Blog Project

Umm... I did not really like this blog project. It would always slip my mind to write a blog entry every week, and when I did remember, I would always see it as a hassle rather than a good way to practice my Japanese. I tried telling myself "Ok. This is the week that you will write an entry," but I did not have enough motivation to follow through. It went in a downward spiral because it became so overwhelming when I thought I missed more and more weeks not writing a blog entry, so then I would avoid it all together. Like right now... its 12:40pm and Japanese class is in 20 minutes. I pulled another all nighter doing my homework and yet, I left to do my blog entry until right before class. I thought this blog was a good idea at the beginning of the semester, but actually doing it was another thing for me.

私のスピーチ

スピーチ


It was very hard listening to myself because I was quite embarrassed by my performance. My fluency could definately use some work. Sure I get nervous when speaking in front of people, especially in another language, but really that is no excuse. I forgot to say at least one line in my speech. Also, I did not know I could say "umm" (well, in this case "あの。。。") so many times in a time span of 3 minutes. *sigh* I believe I could have done a better job. >.<
