Welcome Back

I'm back in Japan after my winter term hiatus!

I've moved into my dorm, Seminar House 3, though since we're still in orientation week, residents aren't allowed to have all their keys yet. This means that kitchen utensils and coat closets are off limits. So our dorm rooms are cluttered with outerwear and residents are forced to subsist on cup ramen.

Orientation for extension students is, unfortunately, repetitive and boring. After signing up for classes, there's not much for us to do. I've done some food shopping, but that's it. Since I have some downtime, here's a quick tour of Sem3.

This is the door into our flat. I'm in room 3333, which I share with my roomie Maarit (she's Finnish!)

The lounge. Our TV is broken at the moment.

Our bathroom. Equipped with three shower stalls...
...and two toilets.
