Last night I experienced my first typhoon... and it wasn`t quite what I`d thought it would be. I thought that perhaps nature would proclaim its magnifence through the embodiment of a tempest and wreak havoc, subjugating the fearful inhabitants of Japan.... but all it ended up being was a storm with gusty winds. =P Well, it wasn`t a strong typhoon and maybe if it was, I would have a different opinion of this matter, but it was certainly no worse than a rainy day in Cali when El Nino was around.
Today in japanese oral class, as an icebreaker, everybody had to give a five minute speech about whatever happened to be saturating in our minds when we got called on.... Man, I can`t believe I actually ended up free styling... It wasn`t the most eloquent speech or so profound that it would have won me a haiku accolade, but nonethess I managed to pull something out of nothing and finished my presentation! Good LO! Today also marked the first day I actually went to the library to study japanese for a lengthy period of time. I managed to look at some study guides the library had to offer and realized ( actually remembered ) how much there was I had yet to learn. It`s funny how the more your know, the more you discover how much you don`t know. To prevent this sad revelation, I suggest not studying at all. That way you wouldn`t know how much you don`t know, and this would then lead to happiness because everybody knows what ignorance is. If you don`t know what it is, you must REALLY be happy. =D
