My apartment has pretty much been completely settled. Unfortunately, I have this tendency of putting a few things on the floor whether it's because I'm lazy or I just don't have a place to put every little thing (I have very little storage space) but it seems like no matter how many times I pick up and tidy the place, people only come over when the floor is a mess!! AND because this place is like a dorm anyway, people are CONSTANTLY popping in just to say hi and see what I'm doing.
But that doesn't mean I have a lot of friends yet. I have a few. But they all revolve around English speaking :P Everyone here has such varied abilities in Japanese that English seems to be the one that we all fall back on. It's very frustrating. Kinda no win. I can't make friends unless I speak some English and I can't learn Japanese if I'm always speaking English! :P
Other than that, classes are going quite well I think. Today I forgot my Vitamin B so I was a little low towards the end but I'm still doing well. We're going over some REALLY easy stuff BUT it's good because I'm relearning a few things I completely forgot the first time around. Things that make the language sound more fluid instead of slightly off. Like saying "feet" instead of "foots" that sort of thing.
I'll post pictures when I get around to taking them ;)

Well, when my sister and I were taking Spanish at the same time, we always tried to use it when we talked to each other. Didn't always work, but we at least tried. Maybe if all your new friends are trying to learn Japanese, you could try that with them - at least at the start of the conversation. Might be good for laughs if nothing else...
