Drained, but content, I need to add.

I'll probably be blogging more on Basement than here because it's time consuming, but my private things will still go here.

In any case, I am safe and sound, if a little bit tired, and in my room at Nishiwaseda International Student House right now. If you want my mail address, leave a comment and I'll pass it to you via e-mail. :)

Anyway, I have my first album of photos up here. Nothing much yet, but I just headed to Akihabara and Harajuku for brief visits to pick up important things. So photos will be up tomorrow when my placement test is over. I want to explore so many places, but I need to blog and record everything down too. For my own bad memories' sake.

I am enjoying myself immensely in Japan. How can I not? It still hasn't sunk in that I'm going to be here for a year. Wow.

I've already started to try and be more outgoing, because being a wallflower is painful and painfully lonely. I'm fine being by myself but I do appreciate good company. I'm hoping to find some. But in anycase, I tried to be more "HI HOW ARE YOU? MY NAME IS ALICIA, I'M FROM SINGAPORE" at the Dorm Party just now. It seemed to work a bit, even if conversation was stilted.

Time to revise a little more, and back to the books for an hour before I sleep. Meeting a group of dormmates at 8:30am tomorrow.

STALIN AND HITLER? my dear bonnie.. hahaha
socialising at the start can be painful. But i think it helps a lot when u know everyone else is just as nervous and wanting-to-please as you are

anyway alicia I LOVE 'please don't tell her!' :D
