This week, like most, has been a tough week. I was still pretty sick, so I missed a class which made me feel really awful... not to mention I had three other exams. Nonetheless, I pulled through, finished the week, and now I'm here at home studying (as usual). There is a lot of grammar so I keep on going over Chapter 4 to review the rules and such. I'm kinda stressed about my sakubun, but I think it is residual worrying that is really coming from bio-lab midterm anxiety. Here goes another treacherous week. Cheers.

わたしわ八時にねます。いいですね。

This past week has been kinda awful for me, simply because I've been pretty ill. I didn't think being sick for Japanese was going to be that much of a problem, but having half a voice and sounding like a man was no good during drill sessions. On top of that, I was really exhausted by the time my classes were over and my night began, so I just felt like sleeping instead of studying. Maybe that explains why my sakubun this chapter was terrible. I'm just thankful I don't have to spend another two hours working on Mallard this week. The exercise where you rearrange the words in the sentence to the correct order literally took me ten trials! I'm still a little sick, and I'm definitely still exhausted. I'm going to try to get some rest this weekend in preparation for Chapter 4.

Taylor san and I were just discussing what makes a good skit. Humor, fluency, grammar materials? This chapter allows us to expand much more than before, so I'm assuming that a lot is expected from the class to deliver a well-prepared skit... And so convenient, I'll be out of town until Tuesday.

Although I was extremely nervous and tense at the idea of the new grammar, I've gotten pretty comfortable with the concepts with each drill session. I see why attendance is important. I hope my immune system does its job, let's hope I don't get sick.

Now it is time for Mallard. This chapter's exercises seem so tedious! Or maybe it's just me...
