Welcome Week at SOAS

I'm tired, I have a lot of things to do... This week is Welcome Week at SOAS in 2011. During the week, we, new students need to finish our enrollments, and attend several events such as welcome talk, department meeting, Student services talk, learning a lunguage talk, register to library...
So I am confused now what to do next, who should I talk with, which course should I take. Students are available to be taken several supports from SOAS and they are easy-access. So it is really a relief. One of the staffs is Japanese woman who looks warm-hearted, so I plan to go to talk with her later.
 I attended Music Department Meeting and I met some teachers yesterday. I could meet a friend from Korea who know each other last winter. She is a Ph.D. student and came to London a half year ago. She is kind and friendly so I think I can call for help about music department.  Unfortunately, Dr. Wood who I wanted to study with is in Israel for her research... So alternatively another teacher will teach me. She is american so her English speaking is so fast. I need to improve listening skill more.
Anyway, I need to look for a teacher who can teach me klezmer performance, and also a language class which I can learn Hebrew. (it's not so important, but for me difficult to pronounce the word Hebrew. Not HEBURAI, but HEBROAW)
Although it is hard to acclimatize to SOAS student life in several points, I am excited everyday! Everything I see, hear and meet is absolutely new, defferent and unknown. I will deal with difficult things without being impatient.
