Today marks 100 days in Osaka and considerably less in school, 65 to be exact. At first it seemed impossible to track the days actually spent in school but since we cover an exact number of kanji everyday we have class it boils down to some simple math. This also has the added benefit of shaving off the two hour exam "days" and the following Friday where we come to school for fifteen minutes of "homeroom" before going home. I don't consider either of those to count towards actually time spent studying at the school.
Unfortunately tomorrow is another kanji test so I'm rolling into that routine of early to bed and early to rise so I can try to score well. I was able to make time for my work out routine but not much else today. I've been spending most of the time scribbling kanji over and over to commit it to memory. The difficult part at this stage of my studies is that I'm starting to see more and more compound kanji that have the same reading as words that I have previously learned. This gets really confusing when the kanji that makes the most sense isn't the correct kanji for the new compound.
I was kind of bummed out by the news that I won't be able to take the JLPT level 2 course with the cool teacher that I liked from last week. Instead the school will be shutting down for the over night onsen trip that I was jipped out of a few weeks back. I'm still not sure how a school sponsored event sells out before all the students have a chance to attend. So to add insult to injury as it were, I'm not only missing the trip but I'm missing out on two days of study time.
It's already late, so this is going to be short. Tough break.
