Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
Fall 2019 semester has just ended, so has my Japanese class. I feel so sad. JPN 202 might be the last Japanese class that I’d be able to take. I was registered for at least 9 units before; that’s why I could take Japanese classes as an audit and my sponsor still allowed it because…
It’s summer break now. My Japanese class actually ended in the beginning of last May. I mean, I should’ve written about this sooner but my hand was kinda tied. Last semester might have been the toughest semester for me. I had to do comps and I even had to skip my Japanese classes for a…
We were scheduled to have oral exams starting from Friday, April 27, 2018 till Wednesday, May 2, 2018. Everyone was assigned an 8-minute oral exam individually on the assigned day. We didn’t pick the schedule ourselves like we did for the mid-term oral exam. The teachers made sure that we had different schedule from that…
Hi, I know it’s been long overdue. My Japanese class ended about three weeks ago. There were so many things I wanted to write but things were crazy around the end of the semester. You know, deadlines, papers, and those visa things I should take care of. I just couldn’t make time to write here….
So, well, Chapter 5 is over. We had the test last Thursday. As usual, we had listening, writing, grammar, and reading sections. The listening section was so fast! So really fast I wasn’t sure about what I heard and thus not sure about my answers. I think if I got them right, that’s mostly because…
I finally got a perfect score in my chapter test! As you can see in the pic (and maybe from my previous stories), in the previous three chapters, I always got my scores reduced. But this time, in Chapter 4 Test, it was perfect! I am so happy 😁 Well, actually I wasn’t really expecting…
Hi, it’s been a while, but here are some updates. Now we are beginning to learn Chapter 5. It means I’ve got a new partner and a new seat. But this time the change is a bit different. We still got to pick up the numbered stick as usual, but this time we can pick…
And, oh, last Thursday and Friday we learned adjectives. One of the things we learned was color in Japanese. So, in Japanese, we add “i” to the color to make it adjective. Thus, black is “kuro(i)”, white is “shiro(i)”, red is “aka(i)”, yellow is “kiiro(i)”, etc. (There are some exceptions where instead of adding “i”…
As you might have guessed, now that we’re done with Chapter 3 and had the chapter test, we I come to be assigned a new seat and, thus, a new partner for Chapter 4. So, on Thursday after the midterm oral test, I got to pick the stick with the number. Gosh, I got number…
Yesterday was the last day of classes before Spring Break. We’re going to start Spring Break earlier this year: March 5-9, 2018. This is a bit unusual because usually Spring Break is much later in the semester, probably around the end of March or beginning of April, but this year the break is adjusted to…
