  • Mood: Questionable
  • Listening to: japanese ramblings
  • Reading: genki
  • Watching: silly japanese cartoons
  • Playing: tetris. a lot.
Term has finally started again ... and with it comes TONS of work (damn, I hate being a fourth year) and a less-than-pleased response by quite a few of us to the module choices available. While in China I chose to do a couple of modules on Chinese culture, which a) interested me, b) I thought I could do quite well at and c) I could bring something to the table. Then the lecturer fucked off to the USA and we were given a load of crap choices - by that I mean there were very few Chinese culture modules available and those that were left were either shit (Chinese Film and Cinema) or the credit weighting was too heavy to make a proper split (there are rules about these things at my uni, blahhhh).

Long story short, I'm now taking beginner's Japanese with advanced Chinese both semesters, and in semester one I have a Politics module (which I think I will enjoy a lot) and in semester two a module on Chinese Nations and Nationalism (which should be okay). But, beginner's Japanese is rocksolid. It makes little to no sense at all! I'm struggling bigtime, but I need to do well in it, and it's STARTING to make a bit more sense than it did last week (when it made less than no sense :P) but I honestly think going from Japanese to Chinese would be a lot easier ... shame I don't really have that choice!

I leave you with two Japanese cartoons from youtube which I think are quite useful / cute / funny
