Good news: I know what day of the week it is this time.
On the other hand, I’m not sure what to say. Let’s see…
Japanese studies are keeping me busy. It’s more and more clear to me that when April comes, and I’m full-time, I’m going to be super busy with studies and should be careful about taking on more responsibilities. Fortunately, the pastor and church agree, and I’m not under any pressure to do more than I’m able.
Meanwhile, I’ve got one private English student now, as I’ve mentioned here before. He was going to pay me, but yesterday I suggested that instead we do a language exchange; for the first hour I’ll teach him English, and for the second hour he’ll help me with my Japanese. I think I could use the extra Japanese practice more than the extra money. And I’m sure he doesn’t mind saving a few bucks either.
It’s going to be a busy month: With this being the last month of my part-time course, there’s more and more new stuff to memorize. And with a final exam at the end of the month, I’d better review the old stuff and make sure I know it too. Right before that exam is the Immanuel Church’s annual national conference, which means a short and busy trip to Yokohama and Tokyo, which I’ll return from the night before the exam. Right after said exam (the next day), the new, full-time course begins — with a placement exam.
Sigh…
Having said all that, I should get back to studying. That’s it for this week.
