Middle is fine by me

While my patience was a bit better today, classes were really difficult. I signed up for Japanese class at city hall tomorrow. I am very excited but also very nercous. The lady interviewed me in Japanese to see which class I would fit into. She only asked me my name, where I was from, how long I had been here, and what I did here. I misspoke several times even though these are such standard questions that you'd think I'd be great at them by now. She put me in the middle class, but said that I would probably be bored some days, but that I could help othersif I wanted. I was stinkin' excited at this placement. I had wanted to be in the second class and her telling me that it may be too easy boosted my confidence. I am so nervous though! The first day of school! AHHH. On the list of think I want to do while living in Japan, as far as personal growth goes, is study Japanese and study Buddhism. I think it would be silly for me to leave this country and never have really applied myself to either. Speaking goal: to have dinner with somone ONLY in Japanese by the end of the year. 頑張りましょう！
