Day 148(Osaka) : Fock mock exams

It's funny how skipping one day in a daily habit pretty much makes it not a habit any more. It looks like I won't be making daily posts like I have been because I'm a little pre-occupied with trying to figure out what I'm doing here in Osaka. As for this beautiful Sunday, I spent the whole day inside studying almost all of the books I have in my collection trying to get an edge up on this pop exam that we're having Monday. I'm still confused as to how a big exam that is going to run four hours and end the day early could have flown by completely off my radar. What's even worse is that I had to sign a piece of paper and choose which level to take, so at some point it was right in front of me and I still didn't notice it.

It's the first time in a long time that I actually put a few hours towards learning Japanese outside of the school. I'm even getting some early prep work for the kanji test that we'll have on Tuesday since the exam is setting us back a day. I did a little tour de neighborhood this afternoon too. Had to walk about fifteen minutes down the street to find a 7/11 that would accept my American credit card. I was surprised because after a few blocks it actually became a pretty nice neighborhood with newer homes and apartment complexes that kind of put my neighborhood to shame. Not that I'm complaining. I'd rather live here close to the station than put an extra ten minutes between me and school.
