Well, let's start since... I don't even remember the last time I wrote an entry. Bad memory (Uyuki slaps her brain).
Anyaway. I've started japanese classes everyday (which is good because I get to practice more, but I also have to get up early and I'm not a morning person).
I've been doing great so far. I still have so many problems with grammar and so, but I hope they get better with time. I've started writing a diary in japanese (my sentences look like ones from a 5 year old, but I don't care) and my teacher checks it every now and then to correct the mistakes and all. I hope I'll improve my writting that way and that I also manage to learn some kanjis (I have to If I'm gonna write them).
And since we have classes everyday, it actually gives us the time to do more things outside the book (which again, is great). Every Monday we do a "write-as-many-kanjis-as-possible-in-fiv
We also have listening and reading comprehension. Conversations and writting. It feels like I'm learning more and I really like it. I can think a bit more in japanese, and I find it amazing.
(And, I've also been noticing more things in my anime videos, I can recognize more structures and so ^^).
Ok, another thing.
There is an African film festival right now called "Africala". My university always offers help to the festival if they need it, specially with interpreters and translators for the movies they bring. One of my friends is helping out right now and they sent her the script of a movie last Monday. They wanted it for Tuesday (oh lovely people...)
So I stayed at university until 5:00 o'clock to finish the translation. We divided the script in three eventually, but it's the first time I do a translation for something official outside school papers. It's stressfull, but ¿I felt so good. I just hope it was ok.
What else?
Yesterday, I remained at school until 6 studying with my friends for a "compared phonology" test that was supposed to be today. We studied everything, we went crazy probably, but we were ready for the exam, at least I was.
And then, this morning, I got up at quarter to six, I got ready and all. I was running late actually ^^U. Then I got a message from a friend, asking me if today we had classes. Since I thought she bumped her head or something I told her yes. No more than a minute later my dad called, telling me that apparently ALL the classes were canceled today. All of them, in the whole city. From Kindergarden to University. Since I know he is not crazy I asked my mum. She thought I was crazy.
We turned the telly on and there it was, the news. Today, the president announced that all classes in Mexico city were cancelled because there was an influenza outbreak and until they knew how to control it everyone was to stay at home if possible. So no classes.
Actually, the news came out yesterday, but since I was studying at school I had no idea.
So I called the school and they told me there was gonna be no classes today. So I'm home with nothing to do.
My exam has been moved, I think we're gonna make it on Tuesday (because on Monday we have classes when the teacher is free, and we still don't know if we'll have classes on monday.)
Apparently is an influenza that comes from swines (like the avian flu, this one is swine flu).
I hate epidemics.
I think is the first time in my life that my classes have been canceled by the president. I've had always had school while the rest of the world had their epidemics. It's the first time this is happening, at least that I remember.
Well, those are the news so far. This has never happend before.
