Nothing much to post today. I didn't have any classes, but I went to campus anyway to check out the clubs that were being shown. Surprisingly, there really aren't that many, only about nine or so. I think that I might go with the Travel Club, who go from local areas around Kansai to deep in the mountains.
My host family is really busy during the weekday evenings, so they said it would be good if I could make some friends soon to hang out with instead of being at home by myself, bored. The problem with that is, I don't exactly know how to do that. When I made friends at Appalachian, I was just dragged into the group and everything worked out. But over here, Not only is everyone busy themselves, but it seems that groups were already established during the plane flight. I don't know anyone, really, so I can't rely on introduction into any group. Maybe class or a club would fix that.
I saw a program on tsuzumebachi, the Japanese wasp. The biggest in the world. And that claim was not exaggerated. Remember when I blogged about the size of that cicada, and how it was half the size of my hand (and I have big hands)? Well, these things are bigger. It showed normal yellow jackets flying around them, and they weren't even as big as the tsuzumebachi's heads! I'm starting to think even Australia might be safer than here.

  2. Well, you were alone at App for only a short time before you fell in with the folks who are your good friends now, so don't sweat it. Either you'll find some friends or you'll spend evenings at the campus library doing your homework so you can have the weekends free for the travel club.

  3. you could randomly act like Tifa? I think that's how we all got pulled into our group, at least to start with.
