I’m beside myself these days. I’ve wanted to learn Japanese for years now, and have been frustrated because it doesn’t seem like I’ll get the chance to study it (full-time, that is). Two months ago a good friend of mine reminded me that I could always take evening courses, so I signed up and started waiting.
I’ve really been good at waiting – for being me. Sure, all my friends are probably hoping that they’ll never have to hear the words “language course” or “Japanese course” again, but I could have been worse. Now it’s only 6 days left until I start, and I just don’t have any patience left. I feel like I’m just all over the place.
Yesterday I got my letter with the invoice for the course fee, and some practical information. I’ll go to the bookstore today to get the course books – the good thing is that I’ve been wanting to buy those exact books for years now. They’re a tad expensive, but seem good.
I think it’s a good thing that my schedule is full until the course starts – today is work, tomorrow is dance practice, Friday is 3 hours work and then a visit from Mai (my Japanese friend), Saturday, Sunday and Monday I’m home and Tuesday is the big day.
Anyway, back to work.
