Oh so that's what it feels like to take a test!

I had completely forgotten. It's been...what five years now, going on six since the last time I had to write an exam. You forget all about the night before nerves. Well my Japanese test is done and over with! I hope I pass! To pass you need to get a 60%. The first section (worth 25%) was a breeze. I can say with confidence that I think I got perfect on that. The second part was the listening (also worth 25%) was...not bad. I'm going to say I got 50% for sure and anything more than that is a bonus! The third part was grammar and reading (worth a big 50%). And ummm well I had more than a few guesses on that section! The reading section was a breeze but damn that grammar! I'm never certain which article to use with a certain word and whatnot. I'll let you know in February when I get the test results!

After the test I met Fumiko and we did some Christmas window shopping. Again she would like to just buy each other what we want and I tell her that she's crazy. I pointed out a whole lot of things and told her to buy some of what I liked. That way it's still kind of a surprise. We also bought a decent Christmas tree which was nice. Not a puny Japanese tree either! It's a full 150cm tall and it's Canadian! At least that's what it says on the outside of the box.

Pics to come later!
