Bend Over and Cough...

Today I began my first week at university proper, having settled my timetable woes. I am in uni a lot less then Cardiff, but I have more private study so it balances out. The day began with a very early start - up at 7am - unthinkable!

We had a medical to check that we weren't aids ridden foreigners intent on polluting Japanese purity, and it all went well. I think I have lost weight since I've been here, and this was confirmed with a BMI of 27.1, which all be it is still 4 or so away from perfect, its an improvement on my post-Marrakesh score of 28 or so. I hope to start running soon and capitalise on my new found lack of appetite.

At one point I had my shirt of for a good 15 minutes outside, waiting for an X-ray. It was in the shade and therefore cold, and everyone else wasn't wearing buttons so could remain dignified. Being 6ft3" I stood out a little from the line. After the embarrassment I was passed fit enough to remain in the country and proceeded to settle my timetabling issues.

I have Japanese everyday, focusing on slightly different disciplines, with supply chain management and general business techniques beefing out the rather anemic timetable. I'm happy enough with it but would prefer the intensive Japanese course that I will endeavour to register for next term.

Heres to that!
