type='text'>バージニア大学</title><content type='html'>このエントリはバージニア大学についてのですか。そうですね。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;私は四年生だし、バージニア大学でたくさんいいけいけんがあっています。私は一番好きな所はもちろんロタンダと言う建物です。とてもきれいで、時々十二時ごろ、ロタンダですわったり、勉強したりするのが好きです。ロタンダの中で、いつもしずかだから、そこに勉強に行くのがいいかもしれません。それから、バージニア大学に行きたい高校生は来るといつもロタンダについて教えに来る時、私も大学に行きたい時間について考えるとうれしくなりました。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;バージニア大学の学生はたいてい親切ですが、試験がある時、一番いいせいせきをとってみたいです。私は医者になりたい時、ほかの学生は手伝ってくれないんです！学生は私よりいいせいせきをとりたいからって！それから、授業はとても大半だから、時々、学生は困っていたり、落ち込んだりしなります。その時、カプスと言って、学生を助けてくれる所に学生は行けます。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;バージニア大学のそばにドウントウンにあります。私は食べるのが大好きだし、いつもドウントウンのレストランに大きい晩御飯を食べに行きます。いつも小さい晩御飯をちゅうもんしようと思っていますが、晩御飯を食べてから、全部食べ過ぎなければよかったねと思っています。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;じゃあ、来年、私はミスりに行くつもりですが、私はバージニア大学のが好きだし、いつも来ようと思っています。大学院を卒業してから、シャローッツビルで働くかもしれないでしょうと思っているんです。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

was still ii.  even though we didn't have the cutesy sounds and the nice effects, we spoke in japanese and really had a lot to say about jpj - we really did our research.  we learned a ton about jpj, so i guess i'm trying to say that our Brochure　was &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;informative, &lt;/span&gt;even if it wasnt as aesthetically pleasing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now on the project itself - although writing on a building wasn't that bad, i don't know if it allowed our fullest creativity to come out.  personally, i would have loved to actually be in the brochure, and made like a video.  (i also have a ton of experience doing that, so i wouldn't have screwed our group so much with the sound and stuff)  i think that would have also motivated us to not wait til last second and do it on sunday night (which all the groups said they did!)  i hear we're doing that next year though, so that'll be exciting!  we'll seeee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jaa mata ashita.&lt;br /&gt;kyarandan (carandang... kristine!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. basque san and keem san : thanks for the work on the project ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6756385949788364304-8229621970366212074?l=uva-kdang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/feeds/8229621970366212074/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6756385949788364304&amp;postID=8229621970366212074' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/8229621970366212074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/8229621970366212074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/2008/04/project-and-blog-thoughts.html' title='Project Thoughts'/><author><name>kristine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756385949788364304.post-6337413300449985852</id><published>2008-04-27T11:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-27T11:49:30.819-07:00</updated><title type='text'>another semester...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;wow. another semester FLOWN by.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;what did i think about japn 102?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;i think that it was definitely tougher than japn 101, maybe because of all the quizzes that we had every day, but definitely because the tests got a little more intense ("write 2-3 sentences expanding as much as possible while being creative at the same time") and the GRAMMAR kinda drove me nuts.  and by the grammar i mean "ndesu."  BUT i still loved japn class, even if it's kinda stressful to get the drills and everything, i look back at that class and i'm like YEAH im actually learning a diff language.  maybe that's just me, because i don't have to be taking this class.  i'm going to be a fourth year next year... and the only reason i'm in this class is because i think it's interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think this semester, just like last semester - japanese class is definitely a place to make friends.  i'm happy that ji hye, vy, and lauren were all in my class again this semester!  hahaha, ji hye just walked in the room... she's talking on the phone (i'm in clark).  i'm going to miss them next year if we're not in the same class again! (and ji hye's a fourth year, so that's not even a possibility!)  it was also great to meet everything new, like ingsha, paul (both of them), hannah, cindy... and... that's it! haha, dang our class was small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;satoo sensei being our teacher again next semester?  i think it's great- she already knows us all so well, she'll probably know me better than i know myself next semester. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, everyone good look on their projects.  can't wait to watch them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh p.s.&lt;br /&gt;i went hot air ballooning yesterday. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6756385949788364304-6337413300449985852?l=uva-kdang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/feeds/6337413300449985852/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6756385949788364304&amp;postID=6337413300449985852' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/6337413300449985852'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/6337413300449985852'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/2008/04/another-semester.html' title='another semester...'/><author><name>kristine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756385949788364304.post-3829989014182723841</id><published>2008-04-26T01:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-27T11:48:28.797-07:00</updated><title type='text'>私のねがい</title><content type='html'>私はねがいがたくさんあるので、私は時々ストレスがたくさんある。「私は正しい事をする？」とよく思う。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;私はいしゃになりたいだよ。私は子どもと働きたいから、今までしたぜんぶアルバイトは子どもと働いた。とてもたのしかったね！でも、なつ休みは病気で大人と働くつもりだよ。ちょっとこわいと思うけど、私は新しいことがなくちゃいけないでしょう。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;私は日本に行きたいだよ。私は日本語をれんしゅうしたい！それから、私はまつりを見たい。日本の文かは面白いね！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;じゃあ、火曜日にクラスがおわるので、かなしいね。。。&lt;br /&gt;みなさん、来学きに日本語のクラスをとるつもり？&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6756385949788364304-3829989014182723841?l=uva-kdang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/feeds/3829989014182723841/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6756385949788364304&amp;postID=3829989014182723841' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/3829989014182723841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/3829989014182723841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/2008/04/blog-post_27.html' title='私のねがい'/><author><name>kristine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756385949788364304.post-2140028262645662823</id><published>2008-04-19T06:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-19T07:10:28.562-07:00</updated><title type='text'>my speech?</title><content type='html'>sorry it took like a year to post this.  my computer is so messed up. but here it is =) chotto kowai ne.  byouki dattannokara, koe wa kirei ja nain no.  netsu ga arun no yo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.people.virginia.edu/~kmc5k/speech 2.wma" autoplay="false" autostart="false" controller="true" height="30" width="170"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;" lang="JA"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-size:12;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

