Exam number 1. My first exam is today over oral Japanese. i was up all night going over the sentences that we had to know and recite in Japanese. I've never been so nervous in my life as when I sat down in my chair. My sensei reordered each of the four students separately  and then we all did a written section where we had to listen to a question in Japanese and then write the answer in Japanese or listen to a dialogue and write what we heard.

After the exam I was ready to just go home and collapse somewhere but I had my N5 class directly after it. We have started covering adjectives. Once the teacher asked me to make a sentence with the word きれいな (kireina) which means pretty or clean.  I said, キムさんのへやはきれいじゃありませんでした。(Kim's room was not clean). Kim was sitting right next to me and she was not happy to hear my declaration.
