Sorry forgot last night to post. Yesterday I just worked on some class stuff in the morning, playing shakuhachi, nihongo study, added alittle to my paper so forth. In the afternoon I got together with Sybill (sp?) to study with her. We used a book she got of kanji listed by radical. We went through and got down about 50 I think to study for the week. After she ate we went to the @ cafe; a small cafe we had gone to before with Olivie. We brought our study stuff and got something to drink and studied kanji and various things related to Japanese until about 9 something. Got to talk to the part owner. They have people come in and the other owner lady teaches English or just does conversation in English with her guests. The fellow we were talking to also speaks some English. We talked in Japanese and English for awhile before we headed on our way. I think we are going to make this a regular spot to go and study. Nice atmosphere, small, a friendly dog and generally not very many people, but not empty. Well now I've got my work cut out for me as far as memorizing new kanji. I like the idea of learning by radicals but it is not always practical. I think some of the kanji aren't used very often. Eventually it will be good for me though to know these. Thats pretty much it, went to bed pretty soon after I got back.
