First day at university

I’ll always remember the time I first went to the Oriental University. It started as a typical first day at university, when everyone tries to leave their past behind and start afresh.

I have to say that I tend to keep myself to myself so I find it hard to be open with people I’ve just met. I can’t say that I  enjoy social situations where I don’t know anyone that’s why on my first day at University I was feeling kind of nervous, maybe a bit shy. I spent the whole time looking at other students wondering how confident they looked. Then I started to communicate with them and I felt completely relieved when I realized that they were as nervous as I was.

After classes my group mates   – who will be later learning Japanese like me – said that they wanted to go to the café for a cup of coffee and ice-cream. I joined them without hesitation. Though it was raining hard, it didn’t stop us. Only a few of us had umbrellas with them, so very soon some of us got wet to the skin.

 We wandered  from one café to another trying to find a café where eight people can sit at one and the same table together. We found one  at last and had a very good time there.

Now I find it funny but three years ago it was so cold and rainy that I don’t think  it was.

 By the way, two of those people became my close friends.
