Well That Was a Hell of a Thing

[mousapelli]

I'm back home safe from DC, and exhausted, despite the fact that really not much happened this weekend? Tomorrow's going to be an interesting day in Latin class.

JLPTは, I was glad I shot for the 4. The writing/reading part was totally fine, the grammar part was a touch challenging but still inherently all reading, so I took some educated guesses and I think it'll turn out okay. The listening section was a trainwreck, ahahahaha. They should ask you more than one question! I would always know a bunch of random stuff and then miss the crucial item. And when we got to the second part of it where there weren't even pictures, and they read you all the answers too...let's just say it was not pretty.

I chatted with the people around me in between sections, and the guy next to me was particularly funny. After the listening he was like "dou desu ka?" and i answered "DAME YO", and then after the grammar i asked him "dou desu ka?" and he was like "...chotto..."

also there were tiny children in my test, which didn't make me feel particularly smart. the one kid beside me was seriously adorable, with glasses, and his dad kept coming in and out before the test started, checking on him, until he was like "SERIOUSLY STOP, DAD." There was another kid over a few rows that was like a tiny Casey Anderson. KAWAII YO. Also there was a cute guy who was wearing a shirt with big pink flowers on it, who made me a puff star out of the strip that's left over after you tear out all your answer sheets. aw, JLPT crush ♥

Hope everybody else who took it did well! Or at least better than me on the listening.

Started Re:Chain of Memories tonight and played through the first floor. Already in love with Axel again. also, PINK FLOWER PETALS. There was flail. Some of it was mine and some of it was Sora's, but FLAIL.

OMG I know how you feel... I did level 3 yesterday.

The listening bit was sooo annoying... though some of the pictures were very very cute. There was one with a little boy wearing a shirt with a cat on it and one with a little boy holding a cat plushie so me and my friend were all "That one's Shige and that one is Kei-chan".

Not so many tiny children at my test though... probably because it was so terribly confusing to apply for. I had to go all the was to the other side of the city and find this tiny little Japanese school that seemed to be set up in a shack.

Also lol at your guy with the flower shirt... I made a puff star as well XP

I'm sure you did very well!! :) When do you hear about results?

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

NOT UNTIL MARCH. that is crap yo.

I think I will manage despite the utter fail of that one section, but I am glad I only went for the 4.

Count yourself lucky. I don't know if I even get an interview with JET until January, and then I won't know if I'm IN until April.

Psh! I bet you did brilliant.

Scenario-

Test-Scoring-Person 1: "Holy crap!"
Test-Scoring-Person 2: "What!?"
Test-Scoring-Person 1: "This Score!"
Test-Scoring-Person 2: "That bad, huh? *snicker snort*"
Test-Scoring-Person 1: "NO! *hands over paper* I didn't know you could even score that high!"
Test-Scoring-Person 2: *le faint*

LoL, i will guarantee you that will not happen. but they may ask "how can this person know all these weird grammar things and then not be able to listen to sections about people losing their keys?"

.....

They had a section about people losing their keys?

OMG THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE MY MOTHER IN JAPAN!
