(nihongo benkyo suru koto)
I didn't realize how f#$%ed up a language English was until I started studying Japanese. And that's because Japanese is probably #2 in terms of f&^#ed up language, but at least there seems to be a method to it. When they were inventing English, they were smoking some heavy duty pipeweed me thinks.
I've been preparing for my Japanese Final all weekend and I actually feel prepared for it. I'm not cramming or sweating because I think I actually paced myself well this semester in terms of studying. However, if I had taken this class in college, I would have withdrawn somewhere around the first test. My four years in college were great, wouldn't trade them for anything, BUT, I would go back and perhaps try to retain more of what I was taught IN CLASS. Don't get me wrong, college taught me a damn lot BUT, considering what was being offered there, I could have done more than spend 30 hours per week in the college run TV station as opposed to maybe 8 hours per week studying. I hate to have regrets, but I'm soooo good at it. I've realized now, that learning is the single greatest thing a person can do. I would much rather go to school and study Japanese than go to work, but I didn't realize that then. The irony is, if I had spent more time studying in college and less time at the TV station, I may not have a job now. So go figure that one out.
