I am pretty rested and I got some homework done. Not as much as I would've liked but, I am making progress so it is all good.

I shared some videos I used to study Korean back in the day, they were taught in Japanese. I always found them super useful at the time, and kept me engaged more to retain my Japanese plus learn another one at the same time.

Plus, it wasn't always Japanese people who spoke to me in Japanese. I talked to several different types of learners, of Japanese.

I find myself channeling in the sunshine. I feel like today will be well.

I definitely need to redo my homework but, I consider it good study.

I am so glad my labradorite is getting activated by the sun. We both need the sun to be healthy.

The break in the rain feels great. I need to bring all my math homework in my backpack. I got about 45 minutes to do that, but I am just enjoying this sun and smooth music playing.

I probably did write too personally here in my homework. I am trying to weigh the pros and cons of having my questions answered.

I asked 3 major ones:

  • What does " ni ha " vs just " ni " mean?
  • What is the difference between " Konkai " and " Kondo " ?
  • Does " tabekitta " have the same meaning as " scarfed up? "

I mean, I think it is worth having these questions answered?

I mean, I think it might be overly cautious of things to give up the opportunity to learn. Especially since I have been updated information especially on " tabekitta ". Apparently that is sort of a more negative meaning and it is usually when you are struggling/struggled to eat something. I know "scarfed up" is more about the speed but, I think there is the connotation of it being eaten too quickly.

Yea I am wondering if I am being too bold in the discord right now, I will eventually back out but I wanted to spend my time with, but i haven't properly set up the plans for what I am going to do.

I am in math class now so, I am just preparing myself for class while he's passing out the tests results, I am needing to update my notes I think but, I will make a few minor adjustments to the notes to reflect my current understandings of things.

I think I shouldn't look at what he is showing right now, since I need to do this test still.

I am kind of taking notes but it really does feel more cheating since it is the exact questions. I just realized I am going to need to get more comfortable using Desmos, I think it is the math people's preferred storage of information, Plus is has a " displace screen " of sorts directly on the website so, it does make for a lot easier work arounds. I am trying to accommodate for the sake of congruency.

Now going back to my Japanese homework. I feel for the sake of correctness I need to make it less personal but, at the same time I really want those questions answered. The thing is, I'd have to ask them in class if I don't write them in my homework. I just like to hurry up and get out of there to be honest.

I need to focus on my homework so I really don't have time to think of the implication of things. I need to figure out who I am standing by and who I am not.
