I had my second private lesson today. The teacher, Kotouge-sensei, is a young lady doing a masters in education in Nanzan University. She has been to Ireland once before and was excited to meet an Irishman. She’s a great teacher and we got on well so I’m looking forward to her classes now. I’ve met all my teachers now except for one more. That’s my Friday private lesson teacher, but since I’ve asked for that class to be rescheduled I’m not sure if the teacher will stay the same. My speech was today; the teacher had forgotten it until the very last minute. It was only a minute but it went pretty well. I’ve put together the outline of a new one for homework today. It’s about “moe”, which is described in this entry.
My results came out today. Congratulations to all my friends who made it through another semester. I got 3 A1s, an A2 and a B1. This brings my QCA just above 3.6 cumulatively. That means I get a president’s letter (I hope has plenty of stamps and my current address) and it gives me a big more rope towards getting a first class honours degree at the end.

Congratulations!
Well done!
A B1?1 You’ve some explaining to do young man. (PS Fair play to you.)
