On Wednesday I got to find out whether I got into the ceramics class, or if I'd have to pick another discipline to learn. The ceramics was the most full, with the teacher imploring students who weren't really interested to changing to another art. I sat tight, and when he called role for the different classes, mine was the very last name in the ceramics list. I breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the teacher to show up to escort us to the studio. She came, and we walked to the bus stop near campus. We disembarked near the Shinjuku kuyakusho, and walked towards Shinjuku-gyouen, a huge park adjacent to the studio. We got acquainted with the studio and its staff, and headed up to the roof to admire the awesome view. That was all for the day, so I had an adventure trying to find my way back to the train station.
The next day was average, but I had to stick around late to go to the meeting for my group in the Illumination Project (the club that decorates the trees in front of the international studies building). We met up in building 22, and discussed the possibilities for our design decisions. We took a look at the trees outside, and made a short list of the design ideas we came up with. We're supposed to vote on them by next monday, but I have a feeling that I'll forget. This could be fun though, I had a chance to flex my concept-creation muscles, I didn't realize how much I missed brainstorming. I really need something to work on here...

Let me know how ceramics goes. I did some with my second host family in Saitama/Gunma (the house was on the border where Megan lives). The guy was a master at it.
Still curious how the class there was.
Oh, do I understand the feeling of 'give me a project'. I haven't been able to code all semester, and it's killing me.
