Project 365: Goal Completed!

Yes! I finally did it! Posted my last pic earlier.

I’ve tried doing this last year but stopped middle of the year because my schedule was so hectic. That, plus the fact that I was ony using a camera phone that takes poor quality photos. Then I made this as my goal this year again. I started 1st of January. What made it a bit easier than last time was that I mostly used my iPhone 4 to take the photos (unless I use my Canon S90) and then from there I can upload directly to my Project 365 blog using the WordPress app. And a couple of hours ago I finally posted my 365th pic. Hooray!!!

It wasn’t easy. There were times I wanted to stop because I can’t think of shots to take and I was just taking random shots. Luckily, some forum members also doing the same thing thought about having a weekly theme. We bloghopped around and supported each other throughout. Some members were not able to finish. But some of us did and I’m gad I’m one of them.

Goal completed! Yes!

Completed

I finally paid all my bills! Well, not mine actually but they’re under my name. So in truth I was paying for bills that aren’t really mine. NVM, so long as I’m fully paid now. I can breathe more. Such a wonderful feeling!

Elementary Japanese Final Exams

It was very tough. An exam spread over three days. First day was grammar. Second day was listening and dictation. Last day was oral. Since my schedule was very busy since the start of the year, I wasn’t able to study my lessons after we have discussed them. And my schedule went even more hectic as the exams went near. During exam weekend my friends then invited me to watch movies with them… not a good idea. I ended up not being able to study more than I wanted to. I did enjoy the movies, though.

Exam day… I can barely remember which particle went with what and which verb form to use. Really, really tough. The listening one—well, I got problems with that. You see I get easily distracted if I just have to listen and questions and options were not repeated. The dictation saved my life, though. We got used to it in class. Then the oral one was also a bit difficult.

To my surprise I passed. well, I never imagined I can do it since I wasn’t able to study much. My grammar and listening were both passed but score ain’t so great. Glad my dictation and oral were quite good.

For my intermediate course I have to make sure I study more.
