Small Update

Hokay so, I'll be taking on the JLPT again.
GANBARIMASU!!!

After over a year of living in Japan, my Japanese has improved. But is it good enough to pass the second level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test??? Stayed tuned to find out!

So, because I'll mimic my 3先生 and dedicate almost every minute of my day to studying, I'll be online less frequently. But I'm pretty sure I'll escape from being surrounded by Japanese to go back to one of my mother languages.

BUT my computer hasn't been fixed yet so I've also been online less and less these days because I only get about an hour use with the battery.

Right, computers.
So, when I have some free time (this has been busy with different things), I'll call Dell and then decide whether I should gaman with my computer until it can get fixed (either until they can send the details to Dell in Japan or until I go back home) (*gaman = deal) or just go ahead and buy a Japanese computer for the meantime. I will say that I am leaning towards buying a Mac but since they are quite expensive it makes me a little hesitate to go ahead and buy one now. But, I think my answers will become more clear after I the Dell call.

Other than that, work is keeping me busy as well. Yesterday (and tomorrow I'll go back) I was at Fukuoka Nogyo High School. It's an agricultural high school and so English is not one of their prioirity classes (so it's not heavy on the grammar end and the kids rather openly show they're not interested in English. Well, the ones that aren't do...). So it was fun where it's more activity based learning but a little frustrating with the students who talk while their JTE is talking. But since they're not really my kids, I can't really do anything.
Anyhoo, the few kids that are interested in English make it worth while. :]

The crazy thing is that I heard the school has a PONY! A pony! ¡¿Que que?! Having roosters and cows makes sense but a pony?! Really?! This school is quite interesting.

Oh! And Halloween is coming up! Yay!
Lupita and me are thinking about having a small Halloween party. Yay! Downside is I have to work November 1st because it's my school's birthday anniversary. So I can't stay out late trick or treating. :[

Oooooooo...now I wanna make Rice Krispy Treats...

...Oh how they hate me...

My forever long battle with computers is...still continuing...
:/

My laptop's backlight has decided to give way and so I can't really see my screen. Unless I decided to go for odd angles that allow me to see what I'm supposed to be seeing but then I easily lose where the mouse pointer is...ugh...

Anyhoo, so I'll be MIA 'til I get a new computer. I'm able to do this post because my uber friendly co-worker, one who took a look at my sick laptop, is lending me his spare monitor for the time being.

So...I'll make mental notes on what to write about.
