It's not you. This website has some confused logic that attempts to insert spaces, and this just kills Japanese text. I think there's a trick to avoiding it, maybe by using ASCII spaces and not Japanese spaces? I'm not sure.

Here we go. Nearly time to sign up for the JLPT N2 again. Been taking the JLPT class at the sokogakuen here in San Francisco -- actually I think I've been through this class 5 times now over the last 3 years? I've been pretty busy with work, but at least this class keeps me going at minimum level.
Anyway, lately, I've been pretty busy taking care of non-language related goals. I have lost quite a bit of weight, and I'm earning pretty good money, so this year I've gotten to absolutely zero debt.
Still, would be nice to cap this off by passing the N2 this year. Last year's test was a bit of a disaster though, and pretty serious fail on the listening comprehension. I'm afraid I'm not really close. Almost tempted to take the N3 instead, but I'm not sure, I'm kind of thinking I'll just keep failing N2 over and over. I don't actually need to pass one of these things. It's just a thing I do.
I'm trying to get back into the anime watching. Did make it through a complete hunterxhunter episode and a sword art online on crunchyroll. THough I confess my comprehension is not super great with these.

Ooh, and I still have really stiff sounding writing, but, that's how it goes. Trying to get back into this.

trying to get back in the swing of things. Hard to write every day because I run out of topics, but it's been awhile, so it hasn't gotten old yet.

See if this works as a link. Just signed up for JLPT N2 for 2014. So no I'm committed, I spent my $60, one more time.

Coming up on the last month of this. I think I'm going to cram some practice tests again prior to the N2. I've been working on the N2 for four years now, so I really have a lot of study material here. Just need to shut up, stay off of Facebook and use some of it.

I got this collection of 70's vintage Japanese songs. Found some I like.

I'm curious. How much of the core 6K do you know about? I'm thinking I know probably 3K roughly. That's
great that you've lost weight. I just ate half a box of cookies. At least I exercise so I don't gain wait but you
can't lose it doing that no matter how much you exercise.
