I made it and I'm alive

Things have been really busy ever since arriving in Kyoto. I forgot how much moving into a residence really entails. Couple that with all the orientations we've been doing at the university, and all the goverment forms and such that need to get done and you have little time for anything else. Alien registration, bank accounts, govt. health insurance it's really enough you make your head spin. Hopefully things should cool down a bit next week once classes actually begin. Then I can get out and about and really explore the city. What I've seen so far has been great and I'm sure there's a ton of great things out there just waiting to be found. It's going to be a good year.
