Please stop ruining my efficiency!

Tomorrow is my last day of classes. Monday is the King's birthday (also Father's Day) and then on Tues and Wed mornings I have my 2 finals. I only really need to study for Translation, as it includes a lot of theory and words and stuff that are new to me. The other is just essays on how to fix environmental problems in Chiang Mai. That stuff is easy. I had to do a paper in place of a final for my writing class. I did a critical review of Ha Jin's The Crazed, which was a fairly decent story taking place in post Cultural Revolution China leading up to Tianamen Square. I'll find out my grAde on that tomorrow.

I haven't been to Warm Up for a few days. It was nice to take a break, but I feel I may be missing out on chances to speak lots of languages. Speaking of languages, I feel like I haven't been learning too much in Japanese lately. Which is kind of stressful considering I'm in class 6 hours a week. Its just so late, and I am often so exhausted in that class (I've been studying 10 hours Tues and Thurs). I'll see if things improve now that the term is about to end. If not, I should probably rework my schedules between the four schools next semester.

Korean class has taken a turn for the worse. Another American who teaches at Ratchabhat has managed to weasel his way into the class with me. I can't really complain because the head of the Korean lang dept teaches me for free, but this guy really kills the pace. When it was just me we did at least 3 lessons in 3 hours, but now its a struggle to finish 1 and I'm usually falling asleep (or I just leave the room for a bit) while he tries to grasp stuff. The worst part is that he lived in Korea for 4 years and as far as I can tell, he speaks less than me (which isn't saying much). I'm hoping that he just needs to remember stuff to get moving again.

As for my latest (first?) Chinese class complaint, there are now so many people in the class that we had to move into another room with crappy chairs and really tiny desks. I need lots of space to learn stuff! I need to spread my crap all over the place or I become very disorganized. Beverages, textbooks, class notebooks, portable notebooks. Argh. If I could afford it, I would just take private lessons with all of these languages.
