Quick Post
I have a test in about twenty minutes, so this is going to be quick.
The OMGREEN suit works great. The only parts of me that got wet were my face (I was on my bike and the water coming down at an angle due to my forward movement... yeah.) and hands (I bloused my gloves backwards. Oops.), which was pretty cool.
I got my interview results back, and the school apparently feels I'm a "low intermediate" Japanese-doing person. On the 1-5 class scale, I'm in the level 3 class. On the 1-10 general Japanese-ness scale, that puts me at a 4. It feels about right, given my abilities.
Judo again tonight, and I have some reading after that, so I'll try and get some posts up tomorrow evening. I have to register for classes tomorrow, too. After that is the weekend, and I just need to write a 400-word essay in Japanese. Um.
The test in a bit is on 20 漢字 (chinese character) compounds. They test us on reading 20 new ones every day, then at some later point, they'll test our writing. I need to go study for this 「小テスト」 (little test). It's basically a quiz.

So what kind of classes can you choose?
Good luck with the quiz. Twenty compounds per day sounds like a lot, but do you mean you verbally respond your recognition since you mentioned they test your writing later? Just curious.
20 new kanji every day seems scary, I'm glad I don't have to do that.
No, we have to write the reading for 20 new compounds each day, plus know their meanings well enough that we can define the word in Japanese.
Five are chosen on each test to be defined and ten are chosen to be 読みがな'd, but you don't know which they'll be.
Wow...that is a lot daily. I think you'll be busy with that, for sure. ...and I thought 20 compounds a chapter was a lot, but I guess not. I will feel the lightness of my load now.
