School and tiny earthquakes

I've been what could be described as quite frustrated the last few days with the start of classes. I don't know why it took any thought at all to realize this was because ALL my teachers and ALL my textbooks are speaking/printed in ALL Japanese--which at this point is still at least KIND OF difficult to understand. And one would think I would take this as an advantage. And I do except I don't really know what my homework even is or what the test is over.

P.S. Earthquakes are at least as common here as thunderstorms are in Kansas. I have felt at least three for sure. They feel basically like a 50 ft tall truck driving by. One was in the middle of the night. One of my teachers said that everyday there are earthquakes in Japan. Now when I sit at my desk doing homework I like to trick myself into thinking that I feel tiny earthquakes.
