No worries. Yea, to be honest, I thought you must be overwhelmed with uni stuff so you prolly didnt have time or something. But then I suddenly got curious as to what you were up to lol. Oh, you're in your final year of uni? あと少しだから頑張れ =D

Yea Ive moved already. I'm still with my parent, and will be for a while longer. Training hasn't started yet. I decided to move the starting date cos of the moving houses thing. But that was a bad mistake. The training's only 3 weeks, so I shouldve just did that and get it over with. Now I have to go to it starting on 18th this month. And it's in the middle of winter too >.> I hate waking up early in winter =/ And of course, as someone with anxiety issues, I've been worried over the thing since last month even though there's still a week until it actually starts lol. It's something that I've never touched on before, in my entire life. And I cant say I'm used to being in a socially active place. Im just hoping I dont end up getting scared like Satou from NHK and run away again like last year =/

But yea, the new house is nice. Neighbors are nice people, at least for now lol. And that's coming from someone with insecurity issues rofl. But yes, at least there arent anymore of those loud music pricks anymore. I just lost 1 reason to buy headphones hahaha. Nah, we moved cos I wanted to cut down the mortgage my parent has on the old house. Cos in the worst case scenario he can't work anymore to pay it off, naturally I would have to take over responsibilities. Being a hikikomori, 300k debt isnt exactly a nice thing to have.

I'm losing a lot of my japanese skills bit by bit lol. Cos now it's merely for entertainment. Allow me to brag, I can still say I'm the best in class even until now though hahaha. But definitely wont be taking anymore JLPTs now. At least until I get back to Japanese studies, if I even do go back to it.

Just so you know, I completely understand if there's no reply from you, cos I know how overwhelming uni crap are. So you dont have to feel bad or anything (in case you did ;D).

Hey, been a long time since you haven't been on. Just wondering how you're doing.

Hey :D
I had to move houses on the weekends so I'm really really tired. I postponed my job training so I can move in peace. Sorry for the late reply btw, I don't have internet for now, so i'm using my phone's net, which is limited, and i've only managed to touch my phone now.

I really doubt I'll be doing N2, cos I'm content with what I have now lol. I've enough knowledge to understand manga raw and get 90% of anime's dialogues and songs' lyrics.

But i'm definitely gonna at least give that job training a try. As nice as living as a hikki is, i've had enough of being dependent on my parents.

Did you end up doing that 600 dollar job?

Nah, oregairu is always awesome, both in anime or novel. It'a judt that i,dont have enoughp patience reading word by word. And since reading takes longer than watching, usually in the middle of the way i woukd start thinking 'i could use this time to do better things than reading', so my mind would start wandering off somewhere and then i'd lose concentration and in the end i'd lose interest alltogether lol.

I'm hoping forklifting isn't hard i hope it really is just using the machine, cos i can't lift heavy things. I'm really weak compared to other people lol. If it's just operating the machine, it shouldn't be that hard i think.....i hope lol

I've decided that since i won't work on weekends, i'll use that time to watch anime or read manga. That way i'll still be familiar with japanese. And in weekdays, when i go home, i'll probably still read manga or if i have time, watch anime anyway, so i think i'll still be exposed to the language quite a lot. Not to mention i only listen to japanese music, so that's more exposure.

Yea, i watched the ova. And yes, i really can't wait for 3rd season ;D my focus is on ayano lol. I'm surprised it even got a 3rd season cos it seems like a normal anime...but it just means it's that good then.

No worries man. Starting April I'll also be busy as fuck. That first step out of hikikomori life is gonna feel like dying >.> so after going to job training, I'll prolly drop dead as soon as I reach my bed.

For some reason, I just can't get into novels/light novels/visual novels anymore. I can understand and read the words about 80% of it, but I've never even finished a whole book lol. I tried reading Oregairu novel in Japanese. I can understand just fine, but I just can't get 'sucked' into it, if you know what I mean. Dropped it after 2-3 chapters.
Now, I'm even starting to lose interest in anime a tiny bit. I just feel like earning money so I can get my life and family's life sorted.

