Wifi!

Now I've been here in Chiba for almost two whole weeks! Can't say that I am used to it or anything like that but I can say that I know a bit more how everything works in school and such. It feels a bit odd to not have regular practice lessons to every course I'm taking but I think I'll get used to that part. But sometimes during the lectures they without warning they give out some math work or statistical 問題 or something like that and then you have too little time to realize what you just received before it's time to turn it in. Of course the japanese people doesn't have the same problem as me instead they yawn and scribble down something fast. Perhaps I'll manage to survive those random tasks later on.

I went to a quantum mechanics introduction course this monday, that was a interesting experience that I hope I'll never have to do again. When the teacher enters the classroom he says something about that the regular teacher is not here today and we are going to to some practice.. and he gives out a paper with something I actually could read. But sadly that was the only thing I could do with the paper because the task was to prof some kind of complex matrices or something, and I saw like a questionmark for half an hour then left the classroom in shame. Sadly I have to get back because even that it was hard there is probably not any easier course in quantum mechanics. . .

Other then studying, I've visited the aikido club here once and tried it out. It was a bit different from what I've been training in sweden but the basic principle is the same. The aikido trains 3 times a week but sadly I can only attend to max 2 of them. On wednesday I got the honor to listen to someone from my professors office (研究室、forskarrum?) when he (probably.. not seen many girls) tells about a report/letter/article that is relevant to the science they do. The speaker speaks in japanese and has powerpoint slides in english, and afterwards people ask questions. The one I've been to this far was kinda hard to understand the japanese part but reading the english part was easy ^_^.

I've also decided to go down one level in the japanese course, mainly because one of my teachers more or less asked me to do it, and also because I think I can practice a lot more talking at that level. Hopefully I did the right choice!

Just to make this a bit longer I can report that connecting my Macbook air with the university's wifi seems like a impossible task. I asked the it-support for help and one guy tried his best to connect to the wifi but after alot of trying he just showed me an now unused relic from the past, a wep wifi that my computer actually could connect to. What the problem with the wpa one is still unclear.
