This past week, I picked up a random short manga, started reading it, and…kept going to the end. I’ve never done that before, always ended up stopping. And I understood almost every last bit of it! Huge dopamine hit. I can already tell I’m going to be brimming with confidence by the time I finish my textbook in the Spring.

I also heard some wild stories about the JLPT through the grapevine. People getting disqualified because of their phones because of new rules and such. It’s freaking me out a bit, hah.
