Tests!

I hate tests.  I always have, but here they are so much worse.  After finishing the second page of my grammar test this morning, all of the words started sounding the same.  I had random words pop into my head that I knew weren't the answers I was looking for, but I couldn't think of the actual word I was supposed to be using.

For instance:
"Please translate the following into Japanese...
The hospital is behind the bank."

I knew the structure (thank god) and everything else needed for the sentence...except the damn word for "behind"!  So my answer looked like this:

”銀行の_____ に病院があります。”

I am guaranteed at least 2 points off for simply missing that one word.

But that is the least of my worries, since earlier in the test I forgot an entire sentence structure!

Tomorrow is my Kanji exam.  Hopefully I will be able to memorize the many different readings and do relatively well.

After that, I have to start writing my Cultural Report for my Society class.

I have failed to update my blog in the past few weeks simply due to the stress of midterms.  My next post will contain all the details of our Field Trip to the mountains and the time spent in a traditional village.
