JPN1&JPN2
I have until March 21st to learn all of this. Is that even possible? Then all take the placement test and then maybe I'll take Japanese 3, assuming I do get placed into that grade. I'm not sure if I can even handle that class next quarter piled up with everything else but I'll try to make it work!
