First week of school

Small update about my life here in Japan. School started this week, and we have already got homework in every course I´m taking >.<’ It was a while since I had homework actually haha. In Sweden at the university (from what I now) we often don´t have any homework. We have a lot of group work, but not homework that we have to hand in before every class. So far, it´s not so much homework (yet), so I´m fine. I´m used to do everything even if it´s not obligatory. But for people who are not used to it, I guess it can be kind of hard to get into it and plan your time effectively.

Today I had my first lesson test, which was a kanji test. I think it went well. Here they have midterms and finals. But during the term we also have lesson tests and class activities that will be counted into the final grade. So yeah, every class performance and every test counts. Ganbatte ne (right?) For instance the final grade in one of the kanji classes is divided as followed:

Final exam: 30%

Lesson Tests: 30 %

Quizzes: 20 %

Reading Tests: 10 %

Homework: 10 %

Plans for a wild Friday night? Nah, I will hit the gym after I´m done writing this and then by some dinner. The lunch and dinner here at the university is ridiculously cheap, 25-45 kr for lunch and 50 kr for dinner. I will probably also go to the convenience store and by some snacks because after all, it´s Friday😉

This the weekend I have only planned to study (have a big test in Japanese on Monday + homework in every other class), and tomorrow I will go to Osaka to meet my speaking partner for the first time :3
