I feel good~ Nana nana nana naa~ *dances* After a long time of being bummed, this has got to be one of the best Fridays yet!

• Results of the JLPT 2 (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) mock exam came back; I didn't pass, yet my sensei said I improved a whopping 130%!
• Last night a representative from my company came by and told me that my pay will be a day late, and to compensate for such inconvenience, gave me a salary advance! Woot.
  
• After scourging bookstores everywhere in search of a JLPT 2 application form (which were all sold out, they said), I found out that there's a bookstore right inside my office building; one that still has a form available! I bought one a while ago, at last!
  
• I found a wonderful book (same store) about Japan's monsters and ghastly myths, and it's in English! Wow, it had a bargain price too! Of course, I snatched it right away... can't wait to read it on the train ride home!
• And to top it all off, I'm now munching on some Pocky sticks and gulping down a cup of my fave iced milk tea.
• Oh, and tomorrow's a Saturday. The best of them lot yet!

Ahh.... Absolute and total bliss~

Two Down, Two to Go~

Today marks the 2nd Friday of March! I only have two Fridays left before I leave my current company. Even my coworkers sense my anxiousness each day the end draws near... *dun dun dun* (~__~);;

Actually, I've received the instructions on how to go about completing my clearance with the company only yesterday. So now I'm swamped with tons of paperworks and requirements to process and most of the day is spent sending e-mails to every department... I'm not even achieving 1/4 of what's to be done (I even had to tell some guy from the Stock Exchange just to say that I'm not a shareholder of my company... whew).

But I still have a couple of weeks or so to finish these all up, so I'm not that much pressured. With each task cleared, I can feel the grip the company has on me loosening up. This is just another obstacle to pass before I can rejoice in my inevitable victory. Bwahahaha~

Oh, and my officemates have decided to just have some food delivered rather than going out to eat at some fastfood place. Remember my previous post about February's Feast? That's what we're going to order. My esophagus is vibrating just thinking of all that yumminess...

One Down, Three to Go~

Today marks the 1st of the four Fridays before my resignation becomes effective. The other Fridays are in the 14th, 21st, and the 28th. I'm thinking of putting a countdown counter in my sidebar... I'll work on that later.

I sort of promised my coworkers that I'll treat them to a despedida/farewell dinner that day. I told them I could probably scrounge up a $30 budget and treat them at a nearby Wendy's joint, but that they'll have to pay to upsize their drinks and fries to 'Biggie'. It doesn't sound much, but it's a place where we can bring our own version of noise and laugh ourselves hoarse.

I still can't decide if I should order a Bacon Mushroom Melt (hot and juicy beef, bacon and mushrooms in a warm cheddar cheese sauce on a bun) or a Spicy Chicken Sandwich (spicy chicken fillet, mayonnaise, tomato and lettuce on a kaiser roll). Add a Biggie size french fries and a gallon of rootbeer and you'll get an unhealthy, penny-less Megane~kun.

They did promise that they'll buy me a gift for remembrance. I guess it'd all be worth it~

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

EDIT: I added 3 countdown timers in my side bar/column!

• March 28 - my resignation gets official
• April 7 - my Intensive Nihongo Course classes starts
• September 13 - my birthday!

Now I'll just to wait for our scheduled flight to Japan to be announced and I'll add it in too! Woo~
