More classwork and more to learn. I shouldn’t be too confused since I’ve allegedly learned all this stuff before, but it’s amazing how much I have forgotten. The particularly thorny concept of Passive Sentences was the topic today. Just another reminder of how I definitely could spend the rest of my life studying Japanese before I begin to understand it…

The last hour of class was working on our speeches, but since I had everything on my computer back at the I-house, I was excused to leave early and go home. I managed to get my speech pretty much finished and after dinner Ikushima Sensei helped me make corrections and gave me ideas. I don’t know what I would do without her help.

All I’ve got left now is a little more in my conclusion paragraph and then lots and lots of practice (oh, and make PowerPoint slides…)
