Yesterday, I took the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, level three. It was from 9:45 to around 3:00, although the test itself only took about three hours. (Lots of break time between sections, I guess.) I am not too confident about how I did. However, at level three it only takes 60% to get a "pass."

The test took place in Fukuoka, which is on the northern end of Kyushu. It was a four-hour train ride, one way. We went a day early, and stopped at Daizaifu, which is a shrine where students traditionally go to pray for divine assistance on examinations. I got back here at around midnight last night. Thank goodness that today was an office day.
