sherryillkSo I went to my exam and it was fine. Mostly. There were a handful of questions that I guessed on, a couple more that I was mostly sure of and two that I had just totally forgotten but out of a 100 question exam, it really wasn't bad. Plus, it was cumulative, something I normally wouldn't rejoice about but the stuff we covered earlier in the year were the ones I was actually good at, both because I was familiar with the subject matter much more so than the later topics and because I actually went to those lectures. *laughs* I'm just glad this class is over.
Now back to Japanese. I went to sleep for about five hours but I feel better awful right now despite getting sleep. And I have so much more to do with this assignment! I need to finish up summarizing two paragraphs and the first part of another so two and a half paragraphs. And then the poem. The evil poem by Rukeyser. If anyone can tell me what the hell her The Book of the Dead poem is all about, it would be greatly appreciated. From what I've read online, it's about a tragedy in the 1930s and about objectivity... I would never have guessed that.
And I don't suppose anyone out there can tell me a bit about the history of Gunzou? I can't figure out if Tsushima was talking about writing for it in 1978 or if the magazine started its publication during that time... :\ How not fun. What subjects are omitted, I get confused.
Oh well, hopefully I'll figure something out. I was able to finish the translations so it's only a summary so I'll try and get most of it but if I don't, it probably won't be too bad...Hopefully. :\ This is my last final and I have until 5 PM tomorrow to turn it in. Here's to hoping for a productive day of Japanese. One that doesn't require me to stay up all night.
