Holla to the yes.
Its been a while. So.
Haii you gaiizzz.
Just this excited to be here.
So I've been applying for a year in Japan, I was going to post this earlier but I was- no actually still am- terrified of jinxing it.
ok im almost certain i cant make this under the cut thing work, so deal with my 'holla, whats she saying' lol...
I applied in november and luckily got an interview in January, there was 2 other people applying for the same spot but i got put foward for the application for Waseda University. yayyss.
So anyway, I have been busy doing all of this, I had to write a study plan in Japanese (im sure not very well) and today I had a Japanese proficiency test. The lady I went to see was really nice and seemed surprised that I knew any kanji having studied mostly by myself. I had to do a reading excercise which was ok- though i temporarily forgot what a kekimise (cake shop y'all) was, (despite having just watched zettai kareshi lol). The speaking part was um.. interesting. I did that fantastic thing of being able to understand what she was saying but being unable to think of anything interesting to respond with, so it came out kind of mumbled. nice. still, i think it was all ok but this has made me realise i really need to find someone to practice speaking Japanese with, not everyone is going to be as patient haha. Im just pleased I didnt freeze up, and it got easier as she asked more questions.
Has anyone else had problems with this? I get moments when I wonder what the hell I'm thinking, going to another country for a year, but this is something I have been wanting to do for so long and I am always working towards, so I just remind myself of that when I get anxious.
Anyway, back to my Orientalism essay. Just thought I would see how you all are and the like.
Love to your mothers
