We're coming to a close. I still feel painfully behind everyone else. A couple of weeks ago I was looking for something related to what I was studying and found this quiz. I thought I'd try it. Then the page opens to a wall of Hiragana and I gasped! I was shocked! I was scared! And two seconds later I realized I can actually read it. Hahaha!
I think there exists a huge gap in what I'm doing and what I think I can do. So far, I've done okay in tests but I still feel like I know nothing. I look at everyone else and wonder why I can't seem to be able to apply what I've learned like they do. If they ask me something in Japanese, in my head I jump like a startled cat.
At some point in the last couple of weeks, I've thought to myself that I should find a way to bridge this gap. But now there's just no more time to get it accomplished before the class ends.
So right now, all I want is to be able to enjoy this until it ends. With my history, just the fact that I started this is already a cause for celebration. Whatever happens, however it turns out, I'll set my sights on what's happening now and savor this moment.
