    Honey Latte

    i wanna try this, but im afraid that it will taste like honeysuckle.

    i mean, we all ate them off the bushes when were little, but now?
    hmm, but its does have yummy spices and espresso!
    lets see if it will rival my current chai latte obsession

    p.s. the ‘lucky irishman’ thing @ greenberry’s is NOT good., just fyi. it sounds good, but its not. maybe if i added some bailey’s in it though…. *ponders*
    more info here

    So, today was the first day in a LONG time that I actually did real make-up, as in an artistic sense. This was in part due to me being depressed after my Japanese test (fail fail).

    I mean seriously, i didnt have class on wednesday AND i stayed up late!

    what the heck was i doing?? and i wasnt even tired. i went to bed at four (after like taking CHINESE tests on the pc) for the principle of not being up after 4. i shoulda REALLY studied then. cause really, this whole “im gonna wake up @ 8:30 so i can study for japanese AND then go to my 930 class” never works.

    you know what else really sucks?
    KANJI!!
    #6 ___________ exercises (練習?)
    #7 ___________しか話せない
    WTF. i spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out those two. SERIOUSLY. i just wrote renshuu (i mean c’mon, sensei came to CHECK on me, thats how bad it was!) and then EIGO. EIGO?! i mean seriously!! it was 片言!!!! (i realized this later while spending an hour on the back of the test) -________________-

    I did the whole back of test first cause last time sensei said i spent TOO much time on the kaiwa! (and the fact that i hate hate haaaaaaaaate fill in the blank (i always end up making awkward sentences that never make sense; i cant even do it english).

    OH and that stupid kanji at the top of the back. STUPID STUPID. i mean, i know what it is (i actually knew them in chinese, like ‘contradict’ is maodao, but OF COURSE i dont know the japanese. oh no, that’d be too easy)
    and how are we supposed to explain “contradict” or “overcome” i mean c’mon. SERIOUSLY.

    oh, and when we do yomimono, we need to go over the questions!! on the sheet!! not just the yomimono. i need to know if im getting those questions right. seriously. —anonymous feedback ^^—

    ok

    oh and i have to decide on what to present on for a 1/2 hour Japanese presentation! (NOT donald keene or cherries or anything covered chapter 13 Y_Y)

    Japanese Happyou

    Ok so I’m going to do a japanese happyou tomorrow (Friday) @ Albermarle High School. This is the first connective thing between UVA and Albermarle county schools, and I’m going ALONE (with my teacher) to tell the high school students about college japanese. hmm hmm. its okay, cause I can consider it practice for when I’m doing it on Monday/Tuesday next week for FCPS ^_^ But it’s a lot of stress. alone. first one. awkwardly with sensei. driving in the car.

    at least i was able to avoid the super awkward “class ends at 2, your train comes @ 2:45, lets go downtown and drink coffee together while we wait for the train” by getting a ride with sonya (yay!!)
