To My Kouhai's

So you've gotten the MEXT scholarship! おめでとう!

Now, if you're anything like me, you might have started worrying about preparations, and so, look like this:

Or maybe it was just me.

But I think some of you have questions (and a few of you have asked me, I hope I helped!), and I'd like to help. Please tell me your questions via comments, and I'll do a blog post and try to answer. You can ask about things like what to pack, how much money do you really need (if you don't trust the embassy(; ), what do the rooms come with, orientation and such.

UNIVERSITY POSTING!!! (MEXT Undergraduate Scholarship)

So today is the first day of school. And when everyone goes for lunch, lo and behold, the university postings are out! (Even though we were told to wait for the tenth). Of course, me being me, I only found out on the way back to the dorm O...TL. I just gobbled some food and rushed back to open the Envelope (which deserves a capitalisation).

At first, I didn't want to tell anyone my posting (I'm not putting it on facebook), although I've already told those who asked. But then I remembered, I have so many kohai's here, and they should know (I know at least one person has asked me). So, here's a little kanji practice for you:
Please excuse my messy table

 I'm not sure if I can bring myself to type the name, but I'm sure most of you can figure out where it is. Since I've actually got the campus guide, so I suppose I should start reading it.

Oh, and I should start hunting for a new apartment now.

6 more weeks to go! I don't know if I'm excited or scared.
