Classes

I finally registered for classes this morning. As I mentioned before, none of the classes looked very interesting. I ended up choosing my classes based on three questions in this order.
1: Will the class transfer back home? (yes)
2: Does the class have a good time slot? (morning)
3: Does the class have a paper to write? (no)

Based on these, I had two different options of classes to take. I need 8 credits total of elective classes. I narrowed down two 4 credit classes and two 2 credit classes. I ended up choosing "Sociology of Japanese Culture and Society" worth 2 credits, "Religions of East Asia II" worth 2 credits, and "Tokyo: Anthropological Fieldwork and Documentary Filmmaking" worth 4. If I decide the classes are worth anything after the first day, I will have a really laid back and friendly schedule. Class from 9 to noon on Tues Wed, and class from 9 to 2:30 on Thurs Fri. This gives me a 3 day weekend and all afternoon to do whatever extracurricular activities I feel like. I am really looking forward to getting a language partner (or two) this semester to make new friends and speak Japanese more. I also want to join a club of some sort or another (calligraphy, igo, shogi, gaming....) A 3 day weekend is also perfect for making travel plans outside of Tokyo.

Gotta get to campus soon to ask about traveling. Jon out
