Well, to put it bluntly it didn't go that well. Although I'm sure I should have been able to fit it in if I had enough time, I never seemed to get around to my shadowing exercises. I always put it off to the next day or did some other homework instead. In the end, I only did shadowing twice, and neither time for as long as I had hoped. I did manage to go to language table twice though. I think for the next cycle, instead of saying "I will practice shadowing three times a week," I will be more specific. "I will practice shadowing on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday" for example.
As for my oral exam, I honestly have no clue how I did overall. I was so focused on getting the right words out that I didn't even try to get the correct accent, but on the other hand, my speed, if not as fast as in recordings I've heard, was at least regular and didn't drag. As for the gramatical usage, I don't think Peng and I used the past tense enough overall. We probably should have tried to include a few extra sentences relating to the past. Finally, I had no clue when to use the particles ね and よ.
