The writing test wasn't as difficult as I thought, but then I studied for about five hours for this thing. What it was was long; about six pages worth of stuff to translate, fill in, and answer, and all in 50 minutes. Luckily, and I hate to say this, because I couldn't answer three questions I was able to finish on time. No one, and I mean no one, who took it knew what the stupid word for 'to place an order' was(it's chuumonsuru).
The koto teacher instructed us on how to play the difficult new song the internationals were given, but only the first page. Not only have I gotten through all five pages, however, but I can do it at least three times faster than she has us go. I may be awesome, or completely insensitive to Japanese music tradition. Either way, I'm good to go for the festival in three weeks.
Today was not a good day. That had nothing to do with anything at all, and was not due in any part to an outside stimulus. It was just one of the days where I want to kill everyone I see(sadly, this is not an expression or exaggeration). Good thing it calmed down before I got home huh? What did lighten my mood was learning about France and Scientology. If you haven't heard, just go to wikipedia's first page and get ready to shout hurray.

Hurray!!! Good to see consequences for those who take advantage of gullible people.
ReplyDeleteNo! No unleashing homicidal tendencies until you get back to the States, in which case I will stand foremost in line, and stare at you blankly and meow.
ReplyDeleteBecause I can.
And because you will either kill me, or stare back at me blankly until you win. Either way, the homicidal tendency will slowly wither away.
Unless you get a serious case of bloodlust upon seeing my blood spray across the floor/wall/everything. (I hope you'd at least make the homicide as messy and painful as possible)
