More Slow Days
Nothing particularly of note has happened in a while. Been studying and learning lots of words and kanji, but news of that doesn't make for the most interesting blog posts. Yes, I still hate kanji.
We have kanji vocab quizzes every day in Basic Japanese, ranging from 15 to 42 words per quiz, averaging about 25. That's not so bad, but studying up ten of those, plus ten sentence patterns with one to four sub-patterns each, miscellaneous stuff we've done in class, a presentation, and a short paper in Japanese... I'm not looking forward to our next collective test.
I studied for the last one for four hours and scored a 78% on the test and 84% on the presentation and paper. Best score in the class was 93% and the worst was 70%, which says to me that they targeted the test's difficulty pretty damned well.
Thinking about going to Kiyomizudera with a friend and checking it out during momiji (leaf-changing time). That's supposedly when it looks the best.
Just ate a huge lunch - tofu will not burn easily, by the way: even if you drop it in boiling oil, it takes a good 20 minutes - and am feelin' that "just ate a huge lunch" need to take a nap. Class in an hour, though, makes that not the best of ideas. Probably just watch some anime or something.
Or fall asleep on my laptop.
