Well, I’m in Japan now… And I’ve been studying, err…. yeah ![]()
I actually have been, for real. And I’m actually not that worried, the only parts I am worried about is the interview, and math.
My Japanese listening skills have always been great, my dad talks to me in Japanese, and I respond in English. So I have no problem understanding it, even if they’re talking really fast in different dialects. I do however, have a slight problem with speaking. My speach mixes up polite form and casual form, and some of my grammer isn’t too good. So I’ll be practicing ’speaking’ with my grandmother until the test.
As for math, I understand what to do for the problems, no where as hard as I anticipated they would be… whew. However, using calculators is against the rules….. eek, they like spoil us in America, we can use calculators whenever we want, during any type of test. I used to be awsome in math, actually that used to be my best subject. But with calculators around every corner, doing calculations without one is now pretty slow. I mean, I can do it, and I’m okay at it, but it’s not the fastest way to finish the problems, and I do have a 50 minute time limit… then there’s the 50 minute essay ![]()
Well, um… I guess that’s all for now…
Thanks Aki for the…. what is it called, I totally blanked on the word… Ah, I think I’m trying to say thanks for the word of support ![]()
