Musings and Procrastination

I'm trying to study Kanji...half halfheartedly really. And little thoughts keep trickling into my mind as it wanders all over the place while I am trying to accomplish something ;)

For my class level, we were given the choice of 3 different kanji classes to choose from. The first being the easiest and the 3rd being the most difficult. I checked out the kanji list and knew all the level 1 and 2 words. So I went for level 3. (It's what I'm "currently studying")

Thing is, everyone else in my class is taking lower level kanji. Well, unless they're of Chinese decent. (obviously!) I think...no, I KNOW my kanji is really poor. I'm not even exaggerating. For as much as I have studied, as much as I needed to know to pass the JLPT 3, I should TOTALLY already know this stuff. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've already studied about 80% of the kanji in this new class. So why is everyone else lower level than me?

Meh

Don't ask me what it means. But it keeps me from feeling like a total dumbass all the time.

Today was my first elective class actually. I have two. One, as mentioned, is kanji and the other is reading. I didn't know what reading class was when I signed up but I figured it would be fun. I want some sort of motivation to study kanji and reading is the best for that! I love reading in English and there are tons of books I want to read in Japanese too!!!

But after signing up I started getting worried that maybe it would be a lot more academic than that. I mean, it'll probably be more like, read this academic paragraph about fly mating rituals and then answer some questions about it.

I started dreading it thinking about that...

But today was the first class and we read an old fable that was really cute and interesting. It held my interest and I really enjoyed the class. The teacher is nice (and pretty too for whatever that's worth) and as I was leaving the class I realized that she's ALSO my new kanji teacher!!! (won't have that class for another 3 days) So...at least that's something to look forward to (^^;

Now back to studying...after which I will go to Mos Burger which I will one day be able to afford when I get a part time job... *sigh*

Okay, so I went to the Mos Burger website and it looks tasty, I mean I'm a vegetarian so I really don't know... but damn if it didn't make my mouth water a little. I also saw a fry/ onion ring combo to which I said awesome, somebody gets it! half and half! Oh well have fun eating your yum burger :)
