Tis indeed a great day

I just had my Japanese lesson which was fun. We concluded that I should use the new phrases and words I've learnt or I'll never improve. Today's phrase was to bear a grudge - uramu. The example in today's lesson was : ooya ni urandemo ima sara, atama ga yoku naru wake jyanai!! ( Even if I hold a grudge against my parents for giving me my stupidity, there's no chance of me getting cleverer now! )...Hmm. Doesn't make much sense that one. Anyway it almost makes sense! It seems that in the same way that if I just let my fingers remember my forgotten passwords, I can remember Japanese words. What's it called again? Mechanical memory or something. Well, if you mouth the new vocabulary you've learnt, or use it, it's more likely to become ingrained in the brain. Maybe it uses a different part of the brain, a more accessible part! But I am no brain scientist, so what do I know!

"Lunch time Haiku"

It's lunch time,
Is that why I am so hungry?
Or is it because I'm hungry that it is lunch time?
A bit of both...
The moon in Autumn.

He he. My friend's mum loves Haiku and she told me that you have to use seasonal symbols. Always the moon in Autumn!
