Back into the swing

Today was enrolment day at Goldsmiths, so I went in
to sign up for Japanese 2.
Full of confidence, fair bouncing into the building, the memory of my solid exam result last year still fresh. Then in came Junko-san, the year 2 teacher, and hit me with the Japanese end of a conversation. Bam! She may as well have been Jonah Lomu flooring me head-on. I couldn't even give a coherent reply to お元気ですか.
Well, I suppose that's at least reminded me just how important these classes are for me. Vocab lists and films are all well and good, but they've not stopped the speaking bits of my brain from atrophying.
As I told Junko-san, I need classes!
