Writing

Ok, so just when I was getting pretty bored of my Japanese class, of memorizing a ridiculious (30) number of Kanji per day the teacher told us that we have to make a speech as a presentation next week, the speech also has to be memorized. While everyone else was busy complaining about the length of the speech, and debating the teacher on how long it should be, and the fact that its smooshed right in between two tests, a comletely different thought flashed through my mind. The first was "I get to write!! and I get to share my writing with people." My second thought? "I can ask all my Japanese friends for help! This is going to be awesome."

I actually had trouble focusing for the rest of the class, because there were ideas floating in my head as to how I should go about this. The teacher wanted us to write about our country's 'Manners'...yeah, I felt somewhat unethusiastic to write about American manners. (Never admit defeat in an argument, no matter how ridiculious you sound, its how Congress and FoxNews do it). Of course all the teacher wants is for us to include a certain grammatical item in our speech, besides that he, as I expected is very flexible with the topic. I am thinking that I will translate my piano entry with minor modifications to include the grammatical rule.
