Really well done :biggrin:

Just out of curiosity, do you know a girl called Jane Fey on your Japanese course? :tongue:

.ACS.

It's a new term, and a new start. So far I've attended pretty much all my lectures. Now I just need to keep up to date with all the work gone through and also get a start on my dissertation.

Here's to a new page!

She's lovely, so definitely do talk to her if you see her :smile:

Btw, what's it like to learn Japanese? Is it hard?
And how do they type? Since they have so many kanji? I mean they'd need a massive keyboard if they used the same 9 key keyboard as us for their mobiles. How do they get around it? :smile:

Japanese grammar itself is not so difficult, at least while you`re studying the basics. Kanji is difficult but they have 2 simpler alphabets that we learn at the start and that are consistently used throughout Japanese writing, as they are also used for grammatical points and foreign words.

I have a Japanese laptop and a Japanese mobile :tongue:

so I know exactly what their keyboards are like. The laptop keyboard is the same and I can type hiragana by simply choosing the corresponding letters (e.g. ka comes up as か I hope the japanese shows up on here :redface:

) to transform words into their kanji I simply hit spacebar afterwards.
A mobile phone works in the same way as ours, hiragana is made up of less than 40 symbols which make up phonetic sounds e.g. ka ki ku ke ko so where we have one key for abc, they have one for each group of sounds ^^

I really hope that makes at least some sense... It`s a little confusing :tongue:

Surely these are (almost) synonymous? (Almost!)

Tonights target:
~~Finish lab report~~
Write lab safety audit for next experiment.
Update lab book
File notes

Just seen the state my lab book is in, and how outdated it is so sorting this out too. Have made a start on it.

Well check me out, been to EVERY single lecture this week and done all the prep.

:jive:

I'm so tired now though, and I need to make dinner, empty the old freezer and upload and edit my lecture recordings.

Tomorrow I have a committee meeting and a mock criminal trial which should be interesting - if I can stay awake that is!

Virtual lecture watched, lecture attended and I've made a list of the reading I have left to do. Just watching Corrie and then I will do a bit of reading and start editing my essay.

I would, but I've banned myself from getting a console until I've finished my degree :sad:
