Shaggy left me a message saying "Did you get yours??" and I had to think because I hadn't gotten anything. But I looked again, and there, buried in the bottom of the plastic orange wanna-be mailbox was the cheap waxy papered postcard I've been waiting for since December 2nd of last year. For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting the results of my Japanese 3rd Level Language Proficiency Test (as I have), they came today.
Here's the breakdown:
Writing/Vocab: 96/100
Listening: 83/100
Reading/Grammar: 176/200
Total Score 355/400
Passing percentage: 60%
My percentage: 89%
WooWeeee! I'm so psyched!!! My goal was a 90%, and I came thiiiiis close! I studied so hard and it took so much effort but I passed and got decent score. Of course, I'm aiming for even higher for next time, but for now, I really couldn't be happier.
For comparison's sake, last year I scored a 94% on the 4th level test.
I leave for Hokkaido tomorrow on a 6-day trip to go to the Snow Festival and do some other cool stuff. Report and photos to come...
I tell of my day-to-day experiences in a funky Japanese town from my American viewpoint. This blog could also be called 'Bizarro World', 'Notes From Kyushu, a Smaller Island', or 'Teaching English in Japan: Smash Your Ego in 10 Easy Lessons."

Wow- great scores on the language tests!! You must've REALLY studied!
Question - What is kanji?
Mamacheraunt
Hey MCA,
Thanks!! I really like this stuff!
Kanji are the pictographs that are used to write Chinese and Japanese, kind of like Egypt's heiroglyphs. Chinese and Japanese characters are related, but not the same.
Julie - Wonderful news! I do know you worked really hard on it, and an 89 is quite respectable. So you are a student after all, huh? All that work for a cheap waxy postcard.
Love you. Dad
Thanks, Dad!!!
I love you too
CONGRATULATIONS, not only on passing your exam, but also on attaining such a great score!!
