As my sleepy eyes adjust to the blinding light of my computer screen...

Dear readers (yes, I'm talking to you two),


School has been amazingly eventful and endlessly interesting. For the past 2 weeks or so I have been getting at most 6 hours of sleep.  I come to school mostly running on empty and mainly getting frustratingly tired in the middle of the day. But, that's just a part of school. It's all in good fun.

As for Japan (日本は),  I have been working as hard as I could on my kanji, but mainly I just don't have time except on weekends. However, I have learned 12 so far, but the next 12 just haven't been sinking in. My current method is to learn 12 kanji per week, but what I thought I'd do was do 2 kanji every 2 days, so as to reinforce a small amount of information over a long period of time, and cover half the alloted amount in one week. I have to say that this is a BIT different than learning hiragana or katakana, and I'm a bit unused to it. But I'm almost 100% sure I'll be able to learn 250 by the end of this year in school. I'm very excited about it!

What am I being for Halloween, you say? Something Japan related, silly. Use your brain.

I'm kidding! No-- come back!!!

I'm so upset that I haven't been able to post as much as I wanted to on this blog! I'll have to update at least once a week. I'll try to make that my goal.

Besides that, have a great week everyone, and a great Halloween!!!
