Class Registration

We've registered and begun classes. the system is kind of nice in the program. you don't have to register until a week after classes start. so you can visit and check out all the classes and professors and decided after you've visited all of them. pretty sweet.

a little run-down of the school day:

Class periods here are 1:30 minutes hours/period with 15 minutes between classes. there 5 periods a day from 9:10 to 18:15 (6:15) with a universal lunch/break period from 12:25 to 13:20 (1:20). With my load, i have 2-3 classes a day, but if you played your cards right, you could get down to 1 class a day for one or two days a week.

i've managed to somewhat overload myself a bit here too, but this is nothing new. i have one or two too many culture classes, but they only meet once a week and on is a Karate class.

for those interested (some people have been asking me), my classes are as follows:

Japanese Language (required, 8 credits, meets 8 times/week, J/E language of instruction)
Japanese Society (culture, 2 credits, 1/week, E)
Japanese Religion (culture, 2, 1/week, E (some J))
Seminar on Japanese Study: Art and Culture (culture, 2, 1/week, E)
Karate-do (culture, 2, 1/week, J)
