It's all about time management and how good you are with it.

I don't play much during the academic year but I still get a good amount of time in... And I have 25 units of class, 3 jobs (30~ish a week) and my 2 fraternities...

It's possible =]

I guess I'm a bit over the top with my studies, I try to make all of my essays, etc, as perfect as I can. Not sure if I could handle all of the stuff you do though :O Haha.

I do college and CS:S at the same time, even if it's only 10 hours a week or something. ;P

You doing alright in college?

I've been pulling A's and B's since I started back a couple of years ago. Study always comes first, but I have to take a break from those studies every hour or two. When I do, I go play some CS or something (CS is great cause you can always say, play 2 maps, go back and study) and then I go back and study. I know some people don't have the will power to do that, but it's not that hard for me to do.

One term I was juggling math, Japanese II, and American Civ. and managed to still have some time for CS, even though there were nights I didn't sleep because of homework. XD

Hahaha, nice. Maybe I'm more easily distracted than you? I can imagine wasting a lot of time playing css when I don't have time to waste! Japanese? Ooo, hard?

How many words per essay? Even 500 words per essay sounds like a pretty epic effort haha

Haha, I suck at math (except statistics).

Essays were 5-10 pages -.<

The Japanese language really isn't that hard in some ways. It's a very structured language and easy to pronounce in general (speaking a certain dialect can be kinda difficult to learn though).

What's difficult about it foremost is the written system. They use two phonetic alphabets called kana and Chinese characters called kanji. The alphabets aren't hard to learn, just takes some time. The kanji though, ugh. 1000 characters at least to fairly literate; 2000 to be high school literate. Those characters almost always have at least 2-3 different ways of being pronounced as well. So that's a bitch to learn.

Kanji aside, "counters" are difficult to memorize. Since Japanese doesn't use plurals, they refer to things in quantities. The only way I can describe this is like stacking "3 sticks of gum" in English. You don't ever say 3 gums, you say sticks. Sticks would be a counter. They have a ton of these for all sorts of things like flat paper-like objects, cylindrical objects, etc.

Other than that, Japanese isn't too bad. Honestly, I'd find it hard to learn most other languages out there. Japanese pronunciation is so straight forward it makes that part easy.

Wow. So you're one of those guys that can get through essays really fast  :o (I can't really do that)
Were they detailed, or rushed?

You made a lot of sense really, the writing forms seem like they would take effort to get used to, oh, and the linguistic differences between languages can be really interesting.. Ever thought of visiting Japan?
