春休み

先週は春休みでした。春休みはとてもゆっくりしました。カリフォルニアに帰りました。いい天気でしたね。そこで、家族と会ったり、おいしいたべものをたべたり、ビーチに行ったりしました。それから、スタンフォードで友達と会ったりもしました。スタンフォードの医大 (medical school) でけんきゅう(research) のインターンシップのインタビューがありました。

　

PE6: Reflection and Goal

This has been a tough semester so far. I am still learning how to manage my time with all of my classes so that I can incorporate independent Japanese study time. It seems that the exams are becoming more and more difficult and it is too easy to lose points. I like that we are learning causal speech because it will be more appropriate to use around people my age; however, I find it difficult to conjugate quickly. As for my semester goals, I will try to attend office hours more often (maybe 4 times a month), will review conjugations with any new vocabulary, and will practice writing in kanji weekly. I will also practice speaking in casual speech with my Japanese friend over a meal once or twice a week.
