The reports for international students are no different from those for ordinary students, except that they need to prepare more materials and the tuition is much more expensive.
When we arrived at the registration office, there were quite a lot of people there. There were Asian students with yellow skin and black hair, as well as European and American students with fair skin and blond hair. Everyone held information in their hands and lined up to wait for reports.
"I, I can do it myself. Mr. Shen Yu, please go back to class!"
Asaba Rika said, Shen Yu could clearly see the lack of confidence and confusion in her eyes.
"Stop trying to be brave. You won't have to ask me to come back later."
The gloomy tone was filled with disgust, but Rika Asaba was very happy after hearing this and nodded repeatedly.
Shen Yu looked at the time, and it was almost half past eight. He had to complete the reporting procedures with Asaba Rika, so he would probably be late for the first class.
But it's okay, missing a class won't have much impact on him, and the teacher likes him, so he can just say hello later.
I am just a sophomore this year. According to the school's regulations, I can qualify for early graduation. The premise is that I must complete the credits and study in school for no less than three years.
If there were no school time restrictions, Shen Yu wouldn't have to go to school now.
After queuing for more than twenty minutes, it was finally Rika Asaba's turn.
"Have you brought all the materials? Admission notice and copies, passport and copies, photos..." asked the person in charge of the registration office.
"Hello! Everything is ready!" Asaba Rika hurriedly handed over the information in her hand and nervously waited for the arrangement.
After checking the information, the person in charge brought over a student status form and a safety responsibility letter: "Confirm the information and sign, and go over there to get the payment slip."
"Okay! Do you want to sign here..."
"This location."
"OK!"
After signing, Shen Yu took her over to get the bill.
"Are you living on campus or studying day and night?"
"I-I live outside."
Many international students do not have homestay families, so they still choose to live on campus. It is relatively safer, but the degree of freedom is definitely not that high. Four international students of different nationalities live in one dormitory, and their living habits are still very different. inconvenient.
The person in charge printed out the payment slip and handed it to Asaba Rika: "Pay the fee at the Finance Office of the School of International Education."
"Okay, what are the next arrangements?" Asaba Rika asked.
"After you pay the fee over there, someone will tell you how to arrange it," the person in charge said.
After leaving the registration office, Shen Yu took Asaba Rika to the finance office. The school was so big, and if he had just returned, Asaba Rika wouldn't know when he would find the finance room.
"So complicated… "
Asaba Rika complained: "Why can't we arrange it in one place and do it together?"
"It's the same everywhere. In the system, you have to follow the procedures. Just like Chinese students in Japan, all the procedures are just as troublesome."
"Um… "
After arriving at the Finance Office and paying the fee, Shen Yu took Lixiang to the Academic Affairs Office to hand in the receipt according to the guidance of the Finance Office. Then, according to the requirements of the Academic Affairs Office, he went to the International Student Dormitory Management Center to register for sleeping out, and finally went to the International Student Center of the School of Art. Sign in for class.
After receiving the campus card, teaching materials, and class schedule, the registration process was finally completed. Then Shen Yu took Li Xiang to the small lecture theater. At ten o'clock, there was a simple training meeting for international students to attend.
"Shen Yujun, are you tired?"
Asaba Rika held the textbook in her hand like an eggplant beaten by frost. Her legs were sore after walking such a long way.
"What do you think? If you didn't know anything, would I have run so far with you?"
"Sorry, let me rub your shoulders."
"No, the more you rub me, the more tired I become."
Asaba Rika was very surprised, why the more she rubbed her shoulders, the more tired she became. She often rubbed her mother's shoulders at home, and her mother even praised her for how comfortable she felt.
Arriving at the door of the lecture theater, Shen Yu looked inside and saw that there were already many international students waiting inside.
"Go in and find a seat by yourself. If I haven't finished class yet after your training, you can wait for me in the library. Do you know where the library is?"
"I know! It's the tallest building, right?"
"If you have anything to do, just send me a WeChat message. Don't contact me if you have nothing else."
"oh oh."
After Shen Yu left, Rika Asaba stood at the door of the classroom and looked inside, then walked in quietly against the wall.
