Snow and stuff!

Last monday it snowed about 1dm in an hour. I was sitting in my room playing Starcraft 2, and my friend knocked on my door and asked if I was gonna join in, building a snowman outside. I gave him a weird look and opened the window, and gosh, I tell you, snow had fallen.

After about one hour of snowing we could have a snowball fight without the slightest trouble of finding snow to make snowballs of, and we build a huge snowman (which I'll maybe post pictures on if I find them).

School is alright, but I'm getting tired of a few things about it:

- WAY too much Chinese speaking in the classroom.
- The teachers are too nice to people that aren't following the rules in the classroom (that is, they don't say anything, ever)
- The tests suck, they're corrected the same way as a math test, not as a language test. For example if you try to give an answer to a question about a text in the test, and explain it with your own words, you mostly get points off. Reason? You're supposed to just copy the sentence answering the question, from the text.
- The class' speed is sooo slow. The easiest grammar and the hardest grammar is studied in the same pace, and I have a hard time focusing on the class because it's so boring when it's so slow.
- The school environment. The air in the school is horrid. Everyday I get to school energized and happy, I've been sleeping and eating well and I really want to learn some new stuff, but then I step into the classroom and a few minutes later I just want to fall asleep. The air circulation is somewhere around 0, the windows are rarely opened, and the AC is on minimum power because else people complain that it's too cold. It's' usually around 26-28° in the classroom.

The good thing is the funny people that are in the school, and that you meet people to practice Japanese with, even though the most common spoken language in the school is everyone's mother's tongue. The Chinese speak Chinese, the Koreans speak Korean, the Swedes speak Swedish. I try my best to speak as much Japanese as possible and not speak Swedish in school, and it's working pretty well, and there are students that're actually trying.

I'm thinking of what I should do when this trip is over, or if it's even gonna be over. I haven't got many plans for the time after June this year, and I'm trying to figure out what to do. One thing I can tell you is that I'm not getting back in an office for any longer periods of time again.

See ya next time!
