essay crap
i sent an email to the school's "ombudsman" (middle-man in charge of handling things if you've been treated unfairly) about that BA project proposal. i tried to explain that i think my final assignment (an F) was graded unfairly, and i gave them a copy of what i had turned in, the class grading criteria, the info we got in-class for how to complete the assignment and a screenshot of my grade. and also said that my supervisor had made some rude comments to me and other students in general during the course.
i had already sent 2 mails to the student council-whatever guys and they never responded, so i hope these other guys help intead.
my plan from here on out is:
• take different courses to get a different supervisor; graduating with a BA in Japanese in spring 2020 (my original graduation date would have been autumn 2018!)
• start getting a BA in mandarin
• ask if any of my credits in various english classes & american literature classes count towards an english degree, but my wife thinks they won't
• i'm applying for english-teaching jobs in taiwan, where you only need a 2-year degree and a TEFL certificate (which i've also gotten) in order to teach. i keep applying for jobs in japan but either get nothing back, or they've just hired someone, or they'll only hire me for part-time... entirely due to that i have no BA, or was just unlucky with timing.

Also, two: when you started studying Mandarin, I was like, oh man, he's going to be where I am in no time, and sure enough!!!! So congrats on that too, it's awesome :D I'm much better at it than Japanese, too, so if you post in Mandarin maybe I'll actually be able to read what you're saying ^^ I can recommend you the free apps I use, if you'd like?

Thanks, I'm gonna need all the practice I can get!! Right now I'm fine with just the site I'm using but I think I'll move on to apps / whatever afterwards. If you know of any site or apps where you can read manga in Chinese or something that'd be really useful too ; D
