yyyyy
eeeeee
hmmmm
I do not feel ready for JLPT at all. No matter what the score comes tomorrow, I’ll have a regret that I have not done enough prep for it, but looking back at the year, the amount of places I visited, the amount of friends I’ve made, the amount of manga I’ve read, the amount of book clubs i’ve participated in, scripts I’ve written, the amount of posts I’ve produced… maybe this is the best timeline?
I didn’t skip a single day of study in the last 368 days, first with WaniKani, Bunpro and Duolingo, then WaniKani, Bunpro and Satori Reader, and then WaniKani, Bunpro, Satori Reader and manga, so hey ^^
I most likely will not attempt any JLPT in the middle of the next year, maybe in the winter, but for now, it’s weird to even think I’m writing something tomorrow, but alas. We did it? Maybe? ^^
So, let’s get down to today’s breakdown;
夢の端々 was a bit of a downer when I was reading it, it’s definitely on the side of doomed yuri and you read this and you disengage because there is almost no point in time where the manga is happy, even in the scene of people making love to one another, this is the saddest love-making scene I’ve read in a while xdd
Probably not my manga for now ^^
FATE/STAY NIGHT THOUGH.
I’ve promised myself I’d read something with voice acting before JLPT and then I conveniently forgot about it… until today ^^
Previously, when I was reading the first part of the prologue (two days ago), I was feeling like I needed to sleep on some story developments for them to make sense, but the other chapters of the prologue in my hUMBLE OPINION are PEAK FICTION and I really enjoyed reading through Rin’s misfortunes ^^
I said I’m only interested in the prologue for Fate/Stay Night, because Emiya’s guts are getting to me, and so I did: 57062 characters, 670 pages according to the website ^^
If you translate it to regular novel terms, it feels something like 180 pages of a novel?
I timed myself on part 3 of the prologue, and I came at 23132 characters over 2 hours and 3 minutes, so if you want to calculate the mitrac-minute on this one, this might be the best data xddd
I probably spent something like 6 hours reading this prologue considering I read much slower in part 1, and something like 3 hours today, so, hey, that was fun C:
Couple notes:
mmm, he has his way with words xddd
I found it really cool when I was reading this sentence:
that ”もの" came to my head as a grammar before even reading the false furigana on this one ^^
Also, me, thinking I’d never use the 茨 kanji from WaniKani in my life, also me:
Ahhhh, so happy to have been able to finish it before JLPT! C:
Life
St. Nicholas day! As promised, started off with a Christmas market today, and would you look at that, they had Labubus with Fullmetal Alchemist on this one! C:
Blind boxes are a huuuge trend this year C:
Bouldering friend brought us some cake from Dresden and then we went to a food court to grab something together to eat ^^
And then I went to the main train station and set off to Düsseldorf!
Both mine and my test-taking friend’s delays were synchronized, we were both only about 25 minutes late and arrived at the same time xddd
…if you don’t count the delays ^^ xddd
But they have the same type of ads for different cities all around Germany, that’s pretty cool!
Me and her had some ramen and yuzu limonade to celebrate us writing the test, she writes N5, I do N2 C:
Lots of good conversations!
Aaaaand a Christmas taiyaki to seal the day! I didn’t even notice that they had a Christmas Taiyaki, so I made an order, paid for it, and then asked for the order to be cancelled to get a Christmas fishy instead xdd
So yeah, JLPT tomorrow! Fingers crossed both of us do well, and fingers crossed everyone on this forum does well too! Good night! C:
