   Lost in Translation
I'm currently obsessed with finishing the translation of the Tales of the Abyss manga I bought at the end of last year. I think I have around 20 pages left...

Translating manga - for someone who only has a Kanji dictionary, a Japanese-English dictionary, and two and a half years of experience in Japanese - is a long process, but a fun one.

At least, I think it's fun. The other day, I was working on it during my TA period, and one of my friends asked me how I could do it and "isn't it really boring?" NO!!! Translating manga is super-fun for me, but I guess that just shows how much I love Japan!

Once I finish the first Tales of the Abyss, I'm starting on Gin Tama. I know it's in Shonen Jump now, but I don't get Jump anymore and I have the first two graphic novels in Japanese, so I might as well, right?

Anyway, sorry for ranting! Enjoy the art I put up, and please hope I feel better! I'm sore all over from dancing - choreography for the musical - for three hours straight on Friday.

Bye bye!
