Dammit I'm retarded.
I froze up in the middle of class and couldn't remember the verb "to sell" (uru, for those who care). I tried using kaeru which means to exchange (money, or for something) which I'm willing to argue makes sense, but the teacher made a snappy comment about how my assignment was to practice translating the dialogue and it's obvious that I didn't. This is the same teacher who came to me all understanding like saying "I looked into it and apparently you're still learning Japanese. As an exchange student I'm aware you can sign up for higher level classes, so I'd like to challenge you but just know that I'm aware you're not up to the level of the course." and then proceeded to mock me for not being able to perform at a level that is above me?
Man, Japan sucks.
Next week is the end of the quarter. So, new teachers, new classes, much less work. I made sure not to sign up for any grad level courses this time. Probably a smart move.
I'm trying to shift off of drinking so much pop but it's difficult. Not because I love pop, but because Japan doesn't carry anything else worth drinking in their vending machines. The brand of green tea is absolutely vile and tastes more like seaweed tea in my opinion. Then they also have these drinks that have chunks of fruit in them, or just fruit flavored jelly. Either or is absolutely disgusting. I know I drink bubble tea, but I still don't enjoy things in my drink I don't WANT there.
Augh, tomorrow's blog will be much less bitter and will include pictures, I promise. I need to move away from the my personal life angle and get back to the living in Japan one.
It'll happen, mesa promises.
