So far...
Well, all the euphoria over a new life change has passed, so I'm already setting my routine here. I just want to find some exercise... fast!
Other than that, for now Japanese classes, lab work (mostly lectures so far...) and some exploring keep me busy enough.
Still, here, more than when I was in Brazil, there are some events to shake things a little.
For example, the lab's welcome party (May 23rd). Well, I'd say it was a dinner. But those chances to meet labmates outside of "work" may be good to estabilish some friendship... Well, not so far, but I'll have a long time for that. At least it was enough to feel the "atmosphere"... and I can say I liked it. No unnecessary "workaholicism", just to say one thing.
Also, Lucias' birthday (May 26th). There are two Brazilian students named Lucia here, and their birthday is just one day from each other. Call it coincidence.
What can I say? Those "happy hours" with other Brazilian students (not all of them are Brazilian and students, though) are always nice! Something that helps me keeping my sanity... hehehe...
There was also Shell's birthday back in Himeji (June 2nd). Starting with a dinner at a place called IVY, I guess, and followed by the traditional Tiger. There was even a Chi-chan hand-made cake! Guess she'll be Jon's successor in cake-making, hehe...
Well, I was just embarassed by two things: first, I was the only one who forgot something really basic about birthdays... the present! As a friend in Brazil would say, that's really like Igor... Ouch... I even got a huge hint of what to buy during a MSN talk, but I forgot about it. Ah, well...
The second one was a result from a miscalculation. Since Shell's birthday celebration would start on evening, I thought that it'd be a good idea to go to Himeji earlier and stroll around, like the old times (but without my favorite partner for that). It was nice to see how much things change (or not) in one year, but I was tired at the end of the day. So, I spend most of the time in Tiger dozing... or trying.
Well, not so different than my usual self there one year ago, right?
Ah, as for the pictures, I decided to put none from the welcome party and Lucias' birthday. So, in order to make it fair, I won't put any of Shell's too. Sorry for that, but Shell's and Makoto's blogs have plenty of them. Meg's may have some too... someday (nothing so far...).
