I passed JLPT2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格合格!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy. I blame exhaustion, but I cried tears of joy upon seeing my results in the mail as I strolled in from a full day on the job. I worked for this, I earned this! I spent countless Saturday nights studying kanji instead of doing other fun things. I studied thousands of new words and grammar in a span of six months. I learned to speed-read in a foreign language. I've been studying Japanese 3 years and I pulled it off. Holy shit. I'm still reeling in shock that I actually pulled it off.

Come December, JPT1 time: hell or high water.

Congratulations Ben!!!

I knew you'd pull it off!

I think you should give yourself a little more time to rest up and relax still.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys! You might be right Kyle, although now I'm just in mild study 2-3 hours a day mode, not full-blown 5-6 hours like I was before, heh. It only stopped over vacation and that was weird!!

Still riding high (so to speak)
