Reading manga on the side and studying flash cards everyday helps, although I can't help but wonder when I'll ever get to use the kanji for guaze and placenta.
Damn... you're just going to miss me, by like a couple of weeks. Seeing as how we're not able to use any miles due to us leaving the day before a Japanese holiday (oops) another trip in the summer could happen. We'll see though. Sometimes I wish my bosses would quit paying me so I could move back... would keep the wife off my balls too (in the bad way, that is).
How long RU going for? Got a job sorted?

Being a student is fun. Just make sure you're single. Be careful though. I ran out of money every month my first year. Was embarassing having to ask my parents to spot me from 5,000 miles away a few times.
Would love to study again. Marriage kind of rips that whole card up, other than studying on your own. I assume a kid would make it even harder.

Word. I happen to know someone else that has happened to...
I'm currently halway into my first year of intensive intro. We've learned about 50-60 kanji, and are supposed to know 150 by the end of the school season.
I was surprised to find my class populated by 11 chinese, and only 6 canadians.
^ Surprised be not because it's easier for Chinese to learn Japanese than most other people. Though, strangely, I was the only chinese in my last japanese class. Maybe they're in higher classes.

Why did I think you were Spanish or Mexican?

My parents are Chinese and so am I because I was born in Hong Kong. However, I wasn't raised in Hong Kong. My mum and dad moved to the Dominican Republic (of all places) when I was a kid, so I am fluent in Spanish and sometimes do crappy imitations to throw you guys off.
