You just made me happier than you can imagine, it's been bugging me for months now that it is inappropriate for me, as a male, to use わ instead of よ. I feel so much better saying わ. After a semester in Nagoya, I can just say that I was living in Nagoya and thus developed a thing for わ.

Yeah, since we get a lot of japanese exchange students here, I've had speaking as my forté in Japanese. We used to go out for dinner once a week actually(while only speaking Japanese, even at the time when I had only studied the language for 1 month), and they were the ones who motivated me to give Japanese the effort it requires(if one is to learn it within a plausible timeframe).

I think I'm getting the info at a later date then. I am to send them a medical examination signed by a physician and my arrival information by the end of the month, then I assume I'm getting a reply with more info. I feel much better just knowing that such a thing as a grammar/kanji list exists.

By the way, I chose to live in dorms, and did so to save the train-time and to get some freedom on when/what to eat/sleep.
Do you have any idea how they place students in dorms? I read about there being private dorms that are quite a distance from campus, and that is my number one worry. If I have to spend 2+ hours on a train every day, I'll feel like I wasted a whole 10% of my trip.
