Ok, so maybe she's not a vampire but the way some of the other students talk about her you would think that my teacher really was a creature of the night. The interview was basically a "how's it going" survey on whether the class is difficult, the teachers talk to fast, I can understand all the kanji, etc. She also wanted to know what my plans were after school and I reminded her that I intend to go to graduate school at Waseda. I've pointed that out on every form, interview, and class discussion where the question has come up. I guess I'm just not at the level to be taken seriously yet.
She also felt compelled to remind me that I won't be accepted to a graduate school without passing the level 1 exam in December this year or next year. It wasn't really necessary for her to point it out because I'm well aware of the requirements. I even let her know that I had applied to Waseda before so I'm a vet at the whole getting denied thing. We even covered 108 kanji so far, even though it's only been six weeks. A normal month with no holidays would cover 120 flat, so that should be about average ten monts out of the year. So at that pace I would eventually review 2400 kanji over the two years. Since that's way more than I need for literacy, I'm going to go ahead and assume that we will start breaking down into review sessions instead of covering the really rare kanji.
I have another kanji test tomorrow so I'm going to cut this post short. I've got a few key words to review and a homework assignment to write out by hand. Kind of lame since it was a team project but somehow I got suckered into doing it by myself. Ah well.
