BAKA! (Idiot)

There has been so much information the past three days.  Orientation was full of bad news.  First, I had to pay $100 for a housing deposit that I was never informed of before our entering the classroom.  Then I learned about the extra money that I needed to pay for the National Heath Program.  Followed by the amazing news that I had a 3 hour exam on Wednesday and a 4 hour exam on Thursday.

Well, that 3 hour exam is over.  I feel like a complete idiot, now.  But at least I will be put in a class level that I can benefit from.  I am not looking forward to the exam tomorrow.  The more advanced students are required to write an essay in Japanese; those of us who are not that advanced will be participating in an interview.  Other than that, I have no idea what the allotted 4 hours will be used for.

I know that tons of things happened between the orientations of the past 3 days, so I will probably edit this post when I can recall them.  For now, I will work on my spoken Japanese for my interview tomorrow.
