During the 1st semester, I usually had 3-4 classes (Mon-Fri) of 1.5
hours each. After coming back to the dorm at around 4:30 PM, I had tocomplete the given homework and study for tests. I always had to
manage time carefully. Apart from academic work, I even had to cook
food, clean my room and do my laundry. Although I had a busy
schedule during the weekdays, I would try to keep a light weekend.
During the weekend I would go for early morning jogs or go to playsome sports (football, basketball, etc.) with friends. We would often goand try out new restaurants. When very stressed out, some of myfriends and I would often go for karaoke, watch movies, walk around
Nagoya or even play online multiplayer games!
