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.

Wow… that was unexpected… Yesterday i was in a Games Production lecture, sitting next to Mitch (who wasn’t supposed to be in the lecture).  It was pretty funny, because it’s our last week, and Mitch doesn’t do Games Production, so he was just being loud and obnoxious – it was great Yeah then all of a sudden, his phone goes off! Phone call… turns out it was the peeps down at International Services trying to organise a time for Mitch to come in for an Interview!!! YAY!  So his interview was that afternoon.
