taking and making tests

Class went well today, and I spent the majority of the night studying for my midterm tomorrow. I think that I’m ready, but I’ve never been very good with languages. Yet, for some reason, Japanese seems to be coming to me much easier than English ever did. I think I will continue my study of Japanese language. If I get really good, it is possible that I could work as a translator of Japanese texts into English, although I am not sure I would want that to be my primary job. I just think it’s useful to have a second language, and French and I parted ways a while ago. While I retained some of it…I’m afraid to start it again at W&M for fear that I’ll lose the met requirement. At the same time, I have to have a foreign language for grad school, and I’d like to continue Japanese. I only hope that I can take it pass/fail, since I am not sure foreign languages and my GPA would get along very well.

Studying today went really well, and one of the people I was studying with told me that I made a very good practice test. I thought it was cool that he thought my test was hard since he’d had an entire semester of Japanese before coming here. Someday maybe I will be making tests for people to take. It’s certainly a thought.
