面接？何の面接？

Sam's uselessness reaches a whole new level

The title of this post is misleading, mostly because it implies I am responsible for the medium sized fail that follows, when in reality i'm entirely out the ven diagram of responsibly.

Ven diagram of responsibility 

Now that's out of the way, the story is as follows. Yesterday I attended the first orientation meeting which, as you may have read on my previous amazingly interesting blog post, was very difficult to understand. Alongside this they dumped a bagful of information on our desks containing all the useful and totally insignificant details about the coming week. 

So in order to find my dates and interview times I sifted through the mountainous heap of total drivel they provided and eventually decided I better double check my information. This is when the seed of trouble was sown. I asked for the english version of the data we had been given (this was provided to the other english-track classes) in order to double check my translations. However it turns out that I was not given the same version. <-- nice work Meiji. 

This meant this afternoon at 2pm while everybody else was at an interview I was reading a magazine and doing my hair. It was only after they rang the accommodation at 2:30pm looking for me that I actually was properly notified of my meeting. Thanks english-version providing lady.

Accurate portrayal of my feelings regarding this.

Anyway it was all fine, the guy who runs the house here rang the campus and explained the version of the schedule I had was wrong, despite the fact I ended up being over 2 hours late. 

Nakano Campus!

I dont have too much to say regarding this campus at the moment as I'm yet to have any classes there. BUT when I do I will do a full tour and tell you guys all about it.

For now I will tell you about what I learned on the tour of the building. The main point I wish to convey is, the building is soooo nice. It's all new and swanky with glass bits and bobs and stylistic numbers on doors. Heres a picture of the entrance!

OOOOOOOO

The only thing that has begun to annoy me already is the floor plan. There are two main blocks of the building but you can only get between them on floors 3 and 6, this means getting to the other floors causes a slight inconvenience in my day. How irksome!

I ALSO FOUND OUT TODAY THAT MEIJI'S MASCOT IS AN OWL!!

It's super cute and called 'めいじろう' a combination of the words 明治 (the uni name) and ふくろう (owl). It's purple and snuggly looking in its face and I wish to purchase many things with it on including but not limited to, mugs, pencils and stuffed toys.

LOOK AT HIM!

While we are on the topic of purple animals I also saw this today:

Foldy bum? what?

Only in Japan. Peace out.
