疲れたー (I'm tired)
I've been in a strange mood today. Actually, now that I think about it, I've been in a strange mood all week. I'm tempted to trace it back to that early-morning frustration in Japanese class on Monday but I think that's a cum hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Just because A precedes B does not prove that A caused B.
So what's up? I feel tired a lot, which is odd. I thought I was used to the bed set-up by now but maybe I'm not. I often wake up too early and then struggle to fall asleep again, especially once the sun comes up around six AM. I find it very easy to space out in class, if not fall asleep outright. I don't feel like I'm danger of falling behind in any subject but I'm unsure how to rectify this situation. Perhaps it's only temporary? Could it be the tremendous amount of carbs in Japanese food?
Speaking of food, I ordered something totally unknown for dinner tonight: modanyaki. It turned out to be a fusion of two familiar dishes, okonomiyaki and yakisoba. It was, of course, delicious but I shan't order it again. That's just more food than I need to eat. Ever.
I've been keeping up on the social front, I think. I was actually late for class because I was talking to some girls at lunch (along with Kazu whom I rarely get to see these days) and after classes I arranged to meet a fellow KG student whom I had encountered on the Internet. Funny how it's still easier for me to "virtually" introduce myself to strangers than it is to walk up to one of the thousands of real-live female students walking around this place.
Not much to do tomorrow. I should really try to get back into the gym.

You fatigue seems a bit worrisome. I don't think it's normal to be able to easily fall asleep in class (once in a while when overtired, maybe...) Keep track of that.
I agree with Salena. Maybe it's just stress related, or belated culture shock. You know different country, new people, new food, etc. Or maybe you're just getting a cold. Keep an eye on that. Hope you feel better soon.
Finished my classes for the day and I just had lunch. I brought my workout clothes so I really am planning on going to gym. Just not right away: if I work out on a full stomach I don't feel well.
I hope it's not a cold, I just got over one!
