This wednesday i’ll be journeying to the University of Queensland campus at St. Lucia to attend a Japanese placement interview. I requested (and… actually I’ve been approved for) Japanese 3 – which is essentially the beginning of the 3rd year of Japanese language studies at UQ. That’s all really meaningless to me and I suppose the studies I have taken part in are meaningless to the Japanese language faculty which is why I’m attending this interview to figure out if this really is the right level for me.
I haven’t really studied or prepared for it yet. I did a bit of study over the December-January New Zealand trip but, oddly enough, I haven’t found time to study now – although, that has to be an excuse because I reckon there was time for it.
Whenever I do study Japanese I surprise myself with what I already know AND how quickly I relearn stuff that i’ve forgotten. I still kinda think Japanese 3 will be the right level though… But i don’t really have my heart set on any particular level because essentially the numbers tacked on the end of the class are irrelevant – i’m more particular about being placed correctly in a way that I will be able to relearn and review a bunch of the stuff I’ve already covered as well as push on and learn more.
The week or so has been quite eventful – although the events themselves seem super lame.
I was meeting my darling Amy at a restaraunt the other day, i was running late and i had to put my shoes on, so what did i do? Put my shoes on WHILST driving! Achievement! … … *cough*
New blog design is in progress, concept #1 completed, aaaand…. scrapped. It won’t do. Onto concept #2.
Oh i also bought a hat the other day, turns out it was a girls hat – and i wear it with pride!
Met a few new people who ran into my blog, hopefully they are enjoying it – big shout out to them. Especially you Chris, my fellow gentleman who can’t breath whilst sleeping lol

Woo!! Exams are nearly over!! Just got my Japanese exam on next Thursday and then it’s chillax time till Kansai Gaidai.

The past 3 exams were good – well one was a presentation – but for all 3 i feel as though i’ve borderlined 6′s or 7′s (distinction’s or high distinction’s), so i could very well end up with 3 distinctions, or 3 high distinctions, and of course a blend of both. Who knows. As for Japanese, it depends how my study goes – but this is all theory, so i think i’ll be ok as long as i memorize my verbs – oh and kanji, but kanji is ok. Me and Kanji are tight.

So, turns out if i’ve failed my Database exam it doesn’t mean i’ve failed the subject! That is if i still get over 50% overall for the semester.

I’m doing an exam for my Game Studies class… Yeah EXAM and i’m BLOGGING. Well here’s the thing, it’s a take home exam and i’ve got 2 days to do it. Today’s the first day, and I’m hoping to knock it over today. But it’s obscenely large.
