"C" is for Kates...

Another test.  First one of Japanese II, but it feels like the 50th.  There's something decidedly wrong about learning fast track Japanese.  Although I shudder to think what would happen if I'd tried to do it in fall - I think I'd be in college for far longer than the money would actually keep me.

So I got the exam back today - and it was a double whammy day yesterday with the written in the morning and the oral after that - and got a C on the written and a B on the oral. 

Yippe!  I'm good with oral. *grin*

The hardest part?  I still like learning Japanese, but I'm starting to fizzle with the actual drill motivation.  Vocabulary is not my friend.  I know enough grammar to be my own enemy.  I lost lots of points on the test on little things I should've been paying more attention to.  Sigh.

Luckly there are only 3 more tests to go and then I get to go back to *real* school in the fall.  Woot.

In the meantime, I'm trying to stay away from the computer as much as possible since it seems to be my downfall - I'd much rather comment and play online and goof than study - and that's not helping in the least.  Well, it's helping me get Cs.

Oh wow your learning Japanese. that seems like that would be so hard to learn but thats so cool that you are learning it. I can't learn another languge just isn't my thing. Well mainly its the spelling that Im bad at..always been bad at spelling in general and would fail tests and such in jr high so yea when I got to high school (went to a pirvate school until high school so they didn't have spanish or anything like that) so yea when i got to high school and started taking spanish omg like most of the time i'd know the stuff but just the spelling for some reason i suck at that or maybe im just too lazy to study my ass off.

You know, it's not as hard as I thought it was going to be in some ways, and more difficult remembering vocabulary in others. The best part though? there are a lot of times where you don't have to spell. And it doesn't have all those evil silent vowels and consonants like English does. But yeah, I'm a little lazy too and don't want to study as hard as I should. Sigh. Instead i write about it in LJ. *grin*
