It's been over two weeks since I've moved onto campus, and things are honestly nicer. I have more time (to sit around and do NOTHING! HA!), am closer to friends, and cooking for myself isn't as bad as one would think. Granted, I'm doing the bare necessity to survive, but hey, I'm used to that.
The dorm is a little chilly, but when I am sleeping, I'm always toasty. It's just dealing with the cold during the day and otherwise. I'm sure once Spring and Summer hit I'll be hating it, but for now, we'll take the good.
My roommate's name is Yuki Hikaru, and she's one of the Seniors of the dorm. In Japan, seniority is a big (HUGE) thing. So, the Seniors in the dorm pretty much get to decide who rooms with who among other things. Despite the fact that I'm older than most, if not all of them, I'm still treated like a freshman. I suppose it's the whole being a OYR and non-native speaker that I'm out of the loop, but, whatever. I came to this place like five months too late to be apart of the actual community, so...
In a month I'll have a new roommate. I'm hoping it's Maya, Reina, Tina, or Serina.
Classes are going exceptionally well. I've gotten a 86% and a 88% on my first two tests, so I am improving! Go me :D

What can I say except...go go Erykah? ^^
This is truly great. I think the new class load is definitely helping you. Grades aren't the only positive though. It's really encouraging to see you with better self-esteem!
I agree with Mike, your confidance has improved. I am so proud of you my precious daughter :)
