1st days of uni
Well yesterday was my first day of uni and I must say...so far...its easy as hell...nothing compared to the amount of work we had to do back in Sydney. Then again, each subject taken is worth only 2 credit points...but the funny thing is they seperate the lectures and tutorials making them 2 different classes...and they seem to place a greater importance on the lectures rather than the tutorials or seminars...
And so, for the Japanese language class...we had to do a Japanese proficiency test...but it ended up being a 20min interview...which turned out to be pretty easy...i passed (well I`m pretty sure I passed) therefore I`m in the Intermediate Japanese class...but then again...i think anyone who managed to pass Japanese 2 at UTS would be put into the Intermediate class.
And today, my second class - Japanese Society and Culture...and by the looks of it...its way easier than the Japanese language class...the teacher said that...all we gotta do is turn up to class and he`ll pretty much give us whatever marks we want...and i quote.."If you want a AA+ I will give you a AA+...as long as you turn up to every class." Well that suits me just fine..hehe...but I understand now what they mean when they said that for the Japanese, uni life is like their easy years...an end to the harsh study regimes of high school and their final days of freedom before entering the work force...

wow...your classes seem alot easier than mine and miguel's here in Gifu.
all our classes are in understandable Japanese, but they expect alot from our responses in class, and not the typical half-ass J2 responses we are used to in australia.
then our culture class...damn this class is shared with the advance classes, so the teacher does not hold back in his japanese...
looks like u are having fun...
