whitereflectionStupid mistakes on yesterday's quiz. It was a damned frickin' simple quiz, too, just filling in question words--and I switch donna and dono. I *know* those two words, I know donna is 'what kind of' and dono is 'which'. I *Know* that. But I switched them. Stupid, stupid, not-paying attention mistakes. And right before the midterm coming up, too...let's not start that trend, eh? >X
Then this listening exercise in class. Three little mini-conversations, and we're supposed to come up with a basic summary of the details of the conversations by listening for words we know. So I could come up with a summary for the first conversation...basically. Second two...no fricking clue. Even though she played each recording for us 2-3 times, I was just lost, couldn't figure out a damned thing. I can muddle through reading, but god do I suck at auditory comprehension (and I'm not real great at speaking, either). Why is this..? It's not like I don't listen to a huge amount of Japanese music almost *every* single day and evening. And it's not like I don't listen to anime, where they're speaking at conversational speed. And I can pick out some words in both those cases. Why can't I understand this better? For gods sake. Teh. Suckage.
And my head hurts. But that's my own damn fault, for smacking myself in the forehead good a couple times when I got really frustrated. Yeah, stupid, I know.
Homework tonight, of course, and reviewing/studing. But of course, now gotta add in that listening exercise. Am going to listen to those damned conversations over and over and god-blasted *over* again until I can hear the alleged words we know and get the gist of what's going on. Ngah.
Mmph...owe Arty a RP response. Work on email, or eat? Eh.
