Today has been ok. I just got in before midnight due to table tennis, but it seems like, as usual, my information, or lack thereof didn't prepare me for this week. I thought we would be training all week long, but apparently that's very wrong, since we actually won't be practicing any extra at all. It's so very weird to me. Korea's nickname should be changed to the Land of the Information You were Given so you Thought it was Correct, but it Turned Out to be Incorrect. The proposed name IS a little longer, but I'm pretty sure it works too.
Class today was ok, it was just a whole lot of new stuff again. The upper grammar and all of the quantifier words and all the honorific verb endings are so confusing. I'm usually pretty good at not confusing information, but not this stuff. I don't really understand why, it just happens that way. It's so interesting to me that learning a new language can be SO difficult. This is easily the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. When I was little, I could be told a word and another word and another word, and just absorb them. Now, I can absorb as long as someone repeats the word about...1000 times. I can honestly only learn like 3 or 4 words a day. How weird is that?
So, I read a synopsis about the Murray State tuition increases whole shpiel, and (I'm not going to talk about this long, for obvious reasons) I'm not very happy paying the extra money. I don't feel it's kosher to say much more than that, I'm just cheap I guess.
Back to the class, I have ben thinking about my grade all week, and it's dreadful in every meaning of the word. I literally get a feeling of dread when I think about the transcript that's going to be sent there. No matter how I study, I haven't passed a quiz yet. They are 10% of the grade. the midterm on friday is 30%, and homework is 10%. I have also not passed many homeworks. I wonder what kind of hit my GPA would take if I got a C in a twelve hour class? Actually, I'm going to calculate that now. I would have a 3.59 if that happened. boo. I will just have to hope I can study enough.
After class, I went to literature. The class is ok, but I don't particularly enjoy it right now.
Table tennis was also ok, but i find that i just can't get into it very well anymore. I'm not sure why. One of the guys in the club told me I would be sleeping in his room on Friday, to make sure I got to everything ok. It's going to be fun I think.
It's too bad that it's so late. I wanted to write, but I'm just too tired.
For now
