Someone asked me today at dinner whether or not I was happy that classes were over. I told him that it didn't feel like they were over. Even though we celebrated with liquor and Highland dancing, I can't wrap my head around the fact that I no longer have class, only exams. And then there is the fact that I won't be home for another month or so.
Japanese ending was an interesting experience. Many came with cameras and we spent most of the class taking pictures and deciding what we should do as a group once exams are over. Sensei gave us all Easter chocolate and told us something she liked about us or wished us good luck. I was surprised when she told me that I was advanced and needed to stay in Japanese. I feel as though I have done well this year but in no way do I feel advanced. This was such a fast paced course and I felt as though I was just keeping up. I know that I need to do really well on the final in order to get 77% and entrance into second year but I am not extremely worried.
Now I am wondering what I am going to do this summer. I can't work but I think I'm going to try to ask around and see if people have any odd jobs I can do- housesit, petsit, mow lawns, babysit, etc. I would really like to have the extra cash!
Most of the floor has gone home for Easter weekend so it is very quite and empty. Today was a very anticlimactic way of waking up at 1, having brunch, doing laundry, changing sheets, tidying up a little, dinner, and reading. I fully plan to spend the night watching some LA Hana Yori Dango and reading. Tomorrow the study planning goes into effect!
And I need groceries...
