my day, japanese, manga

Right now, lounging around in my summer yukata, my ample cleavage showing quite clearly, I look like a lady of the night. Would that I were awake enough to care. Today, eight classes and kickboxing on top of my period exhausted me. Classes were okay, and in fact went well. I had a trial class with two very smart three and four year olds. Thing is, the older girl was a total brat, calling me a "shitty hag" and other things. The weird thing being that my child magnetism was definately working since she spent all the time after the class trying to kancho me (my first kancho attempt. yay? no). It's cute how they think they're being sneaky, but you do really have to keep aware.

My Japanese studying this week involved me looking up every adjective on the list for the JLPT 3 and making flashcards. I'm quite proud of myself with them since I made them with hiragana on the front for the ones I don't know, and just kanji for those I do. I'm making an effort to use as many of them as possible in conversation now *L* Of course, I got depressed when my student today watched me go through them and knew all the english definitions of the ones I didn't *le sigh*

Signs of manga addiction: Was chatting with one of my students about him playing tennis and he mentioned how he was beaten by this high school student who was left handed and I could help but mention how much that sounded like POT. heh. Was told on wendsday that the Dragonball manga is tough for even the Japanese to read because of all the weird kanji Toriyama uses. Consequently, have decided to give up on it for awhile and go read YYH instead.

Must get some sleep. Probably hitting up an onsen tomorrow. Yay for onsen. Ja ne!
