Today was a fun day, I guess. I spent most of the day studying for the third part of my korean final. I'd already taken the speaking and writing portions of the test, all I had left was the 한자 portion. That's chinese characters. They use them in the more sophisticated writings. Anyway, we had about 100-120 characters to memorize. Some of them we only had to recognize, but most we had to know how to write, read, and know the english translation. The format is basically a packet of paper with spots to write each character, along with it's reading and meaning. I ended up only missing one character. I certainly impressed myself, particularly since I hadn't really studied them for more than 3 or 4 days. I also got some free pizza on the way to take the test.
Not everything was great like that. I had a quiz (for the same class). I studied for the quiz. I even studied with a Korean, so I was pretty well prepared. Unfortunately, when I actually took the quiz, I discovered I had studied the wrong chapter. That means I've got a fair amount of makeup work to do.
