Tree Root and Sleeping

Hello!

I'm very glad that you all liked the video I have posted.
It's really unique isn't it?? I really liked the bit where all the professors can't sing the song without looking at the lyrics and they didn't sing the anthem of japon.

Anyways, I have finished for today.
I had the really boring 表現論。

But now that i have some free time before the big saturday,
Im going to draw a bit more and go home, no , go to the docs to get my burn checked out.
Everybody is arty here and now i'm really adapted to it.
I guess my eyes are REALLY de-sencitized.

Anyways, I would have some free time so i'm planning on cooking sausages before i go back home.

btw, i didn't really have a good sleep last night but I'm just taking things slowly and so im managing well...
It's going to be 1month since I started living by myself.
wow short or long, I dont know.

Hello guys!

Gawsh!

I had a biiig week in a good way. I just had fun so much! Since Uni has started everyday is eccentric.
I finished my first ever assigntment for musa. The rockly rock rock drawing. I didn't get any comments from the big guys but I made a lot of people go "waaaaaaaaaaaa!" so i guess thats a good thing. Well, if I can't draw, making people go waaaaaaa!! is a good job. So, good job me :) haha

After that, i went to the interactive innovation class and it was fun. Peoples english are really 頑張ってる and theres good vibes from the whole class. Better that you know who showing off her skills of english and all that crap. Plus, we got bananas for afternoon tea. Teddy gets cakes and things too. That guys really into international stuff!
Plus, he's a banana religious guy. haha

After all the laughter and stuff, I went to my french class.
Im AGNES! The girl who lives net next door of me was in the same class so we had fun saying

-bonjour Agnes!
-ah, bonjour Martine(shes martine)
-Ca va?
-oui ca va et toi?
-Ca va bien! merci.
and stuff. French is great I like it. Plus its not that dificult and the teacher (pascal) is really cute. He's a cute guy.

Then after that, I ran to the 大展示室 where my drawing was and helped the teacher assistant cleaning and that was fun too.
I became good friends with this boy and we went to the station together 国分寺 where the party was!!!!
yay やきにくーー−! I haven't eaten that much meat lately so it was really 新鮮 some how.Every one got really drunk.



Dumb asses! ('cuse me!) I took care of the drunk dumb asses and went home. Some body has to take care of them. :)

That was how my saturday ended.

But I'm already looking forwards going to school. I have a new motief. Tree root. Ta-da-n!! It'S going to be so fun!

I hope uni would be this fun all 4 years or gets more interesting!

Ah, I will post a photo of my friends who came to my house.

Interactivationing

Hello. I had a pretty busy but very 充実した day.
I drew for 3hours that just flew then had lunch with my friends on the grass. I discovered since I really cant use two arms, eating bread is the best that I can do. Plus they have a very nice bakery in the campus so I consider it lucky. :)
Then, I had the 必修. Mr. Nagasawa's. I was quite sleepy by then. I had a great luch too. I ate a baby's bum あかちゃんのおしり。 lol Well, anyways, the professor was very passionate 相変わらず as usual but i fell a sleep..hmmm... bad me.

After that, I had the 1st ever presentation in the presentation class and i don't exactly know why but i was the first. I was complimented by the teacher Mr. Kandasamy and was very happy. He told me he is going to be hard on us though. haha and after a bunch of people gave a presentation, the class finished. Surprisingly, in the class, I saw a guy with my old phone. Tiffany blue one. This is the 2nd person I have seen who has that 深澤phone.People must really like it.
No one with mine though ;) anyways, after the class, I talked with Mr. Kandasamy and Tatsu(the head of MESA guy) and I went to the Nigel Atkinson class called "Threads of Fashion" he did major work that guy. Chanel, Dior and a bunch more.

the class finished late. around 7 maybe. It was wearth it though. :)
I saw my friend あきひこ too. The guy from kawaii juku and Brian. Who i havent seen since the 国際交流 party.

So, it was a busy but very 濃いday.
And again, I'm very happy and I think this is a real privilege.


And since I have a finished my homework(the presentation) I'm going to post some photos of my latest food.

79 yen curry with capsicum! yum!

Negitoro and inakani. 90% bought food.

モネエ

こんちわわーーーーんこ!

Hey guys!
Its me!

Had a good day today. University is really going well.
The drawing classes are really good and 3hours just passes so fast!
And the whole other arvo classes are so fast too. 90minutes is no problem when you are doing something you reall love.

Anyways, I know have a bunch of good friends. In fact, some people are literally stuck with me for the whole morning and sometimes afternoon so I see people getting close very quick.

I know have friends who I can say hi when I see them at uni. Like, just passing by and saying hello to each other. Its really nice. That feeling when you know someone and you guys sort of "connect".

My drawing is going well by the way. My teacher mr.岡本純一 likes it. But I'm still not done with it so i guess I will have to try. But its AMAZING. ME DOING DESSIN. PURE AMAZING. ha!

