Day 109 (Osaka) : Rounding up

Today was more productive than usual. I am going to try out the whole staying at school for at least one extra hour to study. This has a number of benefits not the least of which is being able to sit up straight in a desk instead of lounging around in my living room floor and being uncomfortable. Also I get to study without distractions which is hard to do with a fiber connection and a 52" TV waiting to rot my brain at home. I'm going to try to ace the next kanji test for my JLPT class on Tuesdays because I feel like the teacher is underestimating me.

I mentioned last time that I rocked the same 3/10 as the student setting next to me. Well, the teacher walked around the room scolding everyone else for their crappy grades but she just asked me if I had enough time to study. What really gets me is I missed one that I knew because I thought it was wrong and didn't write anything. I could have one up'ed that girl from the other day if I had gone with my gut. That's my main motivation for studying an extra hour after class and the test is only on how to read the kanji not how to write it so I can definitely do it if I put the time into it.
