Japanese 101

Several sessions into our Japanese Language Class, I was forced to memorize the katakana due to an impending test. It wasn't a breeze. Finding myself suddenly studying after more than 8 years of hiatus was more challenging than expected. Then the exams came - I was writing 107 characters all completely foreign to me til this day. It was delightful; I got a score of 88 but before i can even render "omedetou" to myself, I was told by the sensei I have to get 7 more items right to pass. Whew!
