wednesday? are you kidding me?

[katekat]

Sorry I've been persona non-grata lately, but Japanese has been killing me. Slowly. Ever get those headaches that sit just behind your eyes, as if some great big fluffy monster decided your nose was the perfect place to perch?

I'm slowly clawing my way back into some semblance of normalcy, though. Had that sense of relief that it was all over (for now) once I left the classroom. That sense that there's nothing more I can do - the test's turned in, answers checked, sentence strcutre followed and eyes crossed (since they don't have any i's to dot or t's to cross, anyway).

Found out my final isn't next week Friday, it's next week Saturday. At 9 am. I'm so excited about that I can barely contain myself.

Well, only two more days in this week to go. Phew.

Not much longer and the class will be over entirely. The main question is: are you glad you're taking it?

Oh poor you. (very gently massages the base of your skull)

I hope all the vocabulary doesn't fall out again.

I'm so glad it's finally starting to "sink in"...or umm...you know what I mean.

~e! (who's curious as to what you had for lunch/dinner/food)

Hang in there, kiddo! Taking your first foreign language is exhausting... it's like new paths have to be forged in the neurons. Every one after this one will be easier.

And fun LA trip coming up! Focus on that! Figure out how to say "women in Hollywood are vapid!" in Japanese... :)

*pets you*

thanks lady. And actually, I am, for any number of reasons. Japanese kind of rocks. But the crammed schedule is hard. I'm looking forward to Fall when things will slow down because I'll be taking it in a *normal* semester time frame again.

And I was so sorry to hear about your grandma. *hugs you* you hang in there too.

half of it is... and I think next week actually uses a bunch of the stuff we're learning now in new ways. Plus I've got a 5 hour plane flight this weekend to really jam it deeply into my brain.

huh, and i wonder why my head hurts? I keep using metaphors like that.

popcorn! although, since that was a couple of hours ago I will now be having scrambled eggs and bread with cheese.

CHEESE I TELL YOU!

*grin*

yes, my icon does apply to ME.

Thanks lady! I do feel like there's something going on in the noggin. Neural pathways, don't fail me now!

And hey, I know quite a few fabulous, intelligent and interesting ladies in Hollywood.

Ok, but, you're right, the majority of them are kinda... what we'd call "slow" *grin*

So don't jam. Just shelve it. (kicks an ABH plot bunny involving Giles and his very helpful library assistant)

Seriously, you'll do great. Doing great is what you do.