So here it goes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh.  Speech time is over.  I actually like the speeches much better than skits.  I think it gives us a chance to really practice our Japanese in front of everyone, on something we really worked hard on.  I mean, I guess skits we "work hard on," but a lot of times, because we have one every chapter - I feel like we just rush through them and settle for the minimum.  Not for speeches though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the peer reviews are really helpful to see other people's writing styles.  It may even be nice to have some sort of peer review before sakubuns are due, so we can write them, read other people's writings in our class/have ours read, and have a chance to correct little mistakes before satoo sensei murders our papers in red.  The only thing is that I wish we had just a little bit more time to talk with our partners about the peer reviews, because the time we had to talk was SUPER fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hm, one more thing that came to mind.  Memorization.  So, it was a common misconception that Satoo Sensei woulda taken points off our speeches if we looked down at our paper.  So - we all memorized it.  But this isn't how a speech should be!  Honestly, when was the last time you saw a speech being given without the person referring to their notes at least once.  Yes, we could easily have memorized it/we did easily memorize it - but were we comfortable?  ... Heck no.  We were super nervous.  I feel like next semester, it should really be stressed that we ARE allowed to look at a paper (not really read from it - but look at the notes) without getting points off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, that's all.  My speech file will be up here eventually, but I haven't gotten the chance to upload shimasu.

I was not as much of a class mix fan as everyone else was.  I felt like I didn't get as much out of the class, because I was kinda shy to share and talk.  My class was 6 people big, and it was definitely nice to see some new people (I didn't know anyone) and see their styles, and how much better they are than I am, but I feel like to learn the most I really enjoy having a class I am comfortable with so I can not be scared to practice and make those mistakes for now.  But I do realize that if I ever go to Japan, I'm not going to have Riley san and Lam san at my side, haha.  So it is definitely good to branch out and to step out of my comfort zone, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Mixed feelings for the Mixed class...&lt;br /&gt;excellent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

Or excuse me. バーベキュ。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;バーベキュですか。日本からきましたか。。。。いいえ。&lt;br /&gt;なにをリサーチをしあすか。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;did you know that "hibachi," as in the hibachi restaurants we go to for japanese food and get all excited about because they cook food in front of us and do all sorts of tricks... is NOT what it actually is.  a "hibachi" is a heating device in Japan, not even used for cooking.  WEIRD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i thought i was being all authentic and japanese-cool when i went to kobe/sakura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i dont want to do a whole presentation on a heating device, i thought i would just share that piece of info.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so then i started looking up things ppl do at night.  because we already have something that ppl do during the day.  and... that led me to japanese ghosts.  something that really interested me and that would have tied into 'j-horror films' is the 'yuurei.'  like the ring girl?  yeah she's one...  if i can't present on that i'll write about it later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and also japanese mythology, like the sun god, moon god, and storm.  あめたらす、つきよみ、すさのうrespectively.&lt;br /&gt;it's pretty cool to learn about all that stuff.  I don't even know anything about shintoism.  i feel like maybe we should learn a little more about culture in our class, just little tidbits.  i feel like when I took spanish, we had to do a bunch of readings about Tenochtitlan, the girl with big eyebrows-- uhh, frida kahlo, the iglesias de espana, how spanish people are a lot of catolicos, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or maybe i just need to take a japanese class that is not a language class. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;すぐ日本語のクラスにかんじクイーズをかきに行きます。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;じゃあ、また。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

