The meteorologists were wrong again! I guess Sinlaku took a turn away from Japan. There wasn't much in the way of rain today, and instead of crazy gusting winds, we got a few cool breezes. Overcast skies and wind made the temperature much more tolerable.
The placement tests were awful. I have so much to learn! Most people are keeping their fingers crossed not to be in the lowest level language class--but I don't see the big deal. We're all going to improve our language skills, no matter where we get placed. I am quite worried, though, that I'm in over my head here. Comparing my skills to others' has really highlighted the weakness of my program back home. I'm not used to feeling like such an academic failure! Being here is very humbling.
The best part of the day was free lunch! Lots of different Japanese foods and time to mingle with other SKP students. We decided to celebrate the fact that two-thirds of the placement test is behind us, so we took a trip to Liquor Mountain when we finally got back to the house.
Off I go--I'm sure my Captain Morgan is chilled by now.
