I came pretty close to my first 100 today. Two of the tests that were handed back scored a 96 and an 81. Well, the 81 was pretty lame but the other one I just fell short by one mark because I didn't recognize the verb 噛む without the kanji, so I didn't know what kind of verb it was to conjugate it correctly. It was a nice boost to my confidence after the whole slump in understanding that I've been feeling lately. Now if I can just ride out this enthusiasm and get some legitimate studying done I might be able to improve a little.
One thing surprised me today. I realized I hate the sound of Chinese more than Tagalog. Not that I have anything against Chinese people or Pilipino people, it's just the language that gets me. 80% of my classmates can speak some form of Chinese so every break period ends up in some kind of Chinese rant about whatever. It really disappoints me because I literally go days without speaking English here and there are signs all over the class that says "speak in Japanese only" so it really doesn't make sense for them to slack off. That's the only explaination I have for why I'm not at the absolute bottom of the class. There are at least a few people who I'm trumping right now which is awesome for me.
There were some plans to meet up for all you can eat sushi tonight at Shinsaibashi, but I never heard from anyone. I have a lot of home addresses but not very many addresses for cell phones. The people I did have were on the, "Ah, I'm not going" list. No biggy, I'll see what happens from tomorrow.
