I doubt anyone is actually reading this at this point in time but,
お久しぶり！(o hisashi buri) [It's been a long time]
This is a greeting you use with a friend that you haven't seen in a while. When talking with friends you can drop the "O" this is formal "O". For those not familiar with the formal "O" I'll give you a quick run down.
In formal (also known as polite) speech in Japanese to make some words formal you add the sound "O" or "Go" to the front of the word. This makes it a polite word and is usable when talking to others who "outrank" you. This speech is known as 敬語 (kei go) It is often called "Honorific" when talking to someone who out ranks you can speak to them in Honorific form or use the "Humble" form. The humble form can only be used when referring to yourself. It makes you inferior to the person who outranks you. Warning!!!! Use humble form carefully! If used wrong it can be insulting and might get you in trouble!!!!
So, back to what my topic was suppose to be about....
The trip is drawing closer and there are still lots of things that need to be taken care of. We're STILL waiting to hear back on the dorm situation. We haven't been able to contact them so it worries me but I'm sure it will work out.
The airline prices have gone up. The original price we payed was $1100.00 and have risen to $1200.00 I know it's not a lot but it still kinda worries me as usual.
While tuition has been paid, the money hasn't been taken out of people's accounts yet it seems.
So for those who have paid your money, you haven't yet! So keep an eye on your bank accounts.
I worry that people will not know and have spent the money and when time comes to pay, will not have it.
Kanji Kentei is approaching as well. I hope that the people who are taking it have been studying! Do your best!
JAPANESE CLUB MEETING THIS FRIDAY!
We will be discussing things about the trip as well as practice for the JLPT exam which the placement exam for ARC will be based off of. We will also be playing a game. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!
You know with all this worrying I do you'd think I would have an ulcer by now...
oh wait I do! >_<
