nessanielYeah, I know all of you wanna read about my day, so here, have it. xDDD
First of all, Tuesday is a pretty lazy day, I only have one Japanese class and one "Japanese Politics" class which are legit.
Japanese is the same procedure as every year:
- at first we get presented a situation (today: polite complaints and apologies) and have to collect words or expressions we already know and could use in similar situations.
- Then we watch the dialogue (because yes, we have an awesome DVD accompanying our textbook so we get wooden dialogue and scary Japanese guys screaming at each other. It's love really and I already started to slash it. xDD) and
- then we read the dialogue like fifty times then we make some exercises and then we have to write a similar dialogue.
Our awesome example: Your neighboor thinks cats are great so he is feeding a "noraneko" (stray cat). Recently the cat started to steal your food (pretty awesome cat, since it was established that you live in different flats... maybe she has wings? xD) and poops in front of your door. So please go complain at your neighboor (and tell him what exactly? That's were the text left us. Please stop feeding the cat? Please kill the cat? Please capture the cat and never let it out of your room?).
As was my luck, a classmate and I had to roleplay our shitty dialogue in front of the whole class but I actually enjoy this kind of stuff because everyone is good natured and has sympathy for the poor devils who stumble over their own words.
So yeah it was pretty cool but not so exciting...
(Yeah this gif doesn't have anything to do with anything but I like Karl Urban as leather-Cupid.
My seond class today was ok, I think. The teacher is a Japanese woman whose German really isn't that good so it's hard to understand what she wants sometimes but overall she seems capable of teaching us (it may sound stupid and arrogant that I emphasize this but believe me, I have reason to do so xD). I even thought of asking her to speak Japanese only during class but sadly we have three classmates who are learning Korean and wouldn't understand a word. So yeah.
BUT! And this is a major BUT. We have one classmate, one I had in a course last year and... GOSH I hate him so much. Not as a person, he is superawesome to drink a beer with but in class he just makes me angry. He was late today (15 min.) and told the teacher he will be late for every class because of work.
Um excuse me?!?!??!?!
How is he getting away with that? He is nobody who enters a classroom silently and sits there and oh my God I'm the first one to hold a presentation for this class (in two weeks, twenty to thirty minutes O___O) and if he bounces into the room like he always does I will scream bloody murder and MURDER HIM! Gosh, I hate it how he excepts everyone to hold back for the sake of him and I just don't know how everyone of the teachers let him get away with that!!!
If your work schedule conflicts with your university schedule you change the first one! Because that's YOUR problem! >___< He works in one of the university libraries and as far as I know the people there know how complicated our timetables are so they are likely to make exceptions (I had the same problem and my boss told me: no problem, you can just come in later and close later).
Gosh I'm so darn angry because apparently I'm the only one who hates his behaviour (I was forced to do some group work with him last semester and believe me I almost murdered him on the spot because he was so... STUPID!) but has no authority to tell him so.
Oh and guess what? Our teacher passed out some notes for the group work next week and surprise suprise I have to work with him again. (It was one of those: draw a number and that's your partner thingies so no way to change that *lesigh*).
Oh well, I'll just hope we will already be finished when he enters.
But the rest of the class is pretty cool, our grade even depends on our in-class participation and not solely on the exam (which is awesome I kinda missed that. <3 Oh and I like to hear myself talk a lot so yeah xD).
Tomorrow is the horror day with lots of unistuff to do but oh well, it will be over soon enough. <3

And uh, yeah, I guess one takes what one gets, eh? xDDD But one of them is really cute and super eager to please everyone and awwww he deserves to have a boyfriend (mostly because there was only one woman on this whole dvd and she had to play a sick girl xD)
