抜群 (batsugun)。

Learned a neat new word today from 習字の先生： 抜群, batsugun. 先生 translated it as "outside the flock/pack"—羊 is hitsuji, "sheep"—and she says it's used pretty often in Japan.

Today we reviewed kana る　の　お　く　や　ま　and moved on to け　ふ　く　え　て　あ. Then kanji: I'm still working on 景雲飛 in sousho (草書).　C——さん is working on 亀龍壽, which I think must be much trickier than my 景雲飛.
