Ichi ni san shi...

Today I just had my Japanese midterm and boy oh boy was it rough. Nandayo! It practically felt like an ECE exam!!! わたしはほんとうにばかよ! Instead of studying for my midterm, I was wasting time on anime and surfing the net and setting up this damn thing. I guess I wasn't in the mood for any more studying especially after our EM midterm on tuesday (I seriously do hope they mean it when they say no pain no gain!), and I had night class right afterward. (Oh yeah, Nelson, I don't know if I want to bet on 471, because I'm scared, ha ha ha!!!!) Anyways, considering the Japanese midterm was only 15%, I also figured heck, how hard can it be??? So thinking that the prof would be nice and just test us on basic grammar and such, I didn't place too much effort into memorizing vocabularies that appeared once or twice in our lessons as opposed to other words that appeared like 50 times. Well, she clearly proved me wrong when I barely finished what was supposedly an easy midterm that she said we could do twice over within the hour that we had. One thing on the midterm that confused me to no end was that there was a (and the following is what I presume to be correct, but for all I know, I could be wrong :P) birthday party held at a friend's house that's located in front of a pharmacy by a school. Now, one of the question is why did they choose that friend's house. I don't know, easy access for things from a pharmacy that ppl at the party might need?!?!?! I mean, how on earth am I supposed to answer that?!?!? So yeah, I just said it's 'cause it's close to the school, but that clearly has to be wrong since that essentially nullifies the importance and/or the point of the pharmacy. Heh, now that I think about it, maybe I read it wrong since it doesn't make any sense, but I wouldn't know since I didn't study vocabularies such as PHARMACY that well#!@$#@%

Ah well, so the moral of this blog is I need to listen to more jpop, and watch more relevant anime where they use polite and simple conversations. Bah, I wish I have satellite so I can watch Sesame Street in Japanese! But then again, to hear Bert and Ernie talk about buying stuff from the pharmacy, hrmmmm....
