Some of you might think that I made it sounded like a torture for me to learn Japanese this week, especially on Twitter but it was only because I always get nervous whenever I have exam, that was why all I wanted for this week is for the Japanese final test to be over. It finally was; after 12.15 p.m. today my Japanese class for this semester was finally over. The test was not as scary as we thought it would be, actually I should have just study all of the sentence pattern all the week and know no verbs at all and I would do great. All of us (at least those who I asked) managed to do most of the test and our result would be okay. At least we hope so.
I was confused at two question in total. The first one is when I wasn’t sure in which group was the verb belong (and I didn’t bother to check after the exam. I don’t want to know.). The second one was when they asked us to fill in the correct verb form in 病院でタバコを＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ください. There is two possibilities to answer the question: すいて or すわないで. The first one would mean “Please smoke at the hospital” and the second one would mean “Please don’t smoke at the hospital”. While logically and morally the second one would be the correct answer, I think it was a little bit weird because the で part should have been provided in the problem instead of being the part of the verb. You might not even get what I meant, but it was weird. Anyway, I decided to follow my moral value and choose the second one.
As usual, after exam I don’t have the mood to do anything except for treating my self some hours in the internet or other happy stuff, so I decided to go home. I went to my lab first to get the lab MacBook in case I suddenly have the mood to work in the weekend (in most cases, never) and was surprised by the sight of one of my lab member sleeping in a sleeping bag behind my desk. Afraid of disturbing him, after posting to twitter that I’m alive, I quickly excused myself and met Camilla at the station. We decided to go to Tokyu Square and when Camilla went looking for some clothes, I went to Village Vanguard, a “book store” which is not only bookstore but also sells “exciting” and unique stuff. I went to one in Odaiba, but I’ve never knew that they had one store in Aobadai. I always like pretty/cute and unique stuff so it was a sweet torture for me to be in that kind of places because I want to buy them all but obviously I don’t have the money. Even when I have the money to buy something, my brain will always scream about how useless that thing is and what a waste of money to buy it. Like today, I wanted to buy a mask to scare people in my presentation, but it was more than 1,500 yen and I’m NOT going to invest that amount of money on scaring people. Though it would be interesting………….
I bought this because this, on the other hand, is not useless. Perfect drink for curious people.
On a completely unrelated note, I’m officially hating my shower. The tap in our dorm bathroom used the kind of tap where you can choose for the water to run to the sink or to the bath. Before I turn on the shower, I usually test the water temperature using the sink tap because it usually take a long time for the hot water to run. I learnt that jumping into the shower without checking the temperature first and being unable to breathe because the water is still freezing cold when you think it’s warm is not the best idea. The problem is that recently no matter how much I adjust the hot water and cold water, it won’t get warm. Funnily, once I turn the switch into the shower mode, the water ALWAYS suddenly got too warm and no matter how much I adjust the temperature, which resulting in me cursing under my breath while trying to avoid the water in panic.
