JAPN411 meeting 4

The class was a veritable disaster, since I was completely unprepared. I did not do my homework, and did not study for the quiz (we learned honorific and humble equivalents, e.g. いらっしゃる vs おる, ごらんになる vs 拝見する, etc. -- the stuff that soured Feynman on Japanese according to "Surely you are joking"). The trouble is how impossible is to remember them without using them.

Now I have twice as much homework to complete by Monday. Clearly I cannot keep up, maybe I should drop tomorrow.

I interrogated a classmate who studied in Akita (Sandy), and it made my decision to rent a car more definite. Coincidentially, W1 rudely interrupted our conversation.
