I freaking hate kanji. HATE HATE HATE IT. What is the damn point of having some stupid 18-stroke THING for a letter when you could just use the damn alphabet and save a whole hell of a lot of time and frustration? I GOT ONE DAMN STROKE out of place and I got the entire freaking sentence wrong and LOST FIVE DAMN POINTS because of it. And of course, my teacher tells me that the point of this class would to get the kanji perfect. WHAT THE HELL. My TUTOR still has to look up kanji in the dictionary because she forgets them or parts of them. HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET THIS CRAP PERFECT WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN MY FREAKING LANGUAGE? That bothers me more than the kanji itself. DAMMIT does this happen when Japanese students who are studying English misspell a word? I don't imagine so, since English spelling is a damn pain in the ass, even for native speakers, so WHY THE HELL IS IT NOT THE SAME FOR THESE STUPID LETTERS!! And damn the fact that they can all be pronounced ten different ways! ARRRRRRRGH! My jissen grade is suffering thanks to those damn "memorize these 20 kanji for the quiz tomorrow" things. And it is a very good thing that my kanji class doesn't count for anything because I'm failing it. ::howls::
