You Mean I'm Supposed to SPEAK Japanese??

Should be finishing a paper that's due in about 3 hours. Less than that, because I have a scheduled water balloon fight at 4:30 (YEAH BRANFORD INDEPENDENCE DAY!). But since I can't go for a walk around the courtyard to try to get myself to concentrate on Jesus for my paper, I'll do the next best thing--write in my blogggg.

This morning was my Japanese Oral Exam. My friend was rightfully appalled when I told her about it--she couldn't understand how we could be made to speak in the language as first-years! It was definitely a major struggle, not gonna lie. Could totally have been worse, though, that's the good thing.

It makes me just a tiny bit worried that things were going pretty OK during the exam and then I started to forget really simple things left and right. Like NEWSPAPER. And WEEK. Really? Really. Sure, I could say "it differs, depending on the ____" but I couldn't fill in that blank with しゅう。　Pretty embarassing, of course, but I guess it's just another reminder of how much work I need to do before I leave New York for Tokyo!

I feel like that's almost the point of exams like this. To have a great story about how badly you messed up, lol.

Soooo excited for the final then! =P

PS I think I forgot how to insert pictures in blogs. Hmm.
