So, all you doing-the-JLPT-hito, have you received your invitation to the practice test? I got mine and I'm stupidly excited about it because I thought doing it last year was a very good experience, since it's an almost-real test before the real test, and also, they pay you! Which means that not only do you get to do a simulation of the real thing, that's Y2,000 less you're paying for the priviledge of taking the actual test.

I'm signing up, and you should as well! Woohoo! :D Practice shiken shiyou!

Apparently, I'm very loopy tonight. I totally screwed up the rumba on my first try -- you should have seen me, I was spectacularly lost! -- but managed to improve. I also totally failed at nihongo while speaking to my super sweet French buddy; she must have been thinking, "Oh my, this girl really thinks she has a chance at passing level 2?! O_O" But then after the break, when we went back into the studio, the word had gotten around (thanks to one of the instructors, who calls me "Canadian" XD) that I'm French-Canadian, so I was approached by the adorably wrinkled Monsieur Asano, who studied in Paris way back in the 60s. I'm constantly surprised by how many French-speaking Japanese people there seem to be in Tokyo!
