steps to JLPT 1

あと139日

Just finished book 9 chapter 1. I hope I can really finish it in dedicated 3-4 more weeks. It’s pretty good so far though I don’t feel like there’s a lot of vocabs in that book. *shrugs* We’ll see when I finish it.

Hmm. I haven’t done another JLPT trial. Will do 1993 文字·語彙 before I sleep today.

After finishing this book I suppose I can repeat grammar again while trying to finish ハリーポッター. Ah, but for now I need to focus on this vocab book first…

Since I finally heard the application is open, I checked the website, BUT. The Melbourne’s status is TBC… o___o;; Uoh nuo. But the deadline is still in early September, so there’s still time. If not… maybe I’ll take it in Sydney…? Omg… When I took the test 2 years ago, it was only around $50. This year I need to pay $70… ;__; Well, Level 1 and 2 is more expensive anyway… Takaiiii….

Days are running fast, aren’t they. I have to think and do a lot of things in the remaining months of the year. I don’t know how am I gonna get through this period, or whether I’ll succeed or not… *sigh* Nantoka naru…

Came back from Japan with bunch of… manga. I bought several manga, magazines, 1 Harry Potter novel, and 1 Vocabulary book for JLPT that I finally managed to get on my last night of the trip.

Haven’t gone too far with them. I did read 1 chapter of Harry Potter, after briefly reading the English version. At first I tried to find the words I don’t know in the dictionary, but afterwards I just couldn’t be bothered. Not all of the kanji have kana, but it was really helpful. But it will really take a looong time to finish the book. It took me almost 2 hours to finish 1 chapter… =_=;

Since it is not advised to do too many things at once, and I already have too much on my hand… I think I’m gonna pause the novel till there first. I’m gonna do the vocabulary book first. Afterall, the JLPT is more important. But it might not be so important if I’m gonna take Japanese university exam for April entrance. At least I hope my vocabulary will improve after the book… Since the content is really intense, I don’t think I’m gonna finish soon either. I’ll give myself a month to finish it.

At this rate I seriously can’t finish reading all my Japanese books. Need to use more of my time… And it’s so hard to start reviewing kanji… I’m really forgetting them…
