Hey there! I have no time to come here (I have, but I always end up forgetting it. Or I'm just too lazy, portuguese style).
I want to give you some news.
1)
I have a new cat. Later I'll post her pics (after the 21st, when I have my last test and school is already over). Her name is Saki. I couldn't come up with anything more, shame on me. If you have suggestions, please. She's a baby, she is really cute and funny. I don't know if you know this kind, but she's a Tortoiseshell cat. Black, white and honey colored.
05/June/2010, Saturday -> the day I adopted this cat :)
2)
Also, I'm gonna register for JLPT. Still don't know the level (probably 4...?), but I intend to finish Minna no Nihongo 1 and 2 and Genki 1 and 2 in these vacations. JUst like last year, but now is Grammar and vocab instead of Kanji. And once again, during the morning I will work out and from 2/3 PM until I go to sleep (or 1 or 2 hourd before falling asleep) I will study Grammar and vocab. During the night I intend to SRS Anki. I'm using sentences that I understand with vocabulary from the JLPT 3 & 4. I haven't started for real yet but shall do it starting day 22. The day after my Geography of China final test (oh my, I have still so much to study!...).
SRS is great as I said it before, last friday I managed to learn 2 new words in this sentence: 彼は石を池に投げた。 Very, very interesting. I SRSed it 2 or 3 times.
I'm really looking forward to day 22.
3)
In these vacations I also want to study chinese (otherwise will forget a lot). Chinese I will study from textbooks (Integrated Chinese 1 & 2). I will just SRS when I go to the masters or even after. 1 or 2 days a week for 1 or 2 hours (or as long as I want) I willstudy grammar and vocabulary (something my course sucks, lol). This because I also like chinese and doing the HSK is mandatory on my course to do the masters. Last week we made a sample of the HSK2 and it was really easy. I couln't believe it! And yet made that really easilyI know almost no chinese at all (I'm one of the best of my class, but still think that this course is a waste of time, because they are terrible teachers - some of the chinese language teachers) and because if I learned at home it's much faster and I would actually understand the grammar. My book has almost no grammar explanations, nor grammar patterns, we still haven't learn how to use "bie"!!!
The time I had to devote in this course for geography subjects was really a waste of time in my opinion. Instead I could have studied the languages. I'm gonna end up forgetting almost everything I learned so...and next year I will history with the same teacher (a japanese) so I can predict that it will be even worse...
4)
I'm thinking of buying a netbook for japanese learning purposes (AKA Anki, and to use my study pen drive) and internet only. And because to take out my big, fat and heavy portable computer (hm, how do you call it?) of my trolley and to to hold it in the traing can be quite difficult sometimes. But I still don't know, I will wait for my birthday or christmas so that new models come out and prices drop.
5)
I have been playing more nintendo DS lately, in english, Pokémon Soul Silver mostly. And bought The legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass for only 6.90€! I intend to finish it during the summer vacations. I would also like to play GTA Chinatown Wars, I have it and restarted it yeasterday. It's sooooo great!
I will soon post pics of several stuff. My cat, HTC Hero, my study place...
Do you like the new look?
