Hello, guys. It's been a while since I wrote about daily trivial stuff but right now I;'m facing one hour and a half of pure free time so here I come.
"Why aren't you studying?", you ask? Well I do have exams next week, but every Friday there's a one hour and a half gap between my Digital Signal Processing and English classes, so it's not like I'm getting a book right now and start studying.
Because I'm a very bad student. I know.
In Japan there is something that the youth calls "May disease". I think it's because after you come back from short Spring vacations, you don't feel like going to university. At all. However, this year I felt nothing particular. Until now. I think I'm having July disease.
I'm actually enjoying university because since I got into the second year, I've been able to study much more "subjects I like" rather than "subjects I should like". What happens is that in the end of semester I'm practically drained. Maybe it's because, even with fewer classes, all of them start early.
Also... relating to other people is something that's becoming beyond my abilities. I have a couple of friends I can't stop talking to: in person, on the cellphone, through Skype or Facebook; whenever we're apart we're exchanging stupid messages. But the other people... I don't get what they're thinking, their intentions, their notion of "friendship" and "companionship". People here seem more interested in if I can actually dance Samba instead of how my day was and how I'm feeling. I don't mean to sound kiddish or "pitiful, lonely me", it's just what's on my mind. The Japanese I know are so introspective.
Another thing: I started thinking that I want to know a lot of places and meet many people. I have to study a lot so I can apply to other universities out there. And maybe be a traveling, work-at-home programmer. Just a teenage dream, but it's a dream alright. Right?

lucky you can have "teenage dreams". i'm not even teenage anymore.
ReplyDeleteAlisson, my dear! I also asked myself the same thing. "Friendship" to japanese people always seemed a little bit different to me. Many times I felt like I was only being "used". After returning to Brazil I felt that most of people talked to me to learn portuguese or to have a place to stay in Rio. Some good "friends" never sent me a single message, a "hello, are you alive?". Maybe the way most of japanese people see friendship is too different from mine. I don't know! XD
