129. Freshers' Week
Last week was the very first week of the academic year. We (my university) call it Week 0. Week 0 was also called a Freshers' week, which Freshers (new students) have lots of events for the new life. For example, introduction of academic and administrative staff, the courses, how to use the library, societies, etc. There are a few receptions where they can meet other freshers. Oh, and they have to register during this week.
Most of these events except the registration have nothing to do with the returning students like me.
This week is called Week 1 even though it is a second week of the year. From Week 1, the courses (classes) start, and Weeks 1 and 2 are, I call, a trial period. Students go to lectures that they are interested in and decide which 4 lectures they take. If they take the lecture, needless to say, they will have an assignment (usually essay) at the end of the term. So, they need to be careful with deadlines of the assignments. If the deadlines are all before Christmas holiday, that would be a nightmare!
Some of my friends spent their summer holiday in their country. One of them came back from Japan last month and gave me a souvenir! I requested matcha (green tea) chocolate and this (photos) is what she bought for me.
This chocolate is produced by a tea company, so it has a good rich taste. Sooooo tasty! I will not share it with anyone else^^
I miss Japan so much (;_;)

Hi, Momoko san.
What do you study there? It is very hard to study it in English. Yes, you have to read
many books and write chapters in English(of course!!)
Do you usually cook by yourself there? Do you cook Japanese food?
Sorry, I have never lived alone even when I was a university student, so I am very interested in living alone in a foreign coutnry.I can't imagine.
Write me more and more about your life there.
See you.

Hi lucky mom san,
Thank you for your comment!
I study about the English writing system, especially about spelling^^ (but I'm not a good speller!)
Oh, yes, I always cook by myself to save money! I usually cook something easy like spaghetti, okonomi-yaki, fried rice, etc. but surely I cook Japanese food a lot!
Today, I brought niku-jaga and pickled cucumbers for my lunch :-)
> Write me more and more about your life there.
Yes, I should!