It's raining quite hard today. booo
I have to do my rishu toroku thingy too.
Just found out that I cant get 2 写真概論s
waaaaaaa?? maybe I will study about 考古学 then. Just for the points and it sounds quite interesting. Maybe.

Well see you around! :)

uma with quite a few friends.

p.s. people tell me that i seem older than them. People over 20 even says that. Even more lately. wwwwwwhaaa?

In Artie's world

Hey guys! Its me!
I'm quite GENKi today. My body's tired and I'm sleepy but I'm managing quite well in the mental part. Better than I have ever expected. I guess the whole enviroment and the university is good so even if its a little hard, I can manage. It's strange though. I didn't ever think I'll be able to manage this well with my life.

And Living by myself, tought me something.

1: To be good to people at anytimes.
2: To organize beforehand.
3: To be polite to people. Especially the professors. The important ones.
and 4: To take action yourself. Say stuff. Like, can I have luch with you. Or can I do this? or just trying to get the group on track and you being the leader.

All important, and I hope I have been doing all these but I just realized how important it is. you know?

Ah, I havent been posting photos of what I'm eating. So, I will post them.

I ate this yesterday. My たらこ-a-lot-of-lettuce-that-shrunk-Spaghetti!


My brekkie. たらこon rice and yoghurt!

And my first 豪華 dinner. Avo and salmon, salad and toast (I ate the salad.! :P)

This is a llittle blurry but its a photo of my spaghetti I first made. Garlic and tomato.
mmmm...:D

リフレエエエエエエエエッシュ!リセッシュ!シュシュシュシュ!!!!

Hey guys!

IM FRESH!!

I went out with the Nankoku people yesterday and it was SO fun. I talked and relaxed and laughted like I never had since I came to the big pineapple. It has been a while since I have hugged or been hugged too.

Quite amazing.

Now i know how much people are close.

むうふふふふふっふふふふ!

IM FREEEESH!

I will post some photos here.
Btw, ICU was great! the campus is so big you just need a bike to move from place to place in the uni.
And most of the campus is green. So literally its a forest.haha

I've found out about the 履修登録 thing. So annoying.
the girl came over and we somehow moved the topic from school and things. She was a RONIN. Just 1浪 but she was nice and we talked for quite a long time.

So, i just took of my make up and brushed my teeth and went to sleep.

Anyways, Hope you all have a nice day :D

love u lots
xoxo

p.s. Ill post some photos I took yesterday

Hello guys

Hi its Uma!
Im at school and i just came back from the health check up.
It was So long and boring. Nothing else to do but wait.
Plus, I dont have any friends to talk to so its even more boring.
Duh.

Yes Uma is in wonder again if she can make any friends. So far I have a few but not many. Haven't spoken to much of them either.
Quite lonely, frankly.
I know its REALLY stupid to say this because school hasnt even started!!! hahaha

Stupid me 

well I better go home and do somethig. Though, I don't really have anything to do even if i get home early.
I dont have anything to do at school either.

AA!

I better figure out my schedule for school.
So far so good.

ってか、絶対一期に16単位とらなきゃいけないの?

That makes it quite bussy.

Woo...I just saw the blond-blue eyed guy with a attitude.
Should have smiled DDOOOOO

Well... my bloggie is getting quite random.

Better go now :)

love u lots!

p.s. I slept well last night! I slept for quite a long time.
From 11-7!
The sleep was deep too.
I should go for a run today too maybe.
Before the party!!!! xD

Friends and smiles and boring orientations

sdgawe yesterday, I had real fun and that day i couldnt sleep again.
Tossing around. I guess Im still VERY tense about the new enviroment although I thought I was all Ok. Well, I might have a run to make myself tired.

Anyways, about today. today was the boring presentation.
It was too. I slept the later afternoon one.
Though, we were listening to this Senior talk (Oil, female) and she was... how should I say this.

ECCENTRIC

Yea, like MGMT music I guess. Full of energy and she said that she used to be really shy and she couldn't make friends and the first semester, she was in the toilet eating gummies. But she is now having the time of her life because, she tried to be herself through art work rather than following the old ヨビコウway. She said you should completely forget what you have learned there and try to find what and WHO you are and what exactly you are interested in.

まーとりあえず、 I had luch today with two of my friends. Very nice girls. We were eating and watching MUSA社交(競技)ダンスclub demonstration in the middle of the whole school.
It was amazing more than hilarious, those guys. The dance club has been going on for like 40years and its famous for it.

そうだ、I found a musa english-speaking-circle and IM SOOO GOING TO JOIN IT. Also in the 国際交流説明会、the 国際centre lady said there is this group called MESA(musashino-english-speaking-association) and Sokka, where they have parties and picnics with the students who come from over-seas.

