Owari

I bit the bullet, swallowed my guilt and shame, and quit my Japanese class. Last week’s lesson had me near tears; I just wasn’t getting the finer points of wake. Why put myself through that any longer?

So I wrote a note to Oyama sensei, explaining that I needed to take a break and maybe after a while I’d be able to to return to language study with a fresh enthusiasm (not bloody likely, really).

And this morning I got this reply (translated from her Japanese original, of course)

Dear Kristen. I received your mail. I’m very sad and it’s such a shame but it can’t be helped. Take a little break.

Thanks, Oyama sensei. For all your good instruction and for being so understanding.
