So tired...
Last night I meant to come home and work on baseball blogging and on making some new signs to bring to the Fighters games this weekend, but instead I laid down "just for a little while" at 8pm and never really got up again until 6am. I mean, I woke up halfway through the night at one point but I wasn't really awake enough to DO anything.
I had a bunch of really weird dreams though. One of them, somebody was threatening to kill me, and for some reason I had a huge baseball collection, and people were stealing my baseballs and carving skulls out of them as threats. Really weird. The other dream I remember, I was taking the JLPT test, only all I could remember how to speak was Spanish for some reason.
I woke up thinking "CRAP! DID I MISS THE APPLICATION WINDOW FOR THE JLPT?" since I know it's being offered on July 5th and that's only a month away.
I'm not sure I understand the JLPT info page properly or not, but it SEEMS like people have until June 12th to send in the application. The question I have is mostly whether I can still GET the application, since the "uketsuke time" was until May 1st. So I might have to go to the big Kinokuniya and ask. Maybe I'll do that tonight.
I don't actually think I'm ready to pass the JLPT 2-kyuu to be perfectly honest. I should probly bring a practice exam with me to school and try taking it on one of these days where I have like 2 classes and spend like 6 hours just sitting at my desk in the teacher's room. I think if nothing else it would amuse the other teachers to see me studying for it since some students are studying for a big English standard exam in a few weeks.
(My language ability (or lack thereof) really bugs me. Though one of the teachers at my school -- one who teaches Kokugo, which is basically Japanese class in Japan -- asked me the other day, "When you go back to America, are you going to teach Japanese?" I was like "You have to be kidding. I can't speak Japanese worth anything!", but she said, "I usually can't talk to the foreign teachers at our school at all -- you're pretty good!")
Maybe I should see if I can sign up for the kanji kentei test my students are taking. Teehee.
