1. Dieting sucks. And the two-bite poppyseed lemon scones from Whole Foods (aka "Whole Paycheck) are ruining it for me, as well as the leftover waffles I made yesterday. But I want to fit easily into my clothing again. It's so much easier to diet during the week, when I'm busy with work and whatnot, than on the lazy weekends. Back on the horse!

2. We had a leak under the sink, and I thought, OHNO, we have to call our landlord again, for yet another leak! But I tightened a plastic pipe that seemed to have become loose, and the drip appears to have stopped. Go me! I like to stay under the landlord's radar as much as possible.

3. My attempts to write are just not working, right now. So I guess I'll do my Japanese homework; I have a vocabulary quiz and a kanji assignment due next class. And I've already forgotten most of the kanji from last semester. D'oh!

3.5. Or maybe I'll play some Super Nintendo again... Super Mario World, here I come!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Ah, I spoke to my sensei last night, and she tells me that the kanji class is way too easy for me, and that it covers kanji we already know. Darnit. I don't know, really, if there's anything else I can do at the community college. :(

What a couple of the kids in my class are doing, the ones who want to either teach Japanese or translate, is taking everything they can at Comm Coll, then during the summer, either doing one month or three-month study in Japan with the Japan club. They do classes there in Japanese over the summer (with teachers who use words they already know to teach-- must be handy). When they're done taking classes at Comm. Coll., they'll move on to the university level.

Heck, I don't even go to Japan club meetings, because everyone there is 23 and under. I'm a little past that, I think (and when class is over, I want to get home and EAT. I have a full-time job!). :) I'd really like to continue, though... I may ask my sensei for options in town that she knows of.

That's a shame about the kanji class. It would seem to make more sense if they offered a kanji class that their Japanese students could take. One would think they'd get more enrollment that way. Hopefully your sensei will have some good suggestions for what you can do to further your studies. Good luck!

I've looked at the info on some of those language classes in Japan. I had my eye on a year long program, but it is so expensive. :(
