first japanese lesson

i slept with my physics textbook and notes last night on the bed. god I'm still so tired. and i was late for the first (physics) tutorial.

at night i went for my first Japanese lesson just now. immediately got pin-pointed out by the teacher because i wasn't there for the first Tuesday lesson (because i signed up for supper hop first) and i stupidly tell the teacher i had studied Japanese before. so Chang-san asked me to introduce myself to the class in Nihon-go. so i did it just like how JianWei and Zi Jian had said before.

Hajimemashite, watashi no namae wa Wang Wang desu. Dozo yoroshiku.

that was a slap on my own face. the teacher wanted to chase me out of the classroom to take the placement test to see if i qualify for the next level of Japanese. so he shoved me to the tutorial room next door where the overall in charge of Japanese (Ms Lee) was seated.

she spoke to me in a few sentences of Nihon-go which i didn't understand. then she wanted to chase me out of my class and requested that i leave the class then take the placement test next semester. she said other students will complain if i outshine them because i studied before. but she looked too kind for me to hold any grudge against her.

so i asked what will be tested in the placement test. all hiragana, katakana and kanji will be tested. then i voiced out that i never learn the other 2 before and that because of that i feel very "not here, not there".

so the conclusion was i can continue taking level 1 Japanese, but i cannot try to outshine the class or attract too much attention with what i know. if not other students will complain about me and give Ms Lee a headache again.

when i returned to the classroom, i felt unease. i had to make sure i dun try to outdo the class even though i didn't learn before what Chang-san was teaching.

lesson ended after 2030 and i rushed back to hall immediately to pack up and go home. daddy had instructed not to be too late. very hungry and i had not have dinner. end up packed dinner from coffee shop near home then went home to eat which was like already 11+pm.

and despite all when i reach home the first thing my mum said to me was : "why are you back so late?" and gave me that kind of reproachful look. the feeling just sucks... i never answer and remained quiet for the rest of the night.
