Rebooting internet connection...
I'M ONLIIIINE!!!<333 (Vol.II)

Oh my gaawd, finally! I don't even want to know for how long I've been talking with this guy on the phone to install internet in my room and how many problems I faced ("Blank boxes? Yes, I do see the two blank boxes, but why on earth won't they accept neither my user ID nor my password???"), but finally, finally I have my own internet access!
And yes, I did say that I didn't want my own connection, no-no, never. But when I asked for a phone line in my room (also known as the "parents' hot line"~♥), it almost seemed stupid not to have an internet connection in my room as well, especially as the advantages of the infamous internet lounge of the hall are rather limited as I got to know.
Very limited indeed. Not even mentioning the hard chairs and small tables and shaky LAN cables here, I was a bit frustrated at how lame the connection was at times. But the most frustrating part was that my beautiful plan to come in contact with some of the japanese girls here that way was a total failure, and more than that, few were the occasions when my existence seemed to be more than made of thin air for them, whether it was for holding a door open or a simple "hello", let alone for more. And no, don't worry, not all the Japanese are like that... but it seems like that special type that lives in its own little bubble, untouchable for the rest of the world (including other Japanese) has built a nest here.
Just our luck. But well, at least now I don't have to balance my whole computer equipment plus homework stuff plus Pocky sticks plus other obligatory working material two floors up through the rain whenever I have to access internet anymore...
Plus, I'm very sorry to hang that much behind for the email stuff, I'll admit that I haven't even checked my emails for at least a week now, not to mention that when I did, I didn't have the time at all to reply to most of them. This is my homework for today and the rest of the week, updating my journal and catching up with comments and emails. *coughs*

By the way, if anyone wants my new fixed or mobile phone number or my mobile phone email address, just ask and I'll send you a personal message or email. (Chochajiiiin, I'll be sending you a PM right away!<3):)


Ok, that's all for now, I have to rush and go for some groceries before my motivation lets me down for today, but the next entry might come up this evening, maybe even with a few photos!

Ja, mata ne...~♥

Glückwunsch! :D Hab mich schon gewundert, wo du abgeblieben bist. Dann kann ja jetzt nix mehr schiefgehen - abgesehen von dem Fakt, dass du offenbar mit einem Haufen kontakt-un-freudiger Mädels eingesperrt bist... :-(

Danke!:D Und, ähm, ja, wo ich abgeblieben bin könnte eine längere Geschichte werden, wenn es im Grunde genommen nicht so völlig banal und uninteressant wäre...;>_>
Nya, in der Uni habe ich ein biiisschen mehr Glück gehabt, aber im Wohnheim ist es wirklich erschreckend wie kontaktunlustig die Mädels sind. Auch untereinander, und auch wenn's nur darum geht in der Lounge die anderen Anwesenden zu fragen ob man den Fernseher an- oder ausmachen kann bzw. ob das jemanden stört.Oo;

Auch von mir herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Japaner können ja manchmal so dumm sein .__. Und mal ehrlich, stell dir erstmal den Winter vor, wo du die ganzen Sachen über den Flur hättest schleppen müssen.

Danke!
Und tja, ich weiß jetzt immerhin, dass ich von den Mädels im Wohnheim nicht viel zu erwarten habe. Dafür sind zum Beispiel unsere Tutorinnen urlieb, also sind nicht alle Japanerinnen so, das ist auch beruhigend zu wissen.:)
(Stimmt, an den Winter hatte ich noch gar nicht gedacht, aber bei einem Taifun zur Lounge zu gehen kam mir schon wenig einladend vor.;>_>)

It's great to have you back :D I've been wondering what happened to you.

Oh and I think you've made the right decision in getting your own internet access. Maybe it's just me but I would always have felt kinda uncomfortable sitting in the lounge reading my mails, doing my work, etc. But maybe that really is just me ^^;

By the way, I'm sorry that the japanese girls seem to be so... unsocial .,.

Well, nothing really happened... except that I felt a lot more like enjoying my first month in Japan somewhere else than it that sticky and overheated lounge where you're nothing but thin air for the occupants.>_> I'm really sorry for not being online all that often now! I hope everything is fine for you? Have you started university yet?

I'm with you about the own internet access. Two weeks ago I would still have been disagreeing, but having to go to the lounge indeed barred me from a lot of things. It's not so much that I felt weird reading my mails or working there and such although I really didn't dare to watch anything on Youtube, Veoh & Co, but rather that my time there was really limited. Either because I didn't bother to drag the (rather heavy) power supply unit plus adapter with me and had to rely on my battery only, or because the air was so hot and sticky in there that I couldn't stay there for long without getting a nice and neat headache afterwards.

Not all of them are, our tutors for example are so much fun around!:D But those girls in the hall... yeah, about 95% gave me a pretty unsocial first impression.;>_>

Hoppla, da ist ja noch ein Post. Hatte ich gar nicht gesehen. Damit hat sich die Handy Frage ja erledigt. ^^; Los, rück die Nummer und die Email-Addy raus. *gg*

Ich hab mein Handy übrigens aus Versehen mit nach Hause mitgenommen, weil ich dank Stau auf der Autobahn um ein Haar mein Flugzeug verpasst hätte und nur noch losgerannt bin. Aber es hat zwei Minuten später schlapp gemacht und das Ladekabel hatte ich natürlich nicht in der Tasche, also liegt es jetzt unbenutzbar bei mir rum, bis ich das nächste Mal in Japan bin. <<

Wird gleich verschickt. *gg* Warum, hast du schon deine nächste Reise hierher geplant?:D Uffza auch wegen dem Flugzeug. Seitdem ich einmal in sprichwörtlich letzter Minute in mein Flugzeug gesprungen bin, kriege ich Gänsehaut bei dem Gedanken einen Flug zu verpassen.^^;

Geplant wäre zu viel gesagt. Erst mal muss ich wieder ein bißchen Geld zusammensparen. Aber ich habe schon vor so im April oder Mai wieder zu fahren. Die Sehnsucht, die Sehnsucht... und die Möglichkeit meiner bis dahin hoffentlich fast fertigen Magisterarbeit mit Hilfe der Kokkai Toshokan den letzten Schliff zu geben... ^^;

Falscher Account *headdesk*

Hee, dann freue ich mich dich (hoffentlich) so bald wiederzusehen!~♥
Und oooh ja, der Kokkai Toshokan... Ich muss mich endlich mal richtig zusammenreissen und was für meine eigene Magisterarbeit tun!>_
