Day 35

I awoke with what I thought would be plenty of time to make breakfast, but I must have taken far too long in the shower, because even making lunch caused me to be no more than 2 minutes early for class.  But hey, I had my lunch and was still early.

So, what about today?  More keigo, of course.  Actually, today we focused almost completely on three different ways to make a polite verb.  Some verbs have their own polite forms, and others borrow from either the potential or the passive forms.  There are a few exceptions, but that's just best left in the classroom.

The afternoon was a drastic change, as we pretty much dropped learning more keigo and put it to use - the students in the class paired up, went to the senseis' office and each interviewed one of them.  Following that, we presented our questions and answers, some which seemed rather personal, and others which received funny responses.  5th period was a discussion on the differences between two different verbs for "I don't know".

This afternoon, finally, finally, finally I got back to composing my concerto.  So far, the first movement is half complete, and I have ideas for the next two.  I can see me finishing at least half of this (what I will be referring to as my) "magnum opus" by the time I go home, and hopefully have it completely done by the end of third year.  That being said, I still have an obligation to the pep band, an in a way myself, to arrange "Don't Stop Believing".

All in all, a productive and enjoyable day.  I'll inform you if anything interesting happens tomorrow in my next post.
