Wait.... What homework?

So Monday I had finally recovered from the trip. I got a lot of sleep the previous night, therefore it was going to be a good day. The day started on a good note when we actually went over new concepts in my Japanese class. It became even better once class ended. I met up with many people for lunch and afterwards headed off once again to Shinjuku.

We spent the day wandering around again. The biggest discovery this time was a little alleyway with all sorts of really small food shops. At that point Steven went to work, but we promised to eat some Yakitori with him when he got back. Nikki, Austin, Vaso, and I ended up wandering around Shinjuku some more which eventually led to a Okonomiyaki shop. It was the first time I had been to an actual resturant of that sort. Afterwards we found this hippie shop with some crazy clothes. Nikki was really into it. Finally, Steven got off work and we went back to the alleyway. We ate at this tiny shop which was filled with people. The food was amazing, the bill was not. I guess it is alright to splurge a little every once and a while. That night I got back around 12:30 and immediately went to sleep.

The next day I regretted staying out so late. I had homework in all my classes which I failed to do. I somehow managed to read enough of Genji during lunch to make it through that class. My song class was having difficulties with the website so its homework was postponed. I was really lucky. After class ended I ran to the station to get to the Shinsei Bank in Tokyo center. There was a bridging scholarship reception. I figured it was free food so I might as well go. The party turned out to be amazing. We were on the top floor of this bank with windows all around the room. There were tables in the middle with all sorts of food from sushi to pasta. I also enjoyed some red wine with my meal. Of course I met lots of people too. There were only 3 of us from Waseda, the rest were from various other places around Tokyo. I was very pleased with the entire presentation.
