Japanese class today.

Yesterday’s blog
I attended the Japanese language class today. It was absolutely brilliant. They taught us how to read and write Japanese. The Japanese written language is divided into 3 categories namely the hiragana, katakana and designated kanji. The hiragana is the most formal style (ie in Acts of Parliament) while the katakana is least formal used for conversation etc (i might be wrong, probably is the other way round). The katakan consists of 46 alphabets. We are required to master it within 2 weeks.

Our class consists of an equal mixture of Asians and Caucasians. The sensei (lecturer) divided us into groups and required us to converse with each other in Japanese. Since all we learn today is just asking basic conversation, we could only form 2 sentences (we sound like babies trying to put words together).

I’m trying to drop one Law and Medicine so that i could take Japanese. However, it seems that a lot of people has been rejected from taking it. I talked to the head of the Japanese language class about it and she accepted my application. However, i don’t think it’s enough. I heard that I have to get an authorization signature from the Dean. *fingers crossed*

The class was held in the Art’s Tower. Apparently it’s the tallest building in Sheffield. But to me, it just an old building barely 16 storeys high. The only cool thing is the moving lift. It could only fit 2 people and people have to jump into the lift while it moves. Even though it looks cool, the lift section is the worst place to be. During peak hours, the place will be congested and everybody will be fighting for a place in the lifts.

I’m off to London on Saturday! The ticket cost me 26 quid (fucking hell). It will take me more than 3 hours to get there. Unfortunately, i have 2 problems. Firstly, my dad hasn’t transferred any money into my account yet. I think i still have less than 100 pounds to survive. Secondly, i dont know my way in London. I hope i dont get loss there!
