Hurdles

1. Pitch - feel like singing, so hard for one who cannot sing really well on pitch....
2. Kanji - at first it feels like a blessing that Kanji is almost the same as Chinese, but then....I would automatically recall its Pinyin pronunciation rather than its hiragana pronunciation >.<
3. Speech - we did a mock shadowing today, it's so hard to listen and speak at the same time!

started taking 20th Century Japan with Prof. Garon, took his freshman seminar on the atomic bombing before,  thought it would be interesting to look at modern Japanese history and politics. typically interested in Abenomics, though when I was in Wakayama the locals told me they didn't really favor his policy - farmers were severely affected

Well, it looks like this whole senior year will be pretty much Japan-centric! :D
