Hey.
Japanese isn't that hard. I have mastered Hiragana and Katakana (basic "alphabets" of Japanese along with Kanji) and yea, it;s going well. I am just listening and speaking Japanese to learn more vocab & grammar (how fun LOL)
Knitting is easy! I am just following up on some guides and it's going smoothly. All in all, my time in Korea proves to be fairly fun.
On the other hand, I assume that you are fairly busy with your first set of HSC tasks?? Good luck. But don't stress as they won't be worth much.
