Easier than the practice exams, but still plenty hard. Had a good six minutes to spare at the end. Nine questions I had no clue about, so assuming I missed them all, can blow another six and still pass.
Hmm...cautiously optimistic,but still the odds of failure > the odds of success.
Results in a couple of weeks, so we shall see after my vacation.
Interesting blend of test-takers, from the diligently serious salaryman and upwardly mobile OL to the hiphop t-shirt wearing gold-chainbling-blinging neck-tattooed.

On Saturday we went to the Nihonbashi BonOdori Matsuri in front of Honbu Dojo.
We ate a hotdog and some shaved ice, played some games and won some toys, then ate yakiniku at Batten.
Ton put away a plate of raw liver and some bibimbap, then ran around in the street whilst Batten's mom took care of Mookun and P and I ate plates of grilled meats.
Ton has been getting up early this past few days. We usually have to drag her out of bed all grumpy and pissy at 7, but this week she's been getting up around 6am on her own. Guess she is excited to go to summer school or something.
Since Mookun is usually up already, we migrate to the living room and do breakfast.
Recently Mookun has become quite talkative. Ok he's not actually talking, but he's making Amusing Baby Noises and it's not crying, so we'll call it talking and leave it at that.

From niichans upstairs. Went over there to play and they have SO many toys that they let her have this cool fire ladder truck! Thanks guys!



After a long day of playing with Yuika, the dynamic duo finally passed out on the way home.

Taking a break from the festivities to enjoy some cheesy snacks and tea.
