Where It's Warmer Outdoors than In.

So, I decided it's time to end the current hiatus. Nate and I have been studying for this year's Japanese Proficiency Test. Fortunately, the cramming period is over and now all there is left is waiting until February. Hopefully I won't fail this year! I actually studied a bit (albeit should have started studying earlier... I blame my Japanese teacher for not being on the ball because I told her ages ago I was going to take the test this year. I think it's time to find a new teacher--one who's a bit more creative and pushes me more. ).
There were so many Chinese people at the test site. Way more than there ever were in Beppu.It's been a little while since I've been around more than 10 foreigners at a time. After I opened the door, one girl tried to come in the bathroom stall while I was still in it and proceeded to give me a dirty look when she ran into me. But maybe she was just anxious since the toilet wait was about 10 minutes.
