Placement Test

I took a placement test in the morning. The test result is 600 class!(the most difficult class)

There were many Japanese and Korean in orientation, but I could also see many European (German and French). Acutally, they came here to take UCP(university credit program) the same as me, so they said they wouldn't take ESL class. I talked with some German. They said they majored in business, logistics, and so on. They can speak much more fluently than Asian, so I wondered why they were here. I'll take UCP orientation tomorrow. I'm worried whether I can keep up with their talk.

Birthday Party

My room mate Sun's birthday party was held at our rooom yesterday.

Sun is outgoing guy, so he has so many friends and they got together at our room.

We enjoyed eating pizza and beer. I also could make many friends which came from Korean, Chinese, Turkey, and so on because of this party. I also met three Japanese Students in Waseda University. They belong to School of International Liberal Arts in Waseda University. They used English textbook and took a lecture by Native speaker in Japan. That's why they said class in main campus was not so difficult for us.

I can't believe that.... Anyway, I had a good time yesterday. I'm looking forward to taking classes in next quarter

ユナイテッド航空のOnline Easy Check-in

今、出国手続きを済ませ、搭乗待ちです。暇です。

チェックインも済ませましたが、ユナイテッド航空を利用しているので、チェックインは搭乗手続きの24時間前からインターネット上で行うことができました。

なので当日は、チェックインカウンターで列を作って並んでいましたが、そこで待つことなく、荷物を預けてもらうことができました。

また、最近では航空会社が滞在先の住所を聞くよう義務付けられており、そのせいでチェックインで待つ時間が長くなってしまっているのですが、オンラインチェックインだと、これもインターネット上で記入できるので、カウンターではほとんど待つことなく荷物を預けることができました。

この点ではユナイテッドは良いかと思います。ただJALやANAには普通付いているポータブルTVが付いてないのはどうかと。。

あと、向こうではInternational Villageという学生寮に泊まる予定です。

それではもうすぐ搭乗なのでいってきます