I'm planning on doing forklift jobs first. Then, if I could muster up my courage, I might try other vehicles like bobcat/bulldozer/excavator etc, but I can't say anything at this point. I might even just stick with forklift and work my way up. Either that or I might try learning how to do cleaning services. Weirdly enough, forklift jobs, cleaning services jobs, beginner teacher, and translators have almost roughly the same wage rofl.

Lol, I also learned english from novels back in 8th-10th grade hahaha. And then when I started learning Japanese, my english level dropped so low, that there was a time I couldn't speak properly with people, though there was also the factor that I have social phobia.

I think 600$ per month is still better than nothing. And it'll definitely serve as a first step towards a bigger-wage job and you can even put it in your job record history. Hopefully it works out well for you.

One thing I hope for is, I don't lose all the Japanese knowledge I've gotten up to this point, when I do forklifting later. That feeling of losing your knowledge bit by bit, and then at the end realize that you used to know at least 2000 kanji, now you only know roughly 400, is just plain sickening. It's happened once, and I don't want it happening a second time >.>

i was really shocked i got 2 100%s too. i knew im gonna get a good mark at vocab/grammar but didnt expect 60/60 at all rofl. and for listening, i actually spaced out for 2 questions and guessed the bloody thing. and i turn out getting 60/60 lol. surprise surprise hahaha

the reading is also shocking too, but in a bad way. i was sure i read everything perfectly and understood it well, but 47/60 is just nasty. i still got 92% total overall but still......

not sure what to do for this year or next year. i dropped my japanese course cos i want to break this vicious cycle called hikikomori and NEET and find work now. doing the japanese courses is starting to feel more like a chore than fun. to begin with, i started japanese cos it was fun, and useful to read manga/understand anime better cos that way i get 100% content and no content lost in translations. i'm just hoping that, since now i dont have to force myself to study, and if i do get some work, i dont lose any of my japanese knowledge. it happened once, i knew 1400 kanji before and i tried to study architecture again....my kanji dropped to at max 200 words. i still cant say anything now, but if i cant get any work, then i might continue the japanese study =P

if i feel like taking jlpt again, i think i'll stick to n2 after all. n1 is newspaper level, if i'm not wrong. i can't even read light novels fully yet, let alone newspaper.

Yo. Just wanted to say that my results came in. I got 60/60 for Vocab/Grammar, 47/60 for reading (Fuck!), 60/60 for listening. Total score 167/180.

yea i have a password i cant use. i think i was asked to make my own password when i applied for the test, but i didnt read the rules lol, so i put in letters as well. where in reality, apparently you're supposed to use numbers only. I dont understand how in the 1st place my password got accepted since it has letters and more than 8digits.

but yea, just gonna wait for march. im in no rush afterall~

It turns out that I dont have the password so to see results cos I have letters in my password. So I have to wait until march to get my crap (certs, scores) from JLPT to be sent home.

Thanks for the link. It'll me get familiar with new vocabs =D

Is this the link to check results? http://www.jlpt.jp/e/guideline/results_online.html
The one for 'other countries' kept on being greyed. It's already 29 Jan afternoon both Australia and Japan..Either way they'll send a certificate in March to my home so if I don't know now, then I'll know then lol

yea i joined the other day

Lol if it's according to what I think, then it's not going to turn out good. My pessimism is making me think I'm gonna fail that test bad >.> and your 31/60 reading is making me think 'oh shit, what am I gonna get for mine". There's also the fact that I used to know this guy who has a Japanese wife for several years, even at that time. He did N2 and he failed, and that literally made me think 'wtf? shouldnt you be good at it since you can speak or at least practice with your wife'. Either he's just not good at it or jlpt is just that hard. Either way I'm gonna risk it and go N2 in December ;D

I was looking for some vocab books for N2, but I also read this review that said to just keep reading raw stuff like manga, novels, anime. Who knows, maybe midyear I might look for 1 after all.

Can't wait to get to N1. Gonna use the result from that to boost my translator qualifications :3 I'm so glad this stuff is accepted internationally rofl

You passed N2? Holy shit, congrats (*^▽^)/

I was trying to check it online too, but I don't know how lol
But I checked just then, it turns out that for Australia, online results are out in 2-3 days. Guess I'll see =/

is that your favorite digimon?

おいっす。あけおめ～　今年もよろぴく！
