How excited am I that my grade 6 class got cancelled today?! Of course I have to make it up on Monday which gives me 4 classes next week but for today I am happy. I have been spending my nights studying for the JLPT which is now only 2 months away so I am a bit sleepy today. Turns out I have about a thousand million grammar points to learn if I want to pass. Plus kanji of course. The test costs a lot of money though so I really want to pass this time. Last year I got 56% - you need 60% to pass. It is all a bit of a struggle though since I am so unmotivated. I need someone to watch my study so I don't start thinking about other things. I have written any number of letters while "studying".
This weekend Saturday is a public holiday. What is the point of that? If we are not gonna get a long weekend out of it, don't even bother having a holiday. Apparently it's because most people work on Saturday morning anyway so that gives them the whole weekend. Well in that case why not make it a Monday public holiday and then they can have Sat arvo, Sunday and Monday off, and me too! But there is another long weekend coming up in October I think. That coincides with a visit from my old high school of a bunch of teenagers and my old Japanese teacher. They are doing a 5 day, 4 night homestay here in Kamogata over that weekend. On the Thursday they are having a reception and they asked me and a couple of others to come along and translate and then they just gave us the pieces of paper with what's gonna be said on it already! So less translating and more reading...
