first rainy day in japan, and i got drenched! yes i know i sound mildly happy and it's weird to be happy when you're soaked to the skin and shivering in the cold but it was really kind of fun. it's been raining since the morning, and you hardly ever get rain that lasts so long in singapore. just to prove that i'm normal, i was really quite miserable when trudging back in the rain, but i think one of the nicest things about rainy days is how comfortable it feels to be sitting inside, dry and out of the rain. it's only when i'm actually caught in the rain that i don't like the rain. really hoping i don't fall sick though! that's something i definitely don't want to experience when i'm here almost all alone.
the wet clothes are really a bother though, because i hadn't planned on doing laundry till the weekend. usually i fold up the clothes to be washed and stack them in a pile in the closet, but because they're so wet i can't do anything to them yet. now they're just hanging around and i'm hoping they'll become relatively dry! my poor gap pullover is also very wet and i'm a bit worried about washing that one because the colour might run. maybe i could wash it with the jeans or something.
it's apparently also going to rain tomorrow, and i really don't want to have to go out! but tomorrow's the only free day i have in common with my tutor for this week, so we'll have to go out really early in the morning to open a bank account. i think i'll chance it wearing my flip flops haha although it gets bitterly cold when it rains and in the morning. bringing my doc martens was such a mistake! i baby them so much at home already and refuse to wear them if i'm going to be doing a lot of walking or if it's raining because i don't want to get them dirty. here i doubt there'll ever be a day i decide wearing them will be safe. maybe when i'm absolutely sure it's not going to rain and when i'm only going to walk to the language centre next to my dorm haha.
placement test today went okay, i think. at least i got into the level i wanted to get in. crossing my fingers and hoping that it'll be mappable to japanese 6 back at nus. i really don't want to take japanese 6 at nus because i don't think it'll be with nagami sensei and i'm way too used to the way he teaches and the pace of his teaching. classes start on friday and i think i'm kind of looking forward to classes actually. i feel like such a nerd haha but i haven't been a student for almost five months! you know how they always say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. so not having school work makes me miss school work. it's really logical! i'm not weird. honest.
maroon 5's how is on repeat this week! it's not as well-known a song from their hands all over album, and honestly i hadn't heard of it until we got the album for my brother. it's a really good song though! adam levine's voice is amazing as usual.
