(no subject)

How is it that being cut from the friends list of someone you really like actually hurts? I mean, come on, it's just a journal, right? *cries*

In other news, I failed my Japanese quiz hard today. I just can't seem to wrap my brain around some of the concepts. I still don't really know what the difference between 'ga' and 'wa' is. And placement... oh, lord. I'm surprised I haven't failed yet.

Well, I stil have two months in which to fail horribly, so here's looking forward to that. ;_;

I need to buy myself a kanji dictionary. And settle down to some serious memorization.

Oh, yes, that does make sense! ♥

As for the particles, I guess I just don't understand how they change the sentence. And that sounds really dumb. Gah. Like, I know what they're *supposed* to do. I know that 'wa' is a subject signifier and that 'no' is a possessive and 'ni' signifies.. direction? (I don't have my notes with me so I'm guessing on that one. ^^;; ) I'm just, sadly, not very good at creating sentences in Japanese. ;_;

*LOVE*

I suck at kana in general. But I'm getting better!

'ni' is more of a location than a direction.

Watashi no neko wa kono heya ni imasu. 'ni' is indicating that my cat is in the room.

Watshi wa daigaku (h)e ikimasu. 'he' or 'e' denotes direction. I'm going to the university.

In short, NI is for location (the object/subject isn't moving) and HE is for direction (movement towards another location)
