I attended the classes.
I submitted all assignments on time.
I presented my research progress.
Just been there, done that.
Everything was going well for me. I went solo traveling to many places. I didn't push hard my life to study, I didn't intend to have a part time job. I didn't calculate my expenses.
I might be able to do this whole of my life. Taking class just for knowledge transfer, but not RESEARCH. The research project class was so challenging. Although it's not my turn to present, I still got nerveous. In my department, there were 6 professors attending the class and all of them were keen to comment and ask.
Speaking of student life...
Master students in the second year is coded M2, the student ID was very crucial. It's access to all facilities in the building, libraries, tourism spots, and highway bus ticket. Actually, in my view, all professors teaching us were nice, generous and negotiable. They just did what they had to do, never overcharged us with 2 or 3 assignments, and very appreciative. We may freely use printer with limited number of papers per semester and copy card for photocopy machine. Everything was just do-it-yourself, though.
Yet, it's such difficult to make friend and hang out with the Japanese, even the Chinese. You may mingle and laugh with them today, then consider they never exist in the following days. So awkward.
