The kanji kentei steps book provided my first level 6 四字熟語 (4-character idiomatic compound) this morning. It is this: 温故知新 (on-ko-chi-shin), or when translated character for word, 'stupid deceased, wisdom new'. It's the equivalent of 'learn from the past', which I find kind of funny considering my long angsting - and possibly self-pitying - thing of not too long ago. I should ask the Japanese teacher if I can borrow a brush and write it to hang over my bed. Maybe I'd keep the lesson in mind.

(Why yes, I am studying kanji at work. I feel so smrt when I do it, which is a nice change from my usual. Anyway, there's not much else to do - the kids are all in tests so I don't have class.)
