I woke up today to a message on my cell phone from a friend suggesting that my university was possibly closed. So I quickly turned on my computer and went to the university’s website. I found this message…

“Cancellation of all lectures due to the measles out break

Update: 26  May 2007

Due to the measles outbreak, all lectures of Undergraduate, Graduate, and Bekka(Japanese Language Program) held at Mita, Hiyoshi, Yagami, SFC campus will be cancelled for the following period.

MAY 26 (Sat.) 3rd period to JUNE 1(Fri.) whole day

NOTE:
Students must stay home for your study.

Use of Library, study room and ITC facilities are restricted for all students during this period.

All club activities are restricted. Students are not permitted to use class rooms and club activity rooms during this period.

If you have never had measles or have never been vaccinated against measles, it is advisable you receive proper vaccination. Consult with the nearest hospital.

If you have been diagnosed with measles, contact the Health Center of Keio University (045-566-1055) or the International Center (03-5427-1614) as soon as possible.”

Looks like my prayers were answered! No class for all of next week! Also, interestingly enough, the day we’re supposed to return, Saturday, I only have class for one period. This is because Saturday is Keio’s baseball game against our rival Waseda University, so all classes are cancelled after the first period for that.

Looks like I have a bit of free time now
