Fail!

Kinda depressing today, results from the mock JLPT Level 2 exams came by and I absolutely, horribly failed. But of course, they haven't included the points from the listening tests yet, and that's where I usually salvage my scores (I got 89% from the listening exams last time).

Not to be depressed, I immediately sought out the unimaginable and limitless powers of the Internet. And I was not disappointed. To say the least, I bounced back to my normal genki-ness in no time. I probably gained a few more years to my life after laughing this much.

And thus I present to you, Objets d'Laughing Matter:


I don't think they need captions. Do they?

I laughed years off of me and almost threw up! Amazingly, I still am intact, alive and well. I do hope I have managed to bring at least a smile, or a blink if you can manage.

Whew! Okay, I am fine now. And I think that hot bowl of honey hazelnut oatmeal helped a lot too. Yum!

Wow....Level 2! I wonder if I'll ever reach that point! I'm actually loving studying out of the guides to get me geared up for the Level 4 test. How does that work, anyway? Do you actually go and sign up for whatever level you're shooting for and that's all you're tested on? How did you get a "mock" test, btw? Was it your own self-test or an official one...and when do you take the real thing? Was it December 5th that I heard? I'm really on to the JLPT now! ^_^ If you're up to Level 2, your Japanese skill must be awesome!!! Omedetou!

Great to know you're taking the test too! I think Level 4 will be soooo easy for you. You seem to have such an awesome grasp of the Japanese language already!

Yes, you apply for what level you want to take, then you pay the fee, then the test voucher will arrive, then you wait for the exams day...

And my company hired a private tutor for me. They had planned to advance my JLPT 3 to a 2 within six months. As of now, I'm not sure I'm ready yet, but why should my opinion matter anyway? It's their money. LOL.
