Exam Week

So I wrote my geography test on Tuesday... It was frickin hard! I could hardly understand the questions, mostly because there were so many kanji I couldn't read. I think I ended up answering about half of it. I answered all of the mulitliple choice/ fill in the blank (words were provided) and a couple written questions. I might have been able to do more but I ran out of time >.<
School finished at lunch, so I went home.
It got kinda boring being at home, because either no one else was there or when my host sis was, she was studying. I was able to hang out with Helle on Thursday after she was done school. We ended up going to Don Quixote. It is one of the most amazing stores ever! It has everything from groceries to clothes to vehicle products/accessories XD

I unfortunately kinda forgot the way. At this one intersection we went straight, but it didn't look right so we turned around and went left instead. That didn't seem right either, so we went back and turned right. We then ran into a bridge I knew you don't go over... It turned out the first way we went was the right way XD.

We ended up spending a couple hours just looking around. I got shorts and pants for gym. I also bought a notebook and pencil crayons (I want to start drawing again...) We got crepes filled with banana, strawberries, whip cream and vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Soooo delicious!

Back to exams. Today, I got my exam back and... *drumroll*............I got 43%! Now in Japan, a passing mark is around 30%, so I actually passed! When the teacher handed back my test, everyone was asking what I got, and he told them... and I got lots of oohs and aaahs XD. Apparently I actually did better than a couple people :S.

During last block we had Chinese exchange students come visit. There were about 8 of them. They were pretty good in English, not fluent, but could make themselves understood. Our class was split up into groups and one Chinese student per group. The girl in my group also spoke some Japanese which was cool. We had to make a chart thing about the differences between Japan and China. We wrote about New Year, some foods and school. Something that surprised me was they had school from about 7:30pm or 8am to 6pm or 7pm! O.o I thought Japanese school was long (8:30am to 3:30pm or 4:10pm). The girl was really nice. It was fun! My classmates English isn't that great, and the girl's Japanese wasn't that great (but still pretty good). So  I ended up translating for them, which was really cool! :D
