I was going to do a Japanese meme for Hagaren but the only thing that would have come out of it are the revelations that I would like to date, hold hands with and be hugged by Roydor and that I would NOT like to have the Elrics as my enemies. Also, I don't really feel like deciding just who I would like to chit-chat with so the hell with it. Time to talk about VIETNAMESE.
...it's hard, this Vietnamese. It's the tones that are getting me. For instance, when you say a word in a high-pitched voice it means something different from when you say it in a low-pitched voice. It's completely new to me and I don't get it. So far the best I can do is practice my pronunciation a lot and hope it starts sinking in. I'm also afraid of the rest of my class. There are 6-7 people and they all know another language (besides English). ...which actually means I fit right in, but I have no self-esteem and they're all older than me, so I get really nervous.
Oh, and I made myself do my homework in pen. I usually use pencilbecause it's easier to draw with because it's easier if I make a mistake, but I'm still afraid the professor is going to bitch me out for writing in pencil. Well, it's not such small thing, if he gets home and he can't read my homework because it's in pencil he'll give me a bad grade! Or tell me I'm a brat after all for not writing in pen like all the big kids! Except I'm also afraid he's going to bitch me out if I cross out anything or make it look anything less than perfect and beautiful on the page. Because he has to look at it, and...I was having goofy fantasies that long ago, his scary Vietnamese school teacher hit him with a ruler for crossing things out on his homework, and now he's going to make that the reason my homework has to be perfect. No, really. So I'm FREAKING OUT about my homework and it took much longer than I meant it to. It also took 4-5 pages out of my notebook because I kept starting over AHAHAHAHAHA what.
So, like, I'm going to keep going to Vietnamese, because the teacher doesn't look that bad and I can't be the dumbest one in the class. But it's so hard! Wah!
