2nd Semester PE Goals

It's a new semester, which means it's time for new PE goals! 

What do I want to achieve this semester?

1. Pitch, pitch, pitch
I continue to struggle with pitch when speaking. Whenever we do pitch exercises in class, I have a hard time distinguishing the differences between rising and falling pitches, so it's something I definitely still have a lot to improve on. 

2. Speaking naturally
Aside from pitch, I would like to speak at a more natural pace. I still continue to stumble over my words, and I take my time in trying to form grammatically correct sentences when speaking. I'm afraid of making mistakes, so I need to find a way of getting over this fear. 

How will I focus on these goals?

1. I will try to attend office hours at least every other week. Last semester I may have gone only once, and I was supposed to go back, but I didn't. This semester I hope to change that. 

2. I will also try to watch at least one episode of an anime every week. I don't really have time or much interest in watching anime, but I need to improve my listening abilities as well. Hopefully this will help in improving my pitch as well. 

3. I hope to practice Japanese with friends. Perhaps that will be at language table, or just casually with other friends who speak Japanese. 

私の中休み

中休みにうちにかえりました。うちでははと新しいえいがをみて、友だちとあって、私の高校に行きました。しゅくだいがないので、とてもよっかたです。そして、友だちとかんこくのレストランにいきました。このレストランで、ラーメンをちゅうもんしました。ラーメンはしょっぱくておいしですが、ちょっとからかったです。友だちはトンカツをにしました。でも、友だちの中休みの方がたのしかったです。ヨーロッパに行きマスタ。私もりょこしたいですたが、お金がありませんですた。
