Oh, I had not heard that. Maybe I'll try doing it that way then.

Japanese food can be very expensive here, even though I live right on the water. Most Japanese restaurants are Korean-owned here so it's often more fusion food. Authentic restaurants can be found in the next province.
$1 CAD is around 87 yen right now. lol Although I don't want the dollar to improve too much if I live overseas until I work out a living plan around paying back student loans.

There's a really nice Japanese restaurant somewhat close to where I live. It's called Kaze, and it is wonderful both in food and atmosphere

HL/LL: I may be able to change jobs but I'm just wondering if it's worth it right now.. I really, really like the people I work with and the supervisors and floor staff definitely like me. But sometimes the hours are inconsistent, although they always try to find me work somewhere in different departments.
There's that and I find out about Korea in a couple weeks and if I get accepted then I'd only be able to work for them less than a month. I'm not sure I'd want to make them pay to train me and then I leave last minute.
I'm also applying to an education related job in case Korea doesn't work out because I want experience working with kids. But that wouldn't start until the school year begins. Although if it's only part-time I may be able to do this other job during the evening.
Not used to having options. haha

Hm, far as I can see you'd be better off staying where you are right now, FFF. At least until you hear about Korea.
HL: games and drinks with friends!

Hey, gotta treat yourself now and then.
HL: well, got the JLPT N2 exam out of the way today. Really couldn't say whether I've passed or not. I'm... cautiously optimistic. I did okay, but... whether I did okay enough to pass all the required sections, I'll have to wait until the end of August to hear. It sure would be nice to have this under my belt, but if I didn't manage it I can always try again in the winter, and I'll be better prepared then.
LL: friend of mine's really buckling under the exam stress, and there's nothing I can think of to do to help her... I'm no good in these situations.

Sometimes. I'm not sure if it does any good here, but I'm going to ask if she wants to do some practice for her presentation with me tomorrow, hopefully that'll be somewhat useful...
HL: nice dinner with a couple of friends.
LL: kanji exam tomorrow, oh goodness. I have a lot of cramming to do. But then cramming usually works very well for me, so it should hopefully be okay (in the short term, at least. I pass tests this way but the kanji don't necessarily stick, ha).
*some time later*
Scratch that, this exam's going to be a massacre. <_<

Oh my, poor Kaz! I was the same with my Spanish exam when I was doing my studying for finals. I passed it and managed to hold on to my GPA, so I bet you can do the same!
HL: I'm hanging out with a bunch of friends tonight for Fourth of July here in America, so that'll be fun.
LL: My girlfriend is going to Japan for two weeks. It's really exciting, and I hope she has a great time, but I'm gonna miss her... Oh well, at least she's bringing me home a Pokemon plushie

HL: Exam wasn't a complete and utter disaster! Far from my best performance, mind, but it went better than I was expecting. Only one more exam to go now, the grammar one tomorrow. Not too worried about that. ^^ While we have gone over a lot of grammar points this semester, there's been nothing particularly difficult to understand.
Friend that was down seems to be doing better. She's doing her presentation in a couple of hours and while I'm sure she's nervous as all Hell, her poster's looking great. She's put in so much effort. It's about Ni no Kuni and its themes of mental health.

Thanks, husky. <3
People try to set off fireworks on their property? I had to talk some of the exchange student boys out of setting fireworks off near houses. They couldn't understand how it was dangerous (and illegal) so I told them if they wanted to use them they either needed town permission or to go to the beach. I'm not sure if setting off fireworks on beaches is illegal but most people do that here.

Really sorry to hear that, FFF.
HL: grammar exam went really well, and now I'm freeeee. Only things left to worry about now are going-home preparations. @_@
