Avoiding Revision...
...by actually posting on lj. Shock. Hmm, been more than a year - abouts a year and a half as far as I can remember - since I last posted. Not good. Ah well. Nobody to complain about it really is there?
Well, finished sixth form, did okay in a levels, and managed to get into Manchester University to study Japanese - not Edinburgh, like I'd hoped, but just as good, if not better. Not as far from home here! It's nearly the end of my first year, and I can't believe I've only got three weeks left as a fresher - don't want it to end! Suppose it means I'm that much closer to going to Japan. Scary thought - in a year and three months I'll be getting ready to fly over there! Eek!
Revision is starting to get me down and I've only really just started! Japanese is definitely the easiest language I've ever studied, but it's still hard to remember all the different little phrases and expressions that we've been taught. I don't even remember learning half of these. Ah well, hopefully, after I'm done with all my notes I'll be better equipped to get them all learnt. I should probably get my society notes done as well...
Other than the fun of revision, life is pretty good at the moment - made a great group of friends, which I think was my biggest worry about coming to uni. Going to spain for a week just after we break up with one of mates I met here - definitely going to be a fun week! Plus, it's my birthday the weekend we break up so there'll hopefully be stuff happening that week!
Ah, I should probably get back to writing about tsumori desu and doko kani/doko nimo...
