FINALLY!!
Yes! I finally got my results from the jlpt!!! HURRAY!!!
As for the score... well, I should make clear I'm not proud of them XDDD I guess I can't ask for much, 'cause I didn't study as I should (maybe except for kanji, and that part wasn't even that hard or long _._) but then again, they are very poor...
Writing/Vocab: 79/100
Listening: 83/100
Grammar/Reading: 153/200

Total: 315/400
_0_ Ah mou!!! I will allow myself to say that I felt kind of awful during the actual test (remember that nasty cold I got? I was coughing during ALL the test and during listening, the part I'm ACTUALLY good at I couldn't hear a thing thanks to my constant coughing XDDDDD people where looking at me so mean!!) but I tried my best and I passed (thou, I don't know how the grading goes) so... I'm gonna stop whinning.
When I got to get my results there was NO ONE in that stupid embassy T_T so no ikemen around to oogle at while Mr. Maximo (part of the cultural staff) took his sweet time PRINTING my results XDDDDD it's actually a funny story 'cause the results are supposed to be very official looking as they show to the world you proficiency but... Venezuela's very special and our test didn't count for NOTHING because we didn't after the official day (darn you, stupid politics!) so... they told me how they did this awesome diploma for those who passed... and it so was NOT an awesome diploma XDDDDD they just printed the results on a fancy paper, that's it!!!! I almost laughed but again, Kawamoto-san, the head of the cultural department and the funniest and most adorable middle age japanese I have EVER knowed came out to give to me *3* AWWW! the chatted for a bit in japanese and then he became all serious and told in spanish (may I tell that his spanish is awful and he never speaks it unless is very important XD that was a surprise...)
- Well, you're going to take 2kyu this year, right?
Patricia laughes an looks from her poor score to Kawamoto-san
- Oh, I can't... I'm taking another language proficiency test this year (a.k.a IELTS) so I'll take it next year!!!
- Oh, I see... - Kawamoto-san looks at me funny and very serious, Patricia gets scared- Well, after you take the 2kyu you are going to apply for the scholarship, AREN'T YOU?!!!!!!!!!
- o.0 Of cooooourse!!!
And so it went XD I don't know why, but since I won the japanese speech contest and didn't get enough score on the japanese test to get the top prize (two weeks in Japan) I think he's a little mad at me for wasting my "abilities"? Because, actually, I can't get the undergraduate scholarship anymore because of the age limit, and I'm thinking of getting my postgraduate major in England *0* (thus me taking a "fake" IELTS this year, see how hard it is) in Easter Asian Studies... maybe I'll get my major in japanese linguistics or keep it simple and in japanese language and culture!! Doesn't it sound really pretty?!!!
GANBATTE PATRICIA!!! KEEP FIGHTING PATRICIA!!! NEVER SAY DIE PATRICIA!!!
FIGHT-O!!!!!!
