Hi Guys...

Sorry for being so away lately. These few weeks are my final weeks of school, so ...yeah.

I plan to return properly during my school break, which is mid april-ish. So until then, treat me as some incompetent slob. After that, I'll need to catch up with CR myself before I can help you guys who have questions! See ya again soon~

(If you really must contact me, then you can try on weekends. I usually log in then. )

So what am I doing lately?

みんな、元気？

Well, as some of you may know, or not, I'm in university, doing Japanese Studies major. Yeap, I am learning Japanese, still continuing. I hope to at least sit for JLPT 2 next year. 大丈夫かな？

I'm also ambitiously taking Korean language! 지금 한구어를배워요. 재미있어요.It's kinda fun. Kinda, because it's still fun, but less intuitive than Japanese In fact it's harder, i think). But anyway, it's a great experience, especially if you know Chinese. 因为日语跟韩语很像, 都是来自华语。(They are similar, having Chinese influence in history! )

I have grown to like languages, so I'm also studying the linguistics of Japanese language. Those classes make you realise with horror what you learn in Japanese class is so simplified. 日本語を一所懸命勉強しているからと言って、速くて自然に日本語を話すことはない。

I actually want to, or am toying with the idea of taking French language, but that might permanently give me head damage.

J lang is 7 hrs/week,
K lang is 6 hrs/wk,
J linguistics is 3 hrs/wk,

so these take up most of my time. Not to mention, because of just these 3, I have quizzes more than once per week. I'm taking 2 other Japan related modules currently too

My Japanese teacher wanted us to have and maintain Japanese blogs (LOL) which is hilarious, because i'm also neglecting THAT blog. But i'll update soon, seeing that it is one of the many thousand things that is graded. I'm not sure if anyone is interested in that blog, but if you want to read and laugh at my Japanese, u can PM me for the link.

Lately, I'm just weaving between school and home, school and home. I usually have homework to do anyway, so lately, instead of watching anime/drama series, I watch some occassional youtube vids during my study breaks / dinner breaks, cos they are short. I like 'Let's play' videos! So instead of gaming, which would get me addicted the way anime and drama does, I'm watching people play. You can find me on youtube too, with the same username~

So yeah, I actually want to post more, but I have a Japanese speech due tomorrow, along with J homework, Kor test, and J quiz. So I need to hunt for relevant J news articles now.

안녕~
