Watashi no Kuni (My Country)

We gave a presentation today about our countries in the Japanese language. I wasn`t looking too forward to this as having studied the Japanese language for only about 6 weeks now, a presentation was not something I felt I was ready for.

First I had problems writing my essay. Luckily a Japanese friend, Haruka-san, was kind enough to translate my essay into Japanese for me and had it not been for her, I wouldn`t have been able to finish it.

I was then unlucky enough to be the first presenter and when I stood up in front, I forgot some of the lines I had memorized. (We were told that we had to memorize our essays and that we wouldn`t be allowed to read. I found this very unreasonable).

So, I`m not feeling too pleased with myself today as I think my presentation wasn`t so good. I have a Kanji test this Friday and I think I should make it up by studying for it.
