Being a massive geek (AKA attending Studio You's 'Golden Blood' at Tokyo Big Sight)
Being a rabid JJBA fan, I'd noticed things like [GB14] and [GB15] on Pixiv, and discovered that it's a JoJo-only event, held in Tokyo Big Sight (and other places across Japan)! I attended Golden Blood 17.

Health check!
It's an eerily quiet first period on the Waseda campus when I go to get my health check done, though it's just starting to pick up as I write this. The ground is wet from last night's rain (the trees showered me as I went to line up), and a sparrow is hopping fearlessly around my feet. A campus tour has just walked past.
I have class from 10:40 and the checks opened at 9:30 so I arrived just before and was maybe 15th or so in the queue. I wasn't sure how long it would take, but I was finished just after 10!
First we showed our Waseda ID cards and received some forms to fill out, then went inside and went to the numbered stations in turn:
①Chest X-ray (In a little van-like thing outside. you have to wear one layer, a plain top with no prints and no metal bits, and they clipped my hair up as well so it didn't hang down. You have to put your chin on a rest and your chest and shoulders against the machine, then breathe in, breathe out, and hold it. There's one little room outside the X-ray room where everyone (all girls) can take off/put on their bras etc..)
②Urine sample (at a desk near the toilets. you pee in a cup (there are also lids so you don't need to walk around showing your urine to everyone!) then they dip a test strip in it and if relevant ask if you're menstruating.)
③I think this was just the sign to the big room (Okuma Garden Hall) where the rest of the checks took place?
④Height and weight
⑤Eyesight (not really a full eye test, they just tested quickly how good each eye was while I was wearing glasses)
⑥Blood pressure
⑦Interview(not as scary as it sounds! They just ask if you have any health problems and are taking any medication. Then thet give you an information sheet (one side English, the other Japanese) about how to get a medical certificate printed etc.
⑧Handing in the documents
I thought I published this back when it was written but apparently not!
We thought you need to wait until around the 21st to sign up for the gym (building 30, Toyama campus) but you can do it with the little blue health slip! You also need a photo (passport style; there are booths near the ticket machine), a 3000 yen ticket from a vending machine in the same building and your Waseda student card.
Stay healthy!
