Lucky Star was decent, or at least I think I found it relaxing to watch way back when I saw it.
[00:15] <Tangent> ah alright
[00:17] <Wander> Day 1 for a freshman is pretty much just initiation day.  I'm not exactly well informed about the japanese schooling system, but I do vaguely remember my own first day being a new and stressful change in environment.
[00:17] <Tangent> Go on?
[00:17] <Tangent> Details?
[00:17] <Tangent> I mean this sounds promising
[00:17] <Tangent> Something something symbolism for meguca
[00:18] <Wander> Lots of new people coming from other middle schools, a bigger building, more crowded...
[00:18] <Tangent> Day 1 classes are just settling in, meeting the teachers, each other...a few assemblies, right?
[00:20] <Wander> pretty much that, yeah.  Well, and seeing who (if any) of your old friends have classes with you.
[00:20] <Wander> I remember actually having, and moreover, actually needing a map to figure out where some of my classes were.
[00:21] <Tangent> Cool, thanks. Gives me something to work with.
[00:24] <Wander> Oh, I guess there was also the fact that I needed to be up earlier than I was used to to get there because my middle school had been right down the road from the elementary school that my mother taught at.
[00:25] <Wander> and I think the buses were ridiculously early for high schools, not that I rode one there.

[00:28] <Wander> In hindsight, I kinda slept through like half of my freshman year and really was never able to adapt my body schedule to fit with school hours.  Most of what I remember out of that year is just overwhelming exhaustion.
