Honestly, I didn’t do the best in Japanese. I didn’t pay attention and fooled around with my friend a lot. If I were to do something different, it would be to have better time management.

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning is particles. There are so much particles and it was such a pain in the neck to learn them all. So far, I know O, wa, ga to, no, ne, yo, and a lot more.

When faced with ambiguity or setbacks, I just walk it off to advance my development of ideas. It doesn’t matter to me what type of setbacks I face. In the end, I need to finish what I do and follow through.

My long term goal is to improve my time managment and pay attention in my class. If I manage to get those down, I think I would be able to have an average of high Bs/As.

I will take Japanese 11 for the sole reason of graduating with a language course so I have a better chance of getting into college.

If I were to tell my past self something, is that writing and reading is the best way to learn the alphabet. Memorizing isn’t the best way and you’re just overloading your brain. If I had taken my time and read and write, I would’ve learned hiragana so much faster.

I don’t really believe in horoscopes or blood type personality test. I’m pretty sure my blood type is A-B negative and in Japanese blood personality test, A-B blood types have a “hybrid” of a personality. My personality is pretty straight forward and I think horoscopes are BS.

I’ve been judged by those people who base their whole personality about Zodiac signs. They said I act the way I act because I’m a “Libra.” I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean but I feel like I’m getting judged. It feels disappointing to be judged by them astrology people. Not disappointed in myself, but the people who believe in it.

I think people believe in fortune telling because they have the Barnum effect and they think it’s going to happen because they have no sense of direction or guidance of where they are going in the world so they cling on something so vague, they can picture something else to fit the description.

The only thing I believe in that seems slightly superstitious is karma. I do believe in Karma not because of pure luck, because the people around you will act accordingly on the way you act. If you act like a good person, people will treat you well. if you do something bad, people will treat you bad.

Tofu Kozo

I chose the Tofu Kozo because it caught my eye when I was looking for one. I have no other reason why I chose it.

A lot of unique features vary between picture to picture but what is common is that it always has a bamboo, has a tray with tofu on it, its tongue sticks out, and wears a Yukata. The one I picked has one eye and has some facial features like whiskers. The Tofu Kozo does not have any powers and is not harmful. It goes around a town bringing Tofu and Sake.

I don’t fully believe in Yokai or monsters in general but I think it was the distortion of vision. I do believe in some mythical creatures but I feel like they could just be misconceptions of other things.
