Japanese....is so fun...

Seriously, I have full intention of typing a Japanese entry one day...that is to say once I feel as if I know enough material to do so. Anyways, Japanese class has been interesting to say the least. The amount of work and preparation required continues to pile up as its magnitude escalates. It also seems to be getting more intense, confusing, and just plain hard overall. I just seem to have a penchant for failing, or at least not succeeding well. It would seem as if it is almost a physical impossibility to excel without prior exposure to the language, which I lack yet about half or more of the class has. As the class has progressed, I seem to be spending more and more time on Japanese, and the work is simply completely disproportional to any other class (although Multivariable Calculus is somewhere up there as well, but still not as much). The effort that is put through, however, is not exactly translated to success. There just seems to always be something wrong. At this point, I can either just stop trying or try to the point of exhaustion. Neither are good, but the status quo isn't too hot as well. I guess that only time will tell.... (But the class is still nevertheless fun and enjoyable, albeit intense with a lot of other stuff)
