Fujio-sensei tells her regular Japanese students that they should study at least two hours a day. However, since this is a summer class and every day is equivalent to one week of regular class, Fujio-sensei suggests we study at least six hours a day.
Yesterday, I got home as early as I could so I could take my grandmother, Joane, to a breast cancer center (henceforth BCC) to discuss treatment options. Her friend, Carolyn, wanted to go along to help out, but her van was having A/C trouble. The plan was to drop off Carolyn’s van at the shop and then take Joane’s car to town. I, of course, was the chauffer. As Carolyn walked to the building to hand the gentlemen her keys, she had another fall. Plans changed a little and we took her to the VA on our way to the BCC. The new plan was to pick her up on the way back. A few hours passed before we returned to the VA (“cancer treatment options” is not a discussion you want to rush), but they still were not done doing tests, so Joane and I went home.
Sometime in there, my brother, Eric, called me to inform me that he found $200 I accidentally left in a suitcase. Happy birthday brother!
It was a little early for dinner but for some reason I was quite hungry by the time I got home, so I ate early. Which was convenient since the time I normally eat dinner, as I was preparing to study, I got a phone call from Carolyn telling me to pick her up. Of course when I got there, I had to wait another hour or so while they waited on results for a test. So I finally got home and ready to study around 8:30pm, an hour and a half before I normally go to bed. There is a fine line between too little sleep and too little studying. If you get it wrong, you will not know the material. Fortunately I had spent some time trying to learn Japanese on my own a few years ago, however, I think we have now moved beyond where I left off.
