Frustration

I am, quite honestly, a little miffed right now. Why? My Japanese school is getting on my nerves. See, here's the thing about my school. In a nutshell, I would describe it as:

-Heavily sports oriented
-Moderate academics
-Lacking arts
-Relatively shy students (well, a few exceptions)
-Closed Campus (meaning almost everything is inside and you can't really go out)

I have NO IDEA what my district was thinking when they placed me at Kousen. I thought I made it clear enough in my application that I am a violinist, I go to an arts school, and I would very much appreciate it if they took these things into consideration while placing me. Whatever happened, I ended up at Kousen, and as of right now, I can't say I'm liking it all that much. I don't really know what to do. Part of it is definitely the students; first year high schoolers in Japan typically have the maturity level of 6th or 7th graders. I like a lot of the kids in my class, but that's exactly how I feel about them: they're kids. However, I really like my math class (the second year class). I always look forward to it. So one option is to change classes, join a second year class (which may or may not be my math class).

BUT here's the dilemma- I don't want to make a rash decision. I know some things just take time when you're an exchange student, and I'm going to regret it if I decide to switch classes only to realize that I would've made good friends in my current, first-year class and I just wasn't patient enough. Or am I just trying to wait for something that is either unlikely to happen or would take well over a year, in time for them to mature a little?

If I were to change classes, it wouldn't be harder in terms of workload. I barely do any work in anything other than math, occasionally English. Most of the first year classes are classes I've already taken (Biology, World History, etc).

Right now I'm leaning towards asking for the class change, but I'm not sure yet. Any advice (before I start screaming about how inappropriate a fit my school is for me again?)

Mata, ne!
