   que?
Japanese. Ah, Japanese. What will I ever do with you???

I Like the class, I like the language. I even like *most* of my teachers. Particularly Uchida-sensei. And, this term, Ishiguro-sensei; she's not scary anymore.

But getting up in front of the class to do the "scene" is really scary. I don't feel comfortable in front of everyone, so I get nervous and shake and stutter. It's the same thing as if I were speaking English. My teachers don't realize this, I think, and I get marked down for being so nervous. I feel like I should have a talk with the FACT teacher or something. But, whatever.

After class, today, Haso-san said, "Nomimasu ka?" which means..."do you drink?" or, literally "drink(ing)?" I looked at him with a "huh?" expression, because I was thinking about my green tea in my backpack and he asked that.

Then, he ellaborated. "Want to go get a drink with us?"

I said, very tartly, "nope." And then I felt like maybe I was being rude, so I said, "I have to go home and write a paper."

He said, "oh, have fun with that"

For some reason, I didn't feel like explaining that I'm only 18, thus underage for drinking, and thus unable to even legally enter the bar. Perhaps it's because I don't want to be looked down on, or something. I'm pretty sure that everyone in that class is several years older than me.

Although, I don't know how they can't tell. Most people look at me and don't believe I'm even 18. On the plane, I sat in an exit row, and the flight attendent points at me, and says to my MOM, "is she even 15?"

I was HIGHLY offended, not only because she insulted my age, but she treated me like and idiot. Uhm. Bitch? I know my age, you don't have to ask my MOMMY if you want an answer.

hmph.

Antyway. I'm watching American History X

Which is an incredibly difficult movie to watch, if you've ever seen it. Racism is so hard for me to deal with. It's so frustrating. We're all people, and we should be proud of who we are. But we shouldn't let it come between the fact that we're all human. We're all good at times, and we're all bad at times. No one's any better than anyone else, least of all by the color of their skin.

It's a really good movie. But I'm watching it on basic cable, so it's heavily edited. Which really takes away from the film, I think. It needs the cussing, and the violence, unfortunately. This is probably not the best movie to show so edited, but it's better it be shown in one form than in no form. It can still get its message across.

Anyway. I'm watching it. Very serious >_>

of course, you know me ^^ I care about things, but I'm very rarely a serious person.
