okay, so I learned the archiving feature works. . . but makes the posts disappear from the main page as well. So, this is a dumb entry, but I didn't want my main page to just have nothing on it. Go read the archives now. . .


But now I feel like I have to say something. Dumdeedoo. . . Japanese class is fun--yah. The ladies that teach it are all so cute and happy and outgoing. We're practicing how to politely refuse offers, and we had to respond to an offer to eat cake with, "Oh my, but isn't it big! Could you possibly make it smaller?" And our teacher usually pretends to cut it into slices, but this time, she also pretended that the knife slipped. She feigned grimaces of intense suffering, but none of us knew how to respond. (We didn't think we knew any appropriate word yet, and classes are conducted completely in Nihongo) Finally someone shouted out the only phrase they could think of: "Zannen des nee!" which translates to, "That's a pity!" I guess that wasn't exactly the right thing to say to someone injured, but. . .
