the midterm

I took the 5:30 to 7 pm section for the midterm and wasn't at all surprised by what was on it. I don't find the particles and the way they are used within the context of a sentence to be difficult. However, it is the listening comprehension which always gets me. Maybe it is because most of us aren't used to such great amounts of dialogue at once. When it comes to the listening, I know the material but when it comes down to making a choice, I doubt myself and the conversation words get intermingled in my head. My friends who took the same test felt the same way. Perhaps all we need is more practice.

Mondays test

I'm a little worried about the test on Monday just because there is a lot of information that I need to review and try to remember. I really enjoy the class and I'm thinking of maybe studying in Japan one day. That would also be a great opportunity for me to improve my speaking skills. I studied too much for the last test and I still didn't do as well as I would have liked. Although, I am confident that I can do much better.
