Despite being relatively cool outside all day, it's been hot as all hell in my apartment. I'm trying to avoid using the AC too much because it's still early summer and that is a viable option. In a few weeks it will be so hot I won't have any choice. I just finished watching a movie and I broke a sweat just from laying down for two hours. The studies haven't gone so well. Mostly I went over topics that I might have to talk about during the interview portion and reviewed the grammar points for the first two chapters. I plan on reviewing my worksheets and tests tomorrow to focus on my weak spots.
The most important thing though will be memorizing instructions and key grammar points so I won't get confused if they ask for a conjugation chart of the 意向形 form of some verbs. Last time was pretty difficult because they didn't even provide the dictionary forms. They just had blanks for each group and we had to fill them in ourselves. On the bright side I've improved to the point where I can recognize which group the verbs belong to but I'm still working on memorizing the exceptions. I guess no language would be complete without a boot load of exceptions to their rules.
Looking at my schedule it seems like I will be out of school from Monday to Friday with the exception of the two hour exam window Monday afternoon. There is something written in for Friday but the print is so small I can't really read what it is, but it's pretty confusing. The week we lost cut us short of finishing the kanji book and the pronunciation guide by three and two pages respectively. The thing I'm most hung up on is that our next class was supposed to be the kanji test for pages 35-37. Does changing my class mean that I skip all that? I'm leaning towards yes so I'll probably have to run through the last three pages on my own during the days off to stay on top of it.