Woo, exciting!

More excited about tomorrow. 国際交流 party is on!

anyways, im off to the 国際centre. I'm going to ask about the MESA and Sokka thingy.

BETTER!!!

Hey guys!

Today was the other orientation with all the DEJO students!
I was expecting something really boring like yesterday and something taht is going to literally be a pain in the bum but

NO!!!!!

IT WAS'T!

woooo

What a pleasant surprise!

I actually made about  50 mates!(all girls, mind you. No boys ever spoke to me)

Anyways, the presentation wernt really well.
The teachers all seemed more relaxed than they did went I to the exam!!
And much funnier. They all seemed quite curious of me since Im the one who came into MAU by the KOBO. Well, I expect they dont do anything since they are very smart adults.

ANyways, I made friends with a lot of non japanese JAPANESE people. They didn't seem japanese-is because they were so friendly and everyone seemed realxed.  I even saw 2 of the Kawaii-RO-NINS.
The ones who looked as if they were the people who rule the JUKU.
Though, when I saw them at the DEJO orientation-lunch, they were very nice and open to me. Not demanding or looking me with their white eyes.

Oh, yes we had lunch given! So much for me I regretted that I got lunch ready that morning...Rice and Pork.

While everyone was having lunch and getting cheer-y, I got my name called out. And me, すずきちゃん(I finally met her!! We hugged and she accepted it! wooo what a international-moment) and this other girl, who was accepted last year who couldnt participate classes last year for some reason and doing the fresh-men again, got a special orientaton by the guy who was likely to rule and take care of me for uni. AKA Mr. Nagasawa who graduated Royal in the UK. FCUK. ahaha

He was funny and said the way for ME to rule MAU was to be charimng loving and funny. (And he also advised to eat a banana since art uni is going to be hard and energetic.)

Anyways, today seemed like chaos carniaval. Its like I just woke up this morning.

Ah, yes better tell you this!

Im doing a-ok with my sleeping.
Not much problems anymore. Sorry for all the worrying froggo mini and major!!...:(

Life here is going to be super fun. I know it! I SMELL IT, CAN TASTE IT HEAR IT AND RIDE MY BIKE WITH IT.

wooo

My brain-y is going to so explode

Hello people!

Today was the orientation and I thought yesterdays LONG speeches of three men were worse, guess what!????

Todays was far more longer.

And totally Sleep-a-licious. I didnt of course sleep. Its too important to. But mind you about a hundred people were dead.

Anywayts, its 3 o clock and I already vacuumed my apartman and I wanted to hang around school people watching strange people so Im here at the desing informatics building with the newest and sleekest Mac computers.

I dont think its the library here but There are a lot of books.
Oh whatever.

I reported to my Nankoku mates about the entrance rock concert ceremony and they were all "いいなああああああああん!" ”すっげえ”
 yea it is. Anyways, one of my mates said she is wishing for me to be one of the "rich and famous" people in UniMAU.
But I think its more "strange and weird" than "rich and famous"..haha

Its all about you here.
One of the art students free mags said that Uni is war-land(WAR-LAND? IS THAT A WORD?戦場ね。) i didn't think so the first day but now I know what it mean... Everyone is trying to out do each other by dressing strange. Like being a rabbit and wearing a rubber horses head.
Well...Im just about hte normal person here. With my lime green shirt.

Anyways, enough about the people.
今日、むさびの歴史についてまなんだんだけど、 the guy who was telling us the history was SO passionate and he was all "PEOPLE THIS UNIVERSITY IS GREAT! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT HERE, YOU ARE AN ALIEN!!" 
He also said somevery interesting things. Thats how I learned that art people don't like the government because, once in WWI, the government abandoned art and completely stopped supporting the schools. And according to the passionate guy, who speaks terrible english, Musa and Tama and tokyo art Uni had a hard hard time. 

SERENDIPITY!!

THEY DIDNT SING THE ANTHEM BECAUSE THEY DONT LIKE AAAAAAAAASH-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AND HIS SHORT-LEGGED BOLDING FRIENDS!


a-ha!
xoxo

p.s. I made friends with this girl called Mika. She had a ligh-green back pack, chopped off hair, cheked tights and a gray sweater.
cool.
She was also very funny.
We are, supposely, going to meet at the 芸祭執行部新歓。 

Anyways, better go. There's this guy with a ballerina head and black rimmed glasses plus, red-wing moutain boots and his girl friend so see you! :)))

THIS IS THE DAAAY!

Hello this is the MAU UMA.
Yes today was the day people!!
the entrance ceremony!

Trying to describe it with all my vocab is not easy but ill try....

The word for toays ceremon is...

BIZARRE

Yes. BIZARRE.

The people there are dressing strange and looked like they are saying "U KNO IM 2 KOOL 4 YA?". haha

anyways, i took photos likle crazy that the girls who were next to me were suspicious so here it is....

