Review Test

Today's Japanese lesson was taken up fully by a review test on everything we have learnt so far. The first half was a listening test, which was followed by a written test over three A3 pages. Wasn't too bad, though. I finished first, and a few others followed shortly after.

We decided to try out a different canteen today. It is right next to the kindergarten-teacher teaching school and so was filled with girls wearing their pink trousers. It's their uniform! We were stumped slightly as we were supposed to take our shoes off, but we only found this out after walking through the whole room. I don't think it's the best one, though; they are quite stingy on their meat portions in their ramen.

We also had Seb's lesson again but instead of doing history we looked at early Japanese literature. He gave us a list of about 10 different titles along with their Kanji and brief overviews of what they are about. They sound quite interesting and I shall have to read a few at some point. There is one on the bookshelf here in Cambridge House, but I'm guessing that the others will be wanting to read it too, and I don't like reading under pressure.

Dinner was nice tonight: fish, spinach and carrot, some manky meat on salad, a bowl of rice, potato soup, and a chocolate and banana spongy roll thing. I ate everything apart from the salad. Then I went to Cosmos (a local pharmacy, but it's more like a supermarket) with Lauma. Mmmm... chocolate.
