants, or at least wool leggings, but all they allow here is our wonderful whoosh-whoosh skirts and knee socks. =~=" Hahah and btw Japanese women are incredible, while I'm freezing to death in a wool skirt and old women wear five layers of winter coats, the young women all as one stride about in mini-shorts and dangerously short mini-skirts and ankle stockings. I'm impressed by what they sacrifice for their looks.
But now I'm retreating to my bed! The sleep I missed by blogging, will probably be retrieved on the bus tomorrow... If it's not packed...