I cannot post my speech at this very second, because... well, my computer is barely alive and that's where it is on.  But I will without a doubt post it, because I'm pretty proud of it.  I think I wrote a pretty decent speech, and gave a pretty decent presentation that got some laughs.  I love when the class laughs - it not only means that my presentation is engaging, but that it actually MAKES SENSE.  I feel like also it means that we really did learn to understand spoken Japanese, even if it's not from a person with 'natural speed,' it's progress&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Late (but up!) Peer Revisions Critique:&lt;br /&gt;Though it was extremely difficult to coordinate who does what feedback when... (yeah, we go to UVA and couldn't even do that) it was nice to read other people's drafts and get a sense of what they're doing.  Our peer revisions definitely were helpful in getting ideas for our own papers (sorry if we're not as innovative!)  and finding what things we could do to improve.  It was also nice to be on the editing side of things for once, instead of having all the red marks - we make the red marks.  Finally, I think it was nice to have other classmates tell us what we did correctly.

((awww))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;私はいもうとがあります。アンジェラちゃんです。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;アンジェラちゃんは十三さいとです。いもうとはポールがこうでさんねんせいです。時々べんきょうします、でもよくせんしとはなします。だからいいがくせいですね。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;アンジェらちゃんはこどもの時たくさんはなしました。それからアンゲラちゃんもいまたくさんはなします。こどもの時はわたしとスポーツをしました、でもいまチームとわスポーツをします。バスケとボールとソーカーとテニスをします。ちょっとプレーヤですね、でもよくコーチとはなします。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ことし、七月四日のあさにバージー二アだいがくへかえりました。わたしとアンジェらちゃんはわたしのともだちと十二時アーチェスにいきました。わたしのともだちはクレーです。アイスジュリームをたべました。それからこうえんへいきました。一時半はななしました。それから三時間えいがをみました。えいがトランスフォーマでしあ。いいえいがですね。九時にこうえんでショーにみました。きっぷはかいませんでした。たかくありませんでした。あのこうえんはわたしのアルバイトのそばです。&lt;br /&gt;アンジェらちゃんはいいいもうとですね。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yay for little sisters =)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, a couple questions for everyone...&lt;br /&gt;What section Japanese are you taking next sem!? (Are you taking it next sem??)  I'm pretty sure I'm going to take the 11AM section.  Either that or the 1PM, but ... the 11 looks better for me. &lt;br /&gt;Also, what did you guys think about the test?  I actually thought it wasn't that bad.  The conversation at the end was a little harder than usual though, a little more thinking involved (meeting satoo sensei at a bus stop wha!?)  I looked through the grammar for this chapter, and I'm pretty excited to learn about it actually.  (I haven't quite done the grammar sheet yet though, they're getting harder every chapter...).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So when I took Spanish, the first thing I learned was of course 'Hola, como estas.  Muy bien, y tu?' and 'me gusta' ('I like').  So for everything we did it would be like me gusta nadar (i like to swim).  me gusta comer (i like to eat).  etc etc.  In Japanese, we have waited until CHAPTER FIVE to learn this stuff.  Which I think it kinda crazy.  But japanese is also like no other language I've ever seen before, haha.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;okay, jaa, mata! :D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6756385949788364304-8186170683332689893?l=uva-kdang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/feeds/8186170683332689893/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6756385949788364304&amp;postID=8186170683332689893' title='2 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/8186170683332689893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/8186170683332689893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/2007/10/finally.html' title='FINALLY!'/><author><name>kristine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVQXHeeEu3E/RyTTmYlRHJI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ga0nE4ATyOI/s72-c/Summer+Pic+036.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756385949788364304.post-4907794501441419131</id><published>2007-10-26T07:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T07:20:35.553-07:00</updated><title type='text'>delay in post...</title><content type='html'>so i'm on a computer with absolutely no japanese capability and because i am not admin, i cannot change that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i have written about a topic, and will post it very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nijini nihongo no tesuto ga arimasu.  you ready?!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6756385949788364304-4907794501441419131?l=uva-kdang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/feeds/4907794501441419131/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6756385949788364304&amp;postID=4907794501441419131' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/4907794501441419131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/4907794501441419131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/2007/10/delay-in-post.html' title='delay in post...'/><author><name>kristine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756385949788364304.post-5641426442871697478</id><published>2007-10-21T12:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-21T12:42:36.814-07:00</updated><title type='text'>きょうは日曜日です。</title><content type='html'>oops. せんしゅうの金曜日にブローグをかきませんでした。でもいまかきます。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;わたしのしゅうまつわいいじゃありません。あした中ごくのれきしのテストがあります、だからきょうよくべんきょうします。でもわたしはあさごはんをたべました。たいていあさごはんをたべません。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;あんたのしゅうまつはいいですか。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what makes a good blog.&lt;br /&gt;i actually have no idea.  i used to be a big fan of blogs actually.  i had livejournal, xanga, myspace, and all the other 'free website sites' like expage.com, etc.  (yes i was a big nerd and i did follow every fad ever).  but for this blog project, i don't know what really is a 'good blog'.  ラムさんのブローグis pretty interesting to look at, because she puts so much stuff on there.  and anggie's chinchilla is adorable.  but i don't really know what i can/cannot put thats not japanese related, you know what i mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think we should start a 二時のクラス study group.  whats everyone think?

