Forgot to post this earlier... and I kind of keep forgetting to tell my own mother, but I got my grades for the year finally!
J2 Japanese: 74
Classical Japanese: 80
Structure of Japanese [Linguistics]: 67
Classical Jp Lit: 70
J2 Japanese Readings: 74
Uh, for the non-Brits, 70 and above is the "first class" in terms of grading, I guess it's like getting an A? 60-69 is upper second, 50-59 is lower second, 40-49 is third, making a passing mark anywhere from 40 upwards. I'm still not sure I can really be proud of 70-80s... I don't think I will ever get my head around aiming for a 70 in a
language course where it's definitely possible to get 100s... but... getting firsts and an upper-second is good in general? D:
Looking more closely at the exam grades, such as Paper C for J2 (the one I missed out entire sections of), I got a 70 for that. Which vaguely reassures me, because that means I would have gotten probably 80s if I'd finished in time... rather than meaning I suck at Japanese entirely. And a 79 on the Classical exam gives me hope I might be able to cope with taking more courses like that.
Otherwise, almost time for family to arrive and I think everyone's run out of steam in terms of tidying, clearing and cleaning. The house is passable, or it will be once we have one clean bathroom... but no one wants to do ANYTHING right now. Getting past 3 years of clutter and house failure in 2 weeks just isn't possible I guess. I'm looking forward to meeting my family and hanging out with them, regardless. I might even go into Manhattan with them this weekend :D
This is only showing up at 2.30am because until now I was continuing to catch up on the
One Piece anime. Right now, I'm up to episode 314, so only a few more to go before I'm up to date! I watched the scene with Merry and I was crying my eyes out all over again, haha. OP is kind of amazing and awesome. Apparently there's a fair bit of filler now that Enies Lobby arc is over, then I'll get to THRILLER BARK, which I've been waiting for ^^ Brooooks!~
Most importantly saving the best for last,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIENNE! ♥
