Subject: Good afternoon!
Everyday I get up at 7:30 am. I eat breakfast. I study Japanese. At 10 am I go to my Japanese class. I study Japanese. I watch Sabrina on the television with Neil. I study Japanese. At about 9 pm I eat dinner. I study Japanese. At midnight I go to bed.
I study Japanese all the time.
HELP! I really wanted to learn this, but I don't think I quite realized what I was in for. I do now. Every day packs 3 days into one. There are words and words and more words. I did the above just to test and see if I could (we learned schedules today). I did! But eeep. All will be quiet from my corner of the world until I get a handle on this. Or, until I crack and need some space to vent.
Neil's pappa and friend are visiting this weekend, so last night I did the "must clean house so they don't think we're total wastes of skin" cleaning of the house. Neil, unfortunately, wasn't much help. He was determined to do as little as possible, and even though I cajoled more out of him than he was prepared for, he still won't hang the pictures in his office. We've lived here six months and apparantly he doesn't think it's worth it to look at things he likes. Yes, I know I'm being bitchy. White walls bug the shit out of me, and I'm edgy from not speaking in my own language and having a parental visit pending. EEEP.
Going now. It's really not as desperate as it sounds. Especially now that the house is clean. Yes, I am a type-A personality.

Trudy's soon? pat

Date: 2005-06-09 08:05 pm (UTC)And thanks! It's mostly done except to get the clean dishes out of the dishwasher, thank the gods. And you're right, they don't. We've had 11 years to transition from him sitting on the couch while I cleaned around him. At least he doesn't do that anymore! As long as I'm cleaning he's cleaning. But it's been a long hard road.
(yes, that was a long extended ramble - take no note)
and YES trudys!! soon!! when are you next coming into Austin?

Date: 2005-06-09 09:15 pm (UTC)You are doing so well! That's an amazing amount to say in only 4 days of learning. I know it's hard, but you're doing so well. You're brilliant. Your retention is fantastic! No way could I have learned that much.
Oh god, parents coming is extremely stressful; especially when they're not your parents. Grr for neil not helping. They're his parents, afterall ;P
But just think, in just a few more weeks you'll be finished! (don't think about Jap II *grin*)
I'll be thinking about you (and hoping that the parents go smoothly).
Much love,
~e! (who will miss you dearly)

Date: 2005-06-09 09:25 pm (UTC)Thanks for the love though!! And I'm trying not to think about the next class at all. Or doing this during the school year when I have other classes and other homework. *shudder* Also? 2 of the classes I signed up for were graded as having "high" workloads by past students. *shudder* *shudder* *hiding head in the sand*
I'll be wishing I was online with you! Oh, but, at least with his parents we get to go to dinner at Ranch 616, and I'll tell you the menu in detail.
Speaking of which! You owe me a play by play of Pastis!! I want to know every entre, how the service was, if you found it ok, what dessert choices you had trouble picking between -- everything!
man, i wish i could just be two of me - the one that plays and the one that does the work. But both of me would just want to play.
mucho love!!
me (who misses you dearly and wants some time to catch up! maybe monday? you gonna be around?)
