Last Saturday, we had our final exam in Japanese Class Module 1 (shimatta, 2 modules to go to finish Level 1 alone). When I got to see my exam I was shocked, the only thing that was written in English was the instructions (I was trying to calm myself down but it didn’t work). I had no problem with my Hiragana or Katakana, it was the sentence completion that I dreaded (adding particles and the verbs and stuff like that) It took me some time to get the hang of it and so I went on to answer the damn thing. .. the worse part “Okay please pass you papers minasan!”, Sensei.
Waaah! I’m not even finished yet; the fact is I think I still had a lot of unanswered items.
Shimatta! Tasukete kudasai! this can’t be!!! (Although passing the exam doesn’t matter since this is an extramural class, it matters to me.) This coming Saturday Sensei will give our certificates and then we’ll eat out on some Japanese Restaurant.
