Klara’s Universe

I got accepted to both Waseda University and the Renault Foundation MBA program.
I still haven’t really made up my mind.
I thought I wanted Waseda but the Japanese government takes annoyingly too much time to deliberate if they ‘ll extend my scholarship or not. I will be informed only on the 25th of February…
Should I add that I am supposed to quit my current apartment by 29th February? No way to find a nice apartment which on top of everything accepts foreigners in only 4 days…
And my graduation thesis has merely reached its half…

Life is complicated huh?:P

    Glimpses of Christmas decorations dominating the major centers of Tokyo since early November, almost 2 months before the celebration day itself.  Paradoxically, Japan is far from being even close to a Christian country and the Christmas Day is not one of the otherwise many days off that all salarymen enjoy throughout the year, while people seldomly even give a thought about it in their homes. Here Xmas lives only in the stores and around them, a means for attracting more clients and therefore profit. In a word, commerciocracy at its best!
