Biology

So in most of my classes, the teachers just ignore me… which is okay I guess since I don’t understand. However, in Biology, the teacher tries to include me and help me understand. She writes the main vocab in English, and will write the hiragana (reading) of the kanji. She is so nice, and I really appreciate the extra effort she makes to help me understand. I have already learned what they are doing… which helps too.

Anyway, we had a test in bio yesterday, on the parts of an animal and plant cell. I had to write it as well. I ended up getting….*drum roll* … 9/13! 4 questions I couldn’t answer because it was a whole bunch of complicated kanji. I wrote all but one of my answers in Japanese. When my teacher saw my mark, she was pretty shocked that I was even able to answer, let alone pass (and do better than about half the class XD).

Yes, I know the parts of a cell in Japanese, but I’m still having trouble having a simple conversation >.<
