Wimper and Bang
So the last day of school came and went. From some of the schools (mostly the elementary schools, but also one of the JHS) I got a bunch of things from the students, messages and the like. One school even gave me a gift from the teachers (which I now have to ship back home-- a Japanese tea set). Of course, one of the schools did pretty much nothing ( Read more... ) -

Which American accent do you have?
Northeastern
This could either mean an r-less NYC or Providence accent or one from Jersey which doesn't sound the same. Just because you got this result doesn't mean you don't pronounce R's.(People in Jersey don`t call their state "Joisey" in real life)

End of the Road
So I moved again. Same town, but I had to move into another apartment or my rent would have gone up again. Quite irritating, especially since this place is the shittiest of all the apartments I've lived in in Japan. But I have it for two months, and after that I won't be needing any apartments anymore. Yes, you read that right. Come the end of my ( Read more... ) -
Results are in!
So yeah. You may remember the JLPT, Japanese language proficiency test. And that I took it this past December. Wasn't too worried about it beforehand, but afterwards I was really unsure of how well I did, as it proved to be more difficult than I had expected.
Turns out I had nothing to worry about.
Got the results today. I passed level 3. In ( Read more... ) -
Back in the J
So I'm back in Japan. Went home for Christmas, came back on the 8th. Home for almost 2 weeks, which was good. Got to see many people, though not all I'd like. Also didn't get to do everything I'd liked to have done, but whatever. Met the new cat, Sammy, who looks just like Milo, but thin-- and active, all baby like. Milo was good too. He's lost a ( Read more... ) -

So Yeah. JLPT. Kanji and vocab section was a breeze. I thought the grammar and reading comp. section was a bit trickier though I don't think I did too poorly on it. The part that destroyed me, however, was the listening section. I was so not prepared to only hear the conversations once, with most of the questions and the answers both being only ( Read more... ) -
Final 2
BBC has confirmed the final 2 episodes of Doctor Who featuring the 10th doctor. Airs on Christmas and New Years. Looking forward to it.
In other news, I have the JLPT this weekend. I probably should be worried about it, but I'm not.
I would write more, but I'm also really really tired. I'll try to write more soon though. -
The latest from the land of the rising sun
So I'm updating again. Yay. Actually had to look at my previous entries to see what the last thing of substance I wrote was. And honestly, some of the crap I wanted to mention, I already did. Great. (Nanowrimo, JLPT) So that much less to talk about, I guess.
Honestly, there isn't much going on. New, at least. I'm in kind of a vegetative state since ( Read more... )
