Japanese Language Proficiency Test Results

[dr4b]

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Writing-Vocab: 80/100
Listening: 59/100
Reading-Grammar: 136/200
Total: 275/400

(you need 240/400 to pass - believe it or not, most people who take the test fail... it is REALLY hard)

Wow! So now I have a certificate saying that the Japanese government recognizes that I knew enough Japanese to pass the level 3 proficiency test. Whee!

Dammit, where is Carl... I owe him a lunch.
note ten minutes later: Carl also passed! he passed the harder level than me, with an even higher percentage. yay!

Haha! You were foolish to bet against your own success! Now you owe me (and Martin) food!

Anyway, congratulations. You should go show this around.

[dr4b]

hehe

i think your journal should say it more like "after deanna called up like 'GET YOUR MAIL GET YOUR MAIL NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW I GOT MY TEST RESULTS I BET YOU HAVE YOURS TOO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GET YOUR MAIL NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!'" or something. :)

She does.

[dr4b]

oo, more context? i'm always curious to find out who i know...

[dr4b]

and, actually, i don't know what it means either. i can put it on my resume, certainly, in addition to "four semesters of japanese", and maybe it'll help if i ever want to find a job using my japanese skills. or something...

You know, Seattle has a large Japanese population. We also have a very large Japanese contingent in our baseball team, a sister city in Japan, and a lot of Japanese business connections. Seems like Seattle might be a good place to look for a job that needs Japanese language skills.

We also have a world class university (according to the web page, anyway), and lots of high tech.

hint hint hint.

hmmm... i wonder if anyone will notice me adding comments to this old message?

[dr4b]

it's not old to me...

yeah, maybe i should go look for a job in seattle. is there a good seattle job site to check?
