Well… I’m 19 and, as you may have guessed, no actual Driver’s Licence just yet. Still rocking the learner’s permit. Whoops. I guess I sort of forgot all about this goal, what with school and all. That’s embarrassing.
Realistically, I’m probably not going to get much of a chance to master the art of driving before exams are over at the end of April, but if I can scrape together the $600 I need to take Driver’s Ed between then and September 2012, I should be good to go. Time will tell, I suppose. Let’s see if I can get this done by age 20? Maybe?

I’m pleased to report that I’m making steady progress with this one! I’m nowhere near fluent just yet, but I’m working on it.
A few weeks ago, I wrote the JLPT N5 (an official assessment that will certify my mastery of beginner’s Japanese), as well as the final exam for Japanese 201 (my university’s 2nd year intermediate Japanese course). I haven’t gotten the results back from either test yet, but I’m very hopeful that things went well.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fit Japanese 202 (the next course I need to take) into my timetable for Winter semester, but I’m hoping I will be able to take in in the Spring or Summer, or even next fall, so I can be ready to take the JLPT N4 (or repeat the N5, if need be) next December.

As it turns out, my university course load and I disagree about how much time should be spent on this… needless to say, university usually wins.
That said, I’m now 8,000 words in. Not much, I know, but I try to make a little progress whenever I can. With a lighter course load waiting for me this Winter term, I’d like to find a little more time to devote to this. Wish me luck!
