School is an interesting thing. I get to see classmates and some friends, learn some things, and have an opportunity to get out of my home. Of course, there is always homework to do if I attend class, as well as taking one or two tests every week. All in all though, it’s a good time.

After my first quarter (the year is split into quarters), I thought I would have become accustomed to the workload, which would leave me with a bit more free time right about now. Haha, silly me! If anything, class and homework is more intense. At least I don’t have to worry about having nothing to do and becoming absurdly bored like I was during winter break.

Though I would like some free time. The first week or two of this quarter I was looking to study some Chinese. That’s not happening anytime soon now. I was also hoping to finally get some time in with Persona 3 Portable for the PSP. Again, not happening. Same with any other game I might try to play on PSP or 3DS, the only gaming systems I have with me.

Next Friday, our entire school (not just my class) is taking a field trip to 箱根町, or Hakone. It is known for its onsen, or hot springs. Now, I enjoyed going to an onsen during my first trip to Japan about 6 years ago, but I really don’t want to see my classmates’ junk. Thankfully, I don’t think we’ll be going to onsen. Then again, we haven’t been given the itinerary…
