For the past week, I spent many hours to audit classes to take, especially Japanese classes. At first, I was nervous to even be in regular classes that Japanese students take. But soon when I met a few of my friends, I was able to relax and to focus on a lecture. My first impression was that the general atmosphere was similar to the classes in the states. It seems that so-called easy classes were full of students, but the others were not. Since my level of Japanese is a problem, I decided to take something that seems to be easy to understand. Thanks to my friends for recommending classes that I should consider. After being in for several classes, I decided to take Macro-Marketing (Business Economics) and Corporate Structure. One thing I was surprised so far is that professors are more lenient than I thought. I was expecting that Japansese professors would be strict and inflexible. In addition, I figured that my Japanese needs improvement... a big one...
But this will provide me an opportunity to learn and challenge me to improve my Japanese.
