LL: Had to go to the ER two nights ago... Thankfully, not for the flu... I had a severe internal infection in my right calf and foot. They administered an IV antibiotic and watched me for a bit.. It is starting to feel a bit better...

Thankfully, it wasn't the Co-vid flu...

Stay safe, everyone...

lockdown but it's a good time to learn more about medical informations regarding the current crisis. Stay at home and watch your health.

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.

Some of which is tightly restricted at the moment, but unless we all continue with this unwanted restriction, the pandemic will take much longer before it is over...

Be Safe Everyone...

Maybe HL: might have a shot at some actual paid manga translation work. Just finished the test the company sent me and I think I did pretty well, so, fingers crossed.

LL: my departure date for Japan's now been moved to September, but I'm not too disappointed, I knew the initial postponement date was too optimistic.

__________________

HL: had a Zoom call with several others on the internship program I'll be starting in September. It was nice to meet them and have a chat, they and the staff were all very friendly. And this kind of contact made things feel a bit more real. We'll be having more meetings like this throughout May and working on a couple of small assignments together. I'm looking forward to it. Everyone's from such diverse backgrounds.

*I couldn't remember the word 'internship' for about a minute, all that was coming to mind was 'internment'. I've been inside too long.

Does the delay otherwise affect how your internship is going to work, or it is just put off until September?

__________________

I don't think it will affect things too much; that was my initial concern, that the delay would eat into the actual duration of the program. But when they initially delayed it to June 1st, they assured us it would still run for a full year, so hopefully that'll still be the case... We're getting some things out of the way now that we would have done at the start of the program (meeting each other, group assignments, intro to Japanese culture, business etc), so the content will be a bit different when we get there. But yeah, no major alterations, I think.

That sounds good then. I hope it goes smoothly from here!

Thanks guys, staying optimistic that there'll be no more hitches from here on. 'w'

HL: I passed the test for that manga translation company! Just signed the contract, so hopefully I'll get some work from them soon!

HL: ended up watching Spirited Away with my group from the internship last night. We used it as the basis for a little assignment we had to do this week, watching the film together and then recording a short group discussion afterwards. Seems like everyone was familiar with Ghibli to some degree, so I think I'm in good company!

Good to hear that, Kaz...

Highlight: I finally got some subtitling work! It doesn't actually require translation (just rewriting and arranging something already in English), but it's a relief to get a starting point.

Good for you... Perhaps it will lead to more work ....
