This is the Kanji for 'before.' Plotnik is supposed to have learned 169 of these Chinese characters this semester, plus the Japanese pronunciation (bottom line) and Chinese pronunciation (second from bottom line), and the exact proper stroke order (ten little boxes in middle) one must use when writing.

To Plotnik, the Kanji for 'Before' is known as 'Two Hat Month Ri,' because it has a hat on top with two points, the Kanji for 'month' on the bottom left and the alphabetic sound of 'Ri' on the bottom right. Two Hat Month Ri equals 'before,' as is obvious to everyone in the world except for Plotnik The Great Unworthy Miserable Insect.

The Final is Monday. Plotnik is SOOOO doomed.