 I thought it was decent, though very loooooong.  I was so nervous when I was writing the situation answers.  "Conversation with more than 4 sentences."  I put so many ___ desu ne?  Aa soo desu ka, Soo desu yo!  etc etc.  Confirmation Confirmation CONFIRMATION.  It's taken me forever to actually learn when to use yo, ne, and yone.  I'm pretty sure I understand now after asking Satoo Sensee about a million and three times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hm, what's helped me learn vocab, hiragana, and katakana?  Well.. for vocab I found very helpful this thing I learned in eighth grade spanish class. (si, en mi primera clase de espanol).  I fold a sheet of paper in half, and on one the margin of one side I write all the words in Nihongo, and on the other side against the crease I write all the words in eego.  So then, when you're studying, you can fold one half in ANOTHER half, and cover the words.  And call them out to yourself!  Haha, hope that makes sense, but I found it's easier for vocab than flashcards, because flashcards build up, but pieces of paper can be easily kept in a notebook or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katakana I'm still a little bit lost on, but going to office hours helped me out A LOT, i woulda died on the test if i didnt see satoo sensee at 12.  But I don't really have any tips on learning those...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, new chapter?  Chapter 2 I thought was already significantly harder than Chapter 1, so I'm kinda nervous.  I have a goal though... I'm going to get good participation points, so if I seem super obnoxious in class, it's because i'm working super hard to get them :) haha.  Jaa mata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... Oh PS, I'm in Bryan Hall on a Mac, so I have no idea how to do hiragana on this.  haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6756385949788364304-8635089027493482024?l=uva-kdang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/feeds/8635089027493482024/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6756385949788364304&amp;postID=8635089027493482024' title='2 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/8635089027493482024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/8635089027493482024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/2007/09/we-just-took-our-test.html' title='we just took our test!'/><author><name>kristine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756385949788364304.post-4625814861299262445</id><published>2007-09-21T15:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-21T16:51:18.970-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hai..</title><content type='html'>I'm excited that I can finally write in ひらがなon my computer!  It took me forever how to figure it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past week I had two exams in しんりがく。They weren't too bad, but it got me behind in some of my other classes.  にほんご is getting harder.  I am having a lot of trouble doing the カタカナ。 Like all the spelling and stuff?  And even just memorizing, to write something like ム I find myself writing on the side　マミムメモ and picking the one I should use.  Anyone have any tips on memorizing/the rules??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also getting started on my research! (Finally after all my training).  I'm in a lab under Professor Mikami in the Psych department, and we're researching about ADHD.  I'm excited to get some experience with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I have a headache, so that's all...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;じゃあまた&lt;br /&gt;久リステイーン&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6756385949788364304-4625814861299262445?l=uva-kdang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/feeds/4625814861299262445/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6756385949788364304&amp;postID=4625814861299262445' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/4625814861299262445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6756385949788364304/posts/default/4625814861299262445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uva-kdang.blogspot.com/2007/09/hai.html' title='Hai..'/><author><name>kristine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756385949788364304.post-8113114305342161577</id><published>2007-09-13T19:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-13T19:33:30.743-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hajimemashite.

Never thought that would happen... but I guess it'll be nice to be able to read what everyone's saying.  I wish I could play with the Japanese symbols on my computer though.  Doesn't that program cost like $100 to get?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hm, so I like how  we're all friends in our class.  I guess we kinda have to be, because most of us are lost and confused a lot of the time, we gotta rely on everyone else...  But it's cool that we all stuck with it, unlike the people who dropped... tsk tsk.  heh, just kidding.  I was really confused on a lot of stuff that we did in Grammar today though...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japan Curry Night tomorrow?  My friend's coming from JMU, but I took her to Filipino food night last year, why not Japanese too?  On Sunday I'm going to Downtown Thai though, I'm excited.  (I go to restaurants like every week.
