not as brief as it ought to be
Nov. 1st, 2006 10:47 amI think I did okay on my second Japanese test. One question was kind of funny; we had this table of information about these three made-up students and some sentences with blanks in describing the people in the table. We were supposed to make the sentences make sense. One of the questions was "Ken-san is not <foo>" (more or less) which I read and thought, "well, he's not a ham sandwich..."
I'm pretty sure what they wanted was "not Japanese" (because the other two students in the table were Japanese) so that's what I put, but then (still in Japanese) I added, "Also, he's not Godzilla. ^_^" If I had been braver or had a couple of more minutes I'd have tried to figure out how to say "also, he's not a ham sandwich" and maybe listed a few other things (large suburban airport, hovertank, pocky) but I didn't. And I know how to spell Godzilla. ^_^
So anyway, I think that went okay. Also, I did well on the first Bio midterm, which is good, since when I was studying for it I discovered that all those chapters I read while under the anti-seizure meds didn't really make it into my brain. If they hadn't mostly been chemistry, I'd probably have been screwed, but as it was, I wasn't. Apparently the class as a whole did not do very well, mostly going splody on the essay/long-form questions, which I thought were much easier (and less ambiguous) than the multiple-choice section, which is where I lost all my points. Go fig.
New CWU tonight. I have no tests tomorrow OR homework due, so I can get to stuff like that, at least a little. Today will be busy, but I should be able to do at least a small CWU tonight that hits the highlights.
