勉強になりました！

I studied for a whopping 3 and a half hours today, including my 90 minute class.

I haven't gone hardcore like that for years and now I'm knackered!

The best bit is, I think I'm really close to filling in all those blanks with the grammar basics. I haven't found it difficult to pick up the general basic rules of verb groups and sentence structure and all that malarky - I think it's just a matter of applying those rules with the more advanced grammar that I'm studying now.

It still feels a little strange to be doing the basics at one school and then be studying a pre-advanced course in another. Although everything is making MUCH more sense now I know why I'm speaking the way I am. LOL!

I wish I had a day where I can do absolutely NOTHING. I might have to take a day like that next month just so I can remember what it's like to slob around on my arse all day. I don't think there have been too many of them since I moved to Tokyo actually....shame.
