Failed

I failed the test... by 7 marks! 1.5% off passing. Oh, well! I shall have to do some work for the next one. James, the jammy git, got 73%, which he reckons he guessed his way to. I think he also did a little work, which may explain it.

I have a new resolve to study harder and become great at Japanese. I think speaking skills are what I can gain most from being here as anyone can study kanji and vocabulary from their room in any country. I spoke to Nozomi tonight for a while, mostly in Japanese. It was good practice I think. I just need to do it more often and with different people.

Thank you also to the Floras, who sent me a birthday card that I received today. I'm also a little worried that my job offer has yet to arrive. I hope I didn't put the wrong address down...
