revised goals
alas, i forgot to mention that i am also interested in practicing conversation. sato sensei, when are you available? and every other week sounds great!! i'm available mondays and wednesday after 2:45, tuesdays after 5, thursdays, between 1-2, then after 4:30.
long term goals included - ability to engage in conversation with a native speaker, understand a few j-pop songs, and successfully differentiate between kanji and chinese traditional characters, and correctly spell katana. i have tendencies to want to use chinese pronunciation which is wrong! speaking of chinese, i also have tendencies to want to speak mandarin instead of japanese, which is indeed frustrating. ugh....

busy bee
due to a massive workload i've abandoned my poor journal...shame on me. aside from studies i'm gearing up on an independent study project.
i'll attempt to study the correlation between voter registration and the government's response to hurricane katrina; what percentage of the victims were registered voters? could this have contributed to the government's slow response?....details later. public interest rocks!
