2 kanji for Friday 6th October 06: 夏 ＆ 夕

Although I had my heart set of taking the level 3 exams, I don't believe that I can reach a high enough standard in the time given. I was thinking of going for level 4, but believe that to be somewhat of a backwards step and a waste of money.I shall continue to study - and of course update 2kanjiadayーーーーーーーーーー夏SUMMERカ，ゲなつーーーーーーーーーー夏休みなつ・やす・み summer holiday夏時間なつ・じ・かん summer time, daylight savings timeーーーーーーーーーー夕EVENINGセキevening, duskゆうーーーーーーーーーー夕方ゆう・かた evening夕飯ゆう・はん evening meal七夕たな・ばた Star festival
