The tides pull in and out, in and out

I took a deep breath today for the first time since I got here. .

And it was a big one, almost two weeks wroth.

I came home and thought how fast I’ve been moving. Every day I get pulled by the tide of people commuting on the train. You can sometimes see greasy forehead prints from the early rush hour, caked on to the windows of the door. It could be from the people packing in the small box and the unlucky ones that bored later end up by the doors. Or maybe it’s a tired student playing to much Dragon Quest 9 from the night before, resting his face against the glass. I once saw some one fall out of the train from that.

All these busy people, in this small city, thirty five million people are packing into tall narrow building and houses.

I’m just about half way there. I had an interview today with Dorama, a DVD, CD rentals, and they also sell video games. I was surprised that he hired me on the spot.

Tomorrow at 1:30 I have a placement test with The Japanese Institute of language, and an interview after that. I thought I would have to wait tell the new term in January, but I was told I can still start in the middle. But I’m not sure if I will, I’m sure that means I have to catch up to all the students. Ill decided tomorrow when I talk to the school.
