Reflection 8

1. I learned about koto ni suru and made. Made means until, and koto ni suru is to decide to do, much like kimeru.
2. Probably learning about made. It's simple and translated well from English, so I like it.
3. Coming up with the subject for that accursed presentation. That was crazy hard since everything good was taken.
4. To actually prepare to speak the presentation without stuttering/forgetting everything/fainting/dying. I really, really don't like presentations. I don't speak well one-on-one, let alone in front of a bunch of people (and Japanese people, no less).
5. Practice. That's really about all I can do.
6. Kata. I had actually learned this when I learned the kanji (I have an awesome kanji book), but I've never really gotten the chance to use it. Kata means way, and it is combined with a verb stem to mean a way of doing. For instance, kakikata means a way of writing, so I could ask, "kono kanji no kakikata wa nan desu ka?"

My presentation topic is wedgies. A wedgie is when you grab the underwear of someone else and pull it up. Painful variations include pine cone wedgies, snow wedgies, and potato chip wedgies. Nerdy boys are often bullied in this manner.

私の発表のトピックはウエッジーです。ウエッジーはパンツをとって強く引いて。色々なウエッジーはまつかさのウエッジーや雪のウエッジーやポテトチップのウエッジーです。オタクの男子はよくウエッジーでいじめられます。
