New Phases, New changes (Nov 12)
Sorry it’s been a while. I’ve been busy with tests and exams and trying to balance my mess of a life. Other than that I’ve actually had some writer’s block. This entry was meant to be about something entirely different but I thought, screw it! Might as well just write what’s on my mind. The last few weeks have [...]


A Really Bad Day PartII; …You’re Not My Hero… (Nov 1)
I was just about to arrive at the bike park when a group of boys from some sort of sports team saw me and decided to intersect my path. They encircle me and I have to stop abruptly. One of them decides to say the equivalent of “Hey baby, do you like Japanese boys?” [...]


A Really Bad Day; Medical History Round 2!…Fight! (Oct 31)
A few days ago I had terrible luck in everything I did. The sheer amount of crap life threw at me that day was just immense that it was hillarious. Here’s some of the stuff that happened; I woke up 10 minutes before I had to leave for university because my alarm decided not to [...]


Inexplicable Phenomena (Oct 28)
One day last week I was at university. It was a seeminly boring day. I hadn’t slept very much because of the workload and had to go in extra early to labs. I finished earlier than expected and needed some help from the administration office. I got in the lift and walked to the back. It [...]


More Class Antics (Oct 25)
So my Japanese class is pretty interesting, we’ve established that, but since Jaws mysteriously disappeared a few of weeks ago it’s been pretty tame. That was until one morning… We were in the middle of class and were asked to write some sentences to prove that we could all use the grammar pattern we just [...]


Abuse! (Oct 24)
So Hayden decided to have a flat party last week and everyone was invited. I got back from labs really late and went straight there. When I got there, the English boys who I shall call Tom and Harry, had already started getting drunk. As usual, Dixie was drunk as well but Smith was sitting quietly [...]


Profiles (Oct 22)
So what are the people like here? At university, as you would expect there are some interesting people to meet, and at a place like this that has one of the biggest exchange programmes in Japan, there’s quite a mix of some intriguing people. Here’s some of the people I’ve met. First up is [...]


Maid in Akihabara (Oct 20)
So you guys already know how kind Firefly’s been to me since I came here. For one, the last thing he posted on his blog was about me, and for anyone reading to give me support, which I am truly indebted to you for! So one day I discovered Gmail had chat when Firefly decided [...]


Swollen Ad-Cleaner! (Oct 11)
Forgive me if I don’t post in a while because my hand is swollen and this is why. (This also took me bloody ages to write!); We have 2 kittens living under the building, one white, one black. Japan has no RSPCA (Royal Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) or the like so these [...]


Medical History (Oct 7)
Advena, for those of you who were wondering, means “Foreign/Alien” in Latin. There’s another word used for foreign and Advena is more “alien”. I suppose I chose the right word for my username because I have never felt as much of an alien as I did today. Smith and I decided to be adventurous and [...]
