I really missed my opportunity not studying my ass off in japanese for the last 8 months before coming here. Trying to meet people is basically impossible if you don't have a conversational level. I'm not in Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto so it's probably harder in certain ways. I do not want to join an anglosphere but at the same time my nipponese is too broken to join some other type of group to socialize. I don't like bringing this angle up but I'm 6ft, white, athletic, and generally think I look approachable.

I'm probably bringing myself bad karma by venting here but man I just want to meet people, either girls or guys. I don't know how the reality of it would be, but it seems like such an ideal situation to meet a girl and just have constant immersion of the language in the sense (and naturally too). In the US, I have friends/had gfs and also had no problem spending time alone and working on my hobbies or improving myself. However, I feel like this is a special opportunity and I'm blowing the start of it by not making connections.I do take classes here but during long weekends like we just, it's been 3 days of basically nothingness. I get outside and do huge walks around the city but it's not like spontaneous things happen. Maybe 20 years ago it would have but yeah.

Sorry for blog. I don't want to vent to plebbit and I have no other community to fall to. I'm here for the next couple months and I guess I just gotta bunker down and studying as much as I can between class and my freetime.
