Hello.
So uh. This is my second week of summer school now. I'm taking Japanese so I can FINISH THIS DANG-BLASTED LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT and next session I'm taking Stage Combat~~! Eee, exciting. But until then, BAH academia.
My teacher is at least, reeeeeaaaaally interesting, and I thoroughly appreciate his use of the English language. He is also the first Japanese teacher I've had who has not been a Japanese national and a woman.
But uh, just to give you an example, he gives us this handout with a model conversation in an exercise for the ~te hoshii form, which is as he puts it, "bluntly solicit(ing) help for yourself." Basically translates to "I want you to _______."
So one of the lines in the conversation is, "Ii desu yo, mochiron. Ima tsukutte agemashou." Most teachers would probably translate this as, "That's fine, of course. I will make it for you now."
His translation: "I aver to you that that will of course be fine. I shall in fact do you the favor of making it now."

...
well I happen to find that extremely amusing, but I'm a nerd.

But no, seriously! He uses words like interlocutor. And copula. I personally had not heard the word interlocutor before... that I recall. And he has the most interesting books in his office.

In other news my front door has been undergoing renovation/repairs... since last Sunday......... ¬¬;
But at least I finally have a doorknob again.................... ARGH*cough*
But yeah, I can finally shut my front door, and I'm rather pleased about that. HahahaahahhaaBAH.
Anyway.

As you can see I have uploaded some old art class art. I... have been meaning to do this since pre-Japan. Over a year ago. So if all goes accordion to plan, you can expect more... suchlike.


....I walked so much today....
