I woke up quite early—about an hour or so

  before my alarm clock was to turn off. I then

      packed my bag for school, ate something,

         and went through my photos of

              the day before.

 I went down at 8:15 to wait for my classmates so that we could be lead to the schools location.

We then listened to a couple of speeches, and after that we went downstairs to take the placement test.

The listening part of the test was less about how well you can listen and was more about how fast can you write.

The Grammar part was good. We were given basically 4 pieces of paper and filled in the blanks with particles and conjugations. There were also circle the correct answer problems as well.

After that was the interview, where they basically discuss with you what class you're probably going to be placed in. I was told I got in Level 2, but I begged to be placed in Level 3. I will not know for sure what class I will be in until the next class day.

Everyone is basically done with their test by 1:30 pm, but most people were finished earlier than that--because there are only so many interviewers. Once tthe test was over, you could leave and do what ever you wanted.

After the tour, some of us girls walked around and eventually got something to eat at Ichiran Shinjuku Kabuki-cho.

We had to buy the ramen we wanted with a ticket machine, and then we circled how spicy, etc we wanted the ramen to be on some paper.

We then had to wait for there to be some open spots for us to sit. Becuase there were so many of us, we waited for spots that allowed for two people to sit together rather than going for a spot that made only one person sit alone or waiting for enough spots to open up for everyone to sit at once.

The Booth was cute and very enclosed. Everyone had their own water fountain, which was so interesting. I have never seen anything like that before. I really liked that.

a little after 4, I went off on my own and did some shopping at Big Camera.

The Rem figure was from a different store.

The Ramen was also extremely yummy.

After that, I headed home and at the closest market to my dorm, I bought some items to make food with.