Bunnies...at a ceremony. After this, I saw a santa claus.
These rabbits dont speak you know?



Wooo is this disco!?!? haha

Yes something is happening...SMOKE!

教授の人たちが校歌を歌った。むさしいいいのびじゅつ
むさしのびじゅつうううううううう フレえええええっつ フレエエエエ!!
what the heck!?haha At least Uma didnt have to sing it.
We didnt sing the national anthem either.(good news i guess)

So, the 学長 spoke. A LONG ONE.
And he mentioned the 倍率 of this year.
「一般は平均で倍率12。センター試験は平均で28という結果となりました」

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHAAATTTT??

Then, from that second on, I felt as if me entering this school "IS" a real miracle.

And after the LONG LONG LONG NEVER ENDING SPEECHED OF "MEN",

There was a short performance.

Some really slow motion balloons and strange looking people and people balloons
にょきにょきにょっき!ってかんじ




Then, ALL OF A SUDDEN, GOLD GOLD GOLD!!!
So much gold that i thought it was a D&G show.


Plus, a disco ball.WOOO saturday night fever yo!

I guess this is a once in a life time thing but it was AMAZING.


Anyways, see you later!

ぐうううううううっちょもーにんゔぃえっとなあああむ

おはようごじゃりMAU なんちって
今日は、睡眠薬かんぽうちゃんと、耳栓ちゃんのお影で
i slept SO WELL!!!! I probably sle
pt for 8hours. Plus, the sleep was so deep that i dont think i had a dream. Which is good. Ah! no i actually had a dream!! I was at a strange starbucks with my family and i ordered this strage but nice soy drink.
The guy who was serving me was nice too but a terrorist type people came crashing into the shop. Somehow, they were after me and i had to run and hide.
It wasnt a bad dream though.


Yesterday, I skyped with my family and after that i had a bath, did laudry and had milk and honey and wrote my blog went to bed with my best mate, my pillow. One thing I forgot to do w
as to post a photo of the dinner I had that day.

So,here it is


My dinner. おかゆとみそしる!と初めて飲んだめちゃくちゃああああ濃いお茶 I think I had about a 2days worth of カテキン。
お茶青汁だな


and this is my brekkie

A whole TOfU. I have yoghurt in the photo but i was too full to have it.


Anyways, I was watching telly while eating today in stead of the radio (because they had cheesy 80s musique) and saw a special 新日曜美術館program on it. The guest of the program was 村上隆。 Frankly, I really dont like him so i thought i would skip it. But I actually got sucked into the program. What I discovered? 村上隆 is not dumb or 気持ち悪い when he talks. He is quite smart and is not scared for speaking out his thoughts. That might be one of the reasons why america+ the world likes him. Japanese people CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be humble or modest when it comes to 自己表現for the world.

それとサンデーなんちゃら見て、写真家の浅井慎平と法政大学の優子先生と、辺真一 + other two people の北朝鮮の問題とか国家の問題とかの話し合い見てた。 You, know, so that I can learn about something.
But they ended up saying the same thing: That japanese people are being too 仕方ない and being controlled by the government.

そうだよなあ

仕方ないっていう発想は危険なんだって

LIKE DUH.


Anyways, Im off cooking sausages.

xoxo








Photos and sleeping and a sprise packege

So, its been around 4days since i have started to live with me and its been quite well.

Except for, at night. I CAN'T SLEEP.
My adrenalin in my brain is too high= Im in tense unconsiously.

I even take sleeping medici
ne to try and sleep.

Anyways, Uma will post photos she has been taking around her house, and her food.


This is the road i have to take to go to uni.
Its really nice and theres a river right next to here. High schoolers unistudents and normal old people and kids use this road.











My official first rice i have ever made.






















My very nice lettuce sand which miso soup and milk!











Sausage and peanut cream sandwhich.















I think im doing alright.

All i have to do is to sleep...


hope i can sleep soon seriously.

xoxo

M.I.A in T.K.O

Hello there!!
Im now officially in tokyo living with me, myself and I!!

It broke my 寒天heart leaving my family but the people at the town are so nice that i feel like Im getting accepted from all the town and the neightbours of my apartman.
Its a really nice feeling.超心地よい
Plus, my apartman is really warm and i listen to the 極東radio (fareast radio?) and am filling my brainy with english like a maniac.

anyways, i cycled to the university im entering in another 3days.
it had some construction going on but students where going in and out of the place and it was in a very easy location to cycle that im so excited of going to school and learning stuff.
although, i still feel a little anxious about school. Not much about friends and people but the studies. HOW IS IT GOING TO WORK??
but i guess, if i already knew the answer to this, it will be so boring so i might as well see this as fun. fun fun fun...

Ill post some photos of the river and school im going to tomorrow because today is already late...

good night!

xoxo
