I just finished my application for an internship at the Department of State. I'm not going to know anything until August if I get it and if I don't get it then I won't know until October. So for now it's the waiting game. I'll try to ignore it and not think about it, but I'm not really sure how successful I'll be, lol. I really want it, but I tend to constantly lower my expectations so that I don't get crushed.
I have to take the JLPT this Sunday. I've been studying for the past couple of days, but I sort of feel like I'll fail it again. Whatever. I talk in Japanese 95% of the time, I'm studying in my classes and doing additional side studying. If I fail then I just take it again in December and buckle down and study sooner than a week before the actual exam. Oh well, if I am any improvement over last time, then I might actually pass it. As last time I didn't study almost at all and then missed passing by 14 points. If I look at it from the perspective that anything I learn now is possible to hurl me over that 14 point barrier, then at least I'm learning. Although since this is the new test I sort of feel like it's going to be harder....fuan.
So since I finished my application for the internship I am going to spend the rest of the day studying....at least that's the plan.
