smoggy smoggy

Can someone please tell me why I have lost my ability to wake up on time? I do have an exception for this condition, but either way, I am oversleeping everyday. Yup, you have guessed it right; today was not an exception. In order to secure myself a reasonable amount of time for preparation on Thursdays, I must wake up at 8am. Unfortunately, that time was postponed to 9:20 this morning and I had just about 300 seconds to prepare myself.

In addition, I had to dash my way to the station in order to take the train I must take to get to school on time. Being the seminar leader, I must prepare the projector and the PC installed in the classroom my professor uses for his class, so being late was not an option. Usually, it takes me about 15 minutes from my house to the station on foot, but I had to get there in about 12 minutes today to catch that train. With a gray, pollution filled smog hovering above me, this run was tough. I did manage to catch the train though...I'm a bit younger than I thought. Haha.

There's nothing much to mention about the classes though, but a question arose last night during my conversation with one of my friends from the US. Why don't Japanese universities allow major switching or double major? My friend's "why? that sux" response probably reflects my opinion as well. I can't seem to find any logical reasonings for it.

Anyway, my first interview this year is coming up. What should I do to prepare myself for it? I downloaded some documents off their website, but will this do any good to the result? God only knows, I guess...wish me luck everyone! Cheers.
