XP I just got home from Korean class! Today we learnt yet another speech level - the informal polite form. So far we've learnt the honorific form and the formal polite form. =S I think there's another level below informal polite form since there must be an 'impolite' form in order for there to be a polite form. Just as I thought Japanese was bad enough with all the plain, polite, honorific, humble forms...things got worse!! I'm so confused and I bet I'll need to spend the next few days trying to figure things out.
Despite all the confusion in class, I was quite happy during class.
(1) I scored 19.5/20 for last week's Verbs quiz! The one dumb mistake wasn't really a mistake because I just forgot to draw a horizontal stroke to the vertical one so the word turned out wrong. =X Careless careless...
(2) I scored full marks for last week's Adjective quiz!! YATTA! =)
(3) I scored A for my essay and had only two mistakes. Wuahahaha So happy! My effort didn't go to waste. Now I'll just have to try memorise the whole thing =/
Yes, I know I sound like a hopeless primary school student showing off her grades. Just let me be hahah! It's not often I score this well! How I hope it'll be the same for my official Listening and Oral tests (these quizes are only components of the "Class Participation" marks) and the FINALS!!!
(4) The teacher read out my answer for last week's hw. We were asked to describe two friends and somehow, I forgot to write my name on the hw...aniwaes, yeah I was quite shocked when I heard her saying "이 친구는 준입니다." which means "This friend is Jun."
Well, we had to write about two friends. I wrote about one but couldn't think of someone to write about for the second (yes, it's that sad) so I decided to write about Jun.
Here's what I wrote:
이 진구는 준입니다. This friend is Jun.
준은 일본 사람이고 제 대학교에 다닙니다. Jun is a Japanese and attends my university.
똑똑하고 멋있습니다. [He is] smarts and handsome.
우리는 만화 영화를 좋아하고 주말에 봅니다. We like anime and watch them during weekends.
그리고 준이는 키가 큽니다. Also, Jun is tall. (Ok, I was totally lying here but I had to so I could write the following)
매일 농구를 합니다. [He] plays basketball everyday.
It's really short and simple but I'm just happy the teacher read about Jun to the class. LOL...
I was going to get the June WU, provided there're still some left at Kino. However, as I was at the train station on my way home, I saw people collecting donations for the 四川缅甸 earthquake/cyclone so I dropped Arashi's Full of Love into the box.
Come to think of it, I 'gave' Arashi's love to those hit by the disasters ne. I'll try to work my budget & get the mag! <3
