Well, here we are freaks and geeks. Another one flying over the cuckoo's nest as it were. Actually I have no clue what that means.
Back to ole Japan. Another chapter in the book of untold chapters. Yes, as untold as the last chapter was, let's start with episode IV. That's right freaks and geeks. This blog is a New Hope. Ohhh the story will be told. I, II, and III are coming out. But you know what?? Why not start with IV, V, and VI??? That's where our story begins.....
SO let's up the ante shall we freaks and geeks? As I travel on out to sea I can see that the buoy is bowing and it's time to take off the floaties. Oh poetry! What I'm trying to say, silly, is until now I was always properly belayed for the ballet which would soon be laid to rest in my tracks. Okay fine I'll cut the scientific jargon.
What I'ma tryina say is this thing is gonna be harder than the other things. Don't believe me? Well baby, clap your hands if you're ready for the knowledge drop cause here's what I learned today....that's where our story begins.....
Man, I have never really thought twice about orientations. In fact, when I did think about them, I basically just wanted to gag the whole time. After all, who likes those things anyways? Orientations are for me to make jokes to my neighbor who is uncomfortably trying to act like he's listening to the lecture instead of my distraction, in an unfaltering attempt not to reveal that he himself is playing similar games in his own bored little mind.
NOPE THAT'S WRONG. I've come to Kyoto University. I've squeezed in here as a rat might contort to find himself in a room holding all the king's cheese. That is, without explaining too much, I'm not with a program, I basically negotiated my way in for a research year here in a department. Well as it turns out, and also what might be beneficial for the rat, is that you don't make a big splash when you come in as just a guy who got penciled into the university. Thus, whereas before I came with a huge group, in every travel situation I've been in, went through seminar after seminar, ceremony after ceremony until I wanted to pull my leg hair out(why shave when you can go to an orientation).....now it seems relatively...quiet.
"This is great!" you might say, freaks and geeks. Now you won't be caught by the kings guards. "Nobody loves me!" the now demoted Luke-san says (whatever once a sensei always a sensei is what I sei). And ya know, it's really more disconcerting than I thought not to have any clue if the cafeterias have meal plans, if there's a university gym, how to use the library, the ropes of student health (or the closest clinic). Throw in a language barrier and you have a recipe for being lost! Never fear though my dear creepy crawlers, as the night falls a hero rises. What I'm sayin is I'll sleep on it and probably know a lot more by tomorrow. A NEW HOPE. Ciao!
P.S. I got a cool app for this thing now so WEEEEEE, I'll be doing some short post with some long posts weeeee gonna try that weeeee
