Day 115 (Osaka) : Dog tired

Pun intended. I was up from about midnight until three in the morning listening to one of my neighbors' new dog. What is that you say? Dog's aren't allowed in my apartment complex? That's absolutely right, but apparently someone doesn't really listen to rules like that. I was so worn out in the morning that I didn't realize the holiday off set me by a day. So I went to school believing it was still Monday and leaving half my books at home. Actually, that part didn't turn out so bad. I was surprised at how nice the teacher was about it. She even let me use her book without going on some kind of psycho rant like I was expecting.

I'm kind of disappointed though because I've been putting in a lot of effort finishing up the JLPT workbook. I've been through about twenty pages so far and she assigned another thirty pages today for next week's class. For all that work she probably thinks I haven't done any of it since I left all my work at home. This week is going to be super busy just trying to figure out all the new grammar points and which kanji I should be trying to remember for the next test. Speaking of tests, it looks like 1E is up to the test for Chapter 17 next Friday. My "advanced" class just finished the third grammar point in Chapter 16 so we're not even half way through it yet. Not to mention we just took Chapter 11's test last week. We're so far behind lately that I can't even remember what material we're supposed to be covering and what has been lost to the ancient past in this class.

Tonight I'm going to try to make up on the lost sleep, though surprisingly I was able to get a lot of work accomplished when I got home. I'm guessing it's because I ran out of TV shows to watch so I actually did my assignments instead of vegging out. Not like that's a good thing, I want to find a new show that's worth watching like the next season of Dexter.