This lecture theater is not big. Most of them are international students in the same class as her, majoring in art, and there are more girls.
Asaba Rika looked for a seat for a while and saw an Asian girl who was more pleasing to the eye. The seat next to her was empty.
Then he asked in English: "Sorry to bother you, can I sit here?"
The Asian girl also has very fair skin, dyed flaxen hair, and very delicate makeup. Her facial features are not as good as those of Asaba Rika. Rika's facial features are naturally good-looking, but the Asian girl basically relies on makeup to support her.
She was playing with her cell phone boredly, and when she heard the sound, she turned around and saw that she was also an Asian girl, and she still felt a lot of intimacy with her.
It's just that it's quite difficult to hear the Japanese clearly, so he replied in English: "What did you just say?"
Asaba Rika repeated it again, and then she replied: "Please sit down."
"Thanks!"
Asaba Rika sat down, nodded politely to the other party, and read quietly with the book she had just been handed out.
I can’t really see it at the moment, but I just feel it’s awkward to sit with strangers, and it’s quite uncomfortable if I don’t have to read a book and pretend to be cool.
The Asian girl played with her phone for a while, looked her over again, and asked, "Are you from Japan?"
"Eh? Yes! You too?"
"I'm not, I'm from Singapore."
The Asian girl said, and asked again in Chinese: "Can you speak Chinese?"
Asaba Rika's English is not bad, but because of her spoken language, it sounds like it is in the bad category. It is really difficult for the two of them to converse in English.
Hearing the other party speak Chinese, Asaba Rika felt friendly, nodded happily and said: "Yes, my name is Asaba Rika, nice to meet you!"
"Hello, you can call me Jiang Ningle by my Chinese name. Are you also in Art Class 1?"
"Yes! Your Chinese name sounds great!"
"I like to drink Lemon Coke, so I named it myself."
The two girls felt that they had a good fate, so they chatted happily.
What are they talking about? Basically, they talk about what they eat, drink, and have fun in China. What they see and hear. Like most foreign students, Jiang Ningle also laments that China has changed so much. What she sees with her own eyes is not what she knows at home. It's completely different.
Asaba Rika responded like a pecking little hen.
"Which dormitory do you live in? I'm in c9-208." Jiang Ningle asked.
Asaba Rika shook her head and said: "I don't live in the dormitory, I live outside. How are you living in the dormitory?"
Jiang Ningle said helplessly: "My three roommates are all from Europe and the United States. It feels so uncomfortable to live together. The air conditioning is so cold at night. I plan to buy a thicker quilt after class today. One of my roommates I like to smoke in the dormitory, and there is another person who has a particularly strong body odor... "
After all, classes have not even started yet, and life as a student abroad begins with accommodation. Regarding this aspect, Jiang Ningle really has endless bitter experiences.
"Is it really that bad?"
"The girl in the bed next to me is 1.8 meters tall and very big. She snores so loudly in her sleep that I don't even know how to tell her... "
"horrible… "
Asaba Rika held the textbook and felt frightened after listening to it.
Jiang Ningle suddenly held Asaba Rika's hand and said sincerely: "Asaba Rika, how about the house you rented outside? I also wanted to live outside at that time, but I didn't know anything and didn't know how to find a house. Why don’t we live together?”
Asaba Rika waved her hand and said apologetically: "No, I'm staying at my boyfriend's house. You may not be used to it when a boy is here."
"Is your boyfriend Chinese?"
Jiang Ningle was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Asaba Rika had a boyfriend. She knew the difference between friends, boyfriends, boyfriends, and male friends.
"Yeah, I don't understand anything here. It's all his help."
Asaba Rika nodded and counted with her fingers: "Including accommodation, food, taking me to buy things, taking me to apply for bank and mobile phone cards, taking me to school, taking me to report, Reporting is so troublesome, if it weren’t for him, I don’t know what I would have done…”
Jiang Ningle was forcefully forced to eat a ton of lemons, and then thought of her poor self. She came to an unfamiliar place and had to do everything on her own.
"No wonder there is a saying in China."
Jiang Ningle felt like she was getting sour when she spoke. She was so sour!
"What slang?"
"Same people but different fates!"
