Seriously
Test results for the JLPT came in yesterday.
I passed, barely.
But I still passed!
What this says to me is that I did just the right amount of hard work, not so much that it took away from other activities, but not so little that I couldn’t make it. In a way, I’m lucky, but I also know that those months of reading little kanji cards on the train and studying with friends was validated.
And I thank you all for letting me talk about my trials and tribulations of learning Japanese, and not asking me to just talk more about anime.
I guess for now the jlpt category will lay dormant, unless I am insane enough to go for the level 1.
Maybe I am. Who knows?

Congrats! :)
Better go for JLPT1 before they add the new level. I read somewhere it was going to get harder once JLPT gets five levels. ^_^;
