Thoughts regarding my futile attempts 「絶望した。。。」

So, over the past 2 months, I've been trying my damn hardest drilling as much vocabulary and kanji (漢字) into my head as possible, but now I've finally realized there's no way I can ever know ENOUGH kanji before my placement test. I glanced over a list of kanji elementary kids should know (教育漢字) by the time they pass grade 6 and I must say, I feel rather hopeless at the moment, lol. I guess it's better than not learning any new vocab and kanji at all. In the meantime, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I need to meet up with my friend so we can practice speaking to each other... Otherwise we're both screwed when we land in Japan. LOL



Oh, by the way, lately I've been asking a few people what they want from Japan. I can try my best to pick up something while I'm over there. Feel free to leave your name and what you want in the comments section. If you just want something random from Japan, just drop a name and list what you DON'T want. =) That's all for now.

Damn

I should have sent those damned documents earlier to Hokkaido but I sort of lost track of time. Now I need to fork over 94CAD to ensure Hokkaido University of Education receives my little parcel of paper by September 1st. At least it'll get there around this Friday via UPS. LIFE201: Don't procrastinate. (Repeat required until pass) -sigh- I tried.
