Reading Challange: Day 2 week 2

What a week!
I´m currently in Brazil visiting my family after 14 years.

I thought that I´d have plenty of time here to sit back and read.

I brought all of my Hiragana Times magazines.
I thought wrong.
I´m used to a quiet home but here it´s full of life, (not to mention noise).

My family wants my attention every second of the day.
And when their not I´m taking a nap.

I love that here everyone takes naps.

Of course I´m putting my family first.
I´m enjoying spending time with each of them,
but I alo realize that 2 weeks without ANY Japanese will hurt my progress greatly.

My family loves to watch novelas.
So I take the chance to read.
There was some topics I read about in the magazine.

Sign Language
There is a musical playing Tokyo that is using Japanese sign language.
I thought it really cool that they´re making more entertainment for a different demograph.

Exhibitions, babysitting, kimono book, baseball

I read it for practice but I wasnt interested in it.

Little Star

There was an article about a growing star named Ashida Mana.

It was interesting because she seems mature for her age.

I want to watch the shows she´s been in now.

Joshikai

I really dont understand this phenomenon.

Its basically women hanging out, eating, shopping, and chatting without men around.

Its a boom these days and women seem to be happy without the company of men.

Um... women have always hung out together. So why do they act like it´s something new...

Someone please explain it to me.ta

I think it´s just companies trying make something up to make more money.

i.e valentine´s day

I sadly don´t have a dictionary with me, so I can´t look up the words I´m reading.

I can´t have the interent on all day either. I think i´m missing out alot because of this.

I´ve been taking my time reading each sentence.

Pausing at particles, because I tend to fly through without much thought.

Now I´m paying attention to each part I read.

I´ve also noted sentences that end with a noun. A grammar point I´ve been studying in

my lessons.

I´ve also payed attention to easy phrases made more complicated.

I read 9 pages, but one was too short so I will count it as 0.1.

9=4.1pts. 3+4.1=7.1 pts in total.
