Feelings About JAPN101

Since I am the type of person who has the least motivation to do blogs, AGAIN, I am going to talk about something boring. (last time I talked about learning tips :[ ) Before I get started, I just wanna clarify that my purpose of writing is definitely NOT judging any person, but simply expressing my own feeling about the class itself!

Before I decided to take this class, I've asked quite a lot of friends who had taken it. My friends told me that it would be almost impossible to get an "A" for this class. What I heard surprised me a little bit although I had already knew that 101 classes are not easy at U.Va.

Until now, I came to understand why my friends said that. Because this is 101 so we have lots of stuff to do. What's more, our teacher, Satoo-sensee is a really responsible and helpful person even though sometimes she seems to be pretty strict. On the other hand, I think it's a good thing because I could always learn a LOT from her class as long as I'd done all the work required. My Japanese friends, including my Japanese tutor in China said that my Japanese had improved a lot since I took the class, which made me a little proud of myself. ^^

Also, another thing that I was originally worried about was the people I am taking with in this class. But now I felt so lucky that everyone in my class is so awesome and nice! And I really enjoy having every class with them so far! Even after class, sometimes we would have lunch together or do skit practice together. I have a strong feeling that after a semester/year we will be really good friends! ようかた！^^

Just like what I've said, taking JAPN101 gives you a such a special and wonderful feeling because you are taking it with such a responsible teacher and such nice friends! These feelings can be my strongest reason to take the class and also my most wonderful experience to put into my mind.
