さあ・。。。ひさしぶりですね。。。

Long time no see. Was studying like a madman for the JLPT Level 3 Test on 7th of December. And now once again i’m playing the waiting game, as everyone else who took the test. Got mixed feelings about this years JLPT. Though i found the kanji and listening part very fair, almost a bit easy, it was part three grammar and text understanding that got me contemplating. The funny thing is that this year i was through with the third part rather fast, so fast actually that i kept pondering for about 30 minutes on the last question of the last text. Although i understood the most part of it i couldn’t really figure out the progress of booking the conference rooms, for each room. And as i learned later from friends who took the test with me, the answer i choose was only half true. damn ^^

As of now my subjective opinion is that i won’t pass because my score is lacking like 10-20 points or more.

That is why i bought some Daruma figurines as good luck charms for passing the test =P

Each time i took the JLPT test, i take pictures of how my desk looks like when studying, what i do right after i get home from the test and thought i’d share them with you. You might notice the advancements to both my Desktop Setup and my Gaming Rig ^^

JLPT 4 PrepDesk (just my Kanji studies, not pictured the huge mountains of preparation sheets :p)

JLPT 4 After (kept the game closed ’til the test was over)

JLPT 3 PrepDesk (aforementioned preparation sheets..)

JLPT 3 After ( there’s nothing like pizza and “kirin” beer and a good game of gta4 after a japanese test ^^, more on the TF busts later)

It’s become quite an revolving procedure to play games after i get home. That’s mainly because i won’t allow my self to watch tv, play video games, watch anime or any other sort of fun activity orz.

Also i take the week before the test off of work and just study,study, study…

Did any of you take the Test? If so, which level and how did you fare ?
