I'm not good at social networking so I don't really know how to reach out to people.

「JLPTN4」日本語能力認定書をついに貰いました！受けるのがとても嬉しいです。
僕の住所に認定書を送るときに住所を間違ったので試験会場は送り直したのに、最近もう届きました。
I received my N4 JLPT certificate, I'm glad to receive it!
The exam venue made a mistake sending out my certificate, so they resent it at a later date. But I received it recently.

Pretty much already installed and created a VPN connection, might still need to alter it just in case anything messes up while connected.

Planning to set up OpenVPN so I can circumvent most of the recent online censorship, had planned this prior already to play the Uma Musume game but I honestly forgot to do it.
Now is as good a time as any. Unfortunately I doubt this trajectory we're on online will stop. But any effort is worth it.

Recreated this anime frame of Kurumi Tokisaki from Date a Live for fun. Took quite a while. There is no background yet and I could still push for more.
First picture is the original frame, the second one is my recreation. Third one is the line-art and the fourth has the colours.
Did this for fun.

Yeah my homework was all correct after I changed the last question to third before returning it lol. Also had n4 listening practice, deliberately spoken way quicker. Seemed to answer most correctly but it's very difficult at that speed I felt. I feel like I can probably pass the N4 at this rate.

Last sheets of homework done for tomorrow's Japanese course. Decent chance I made some mistakes but I *think* I got them all correct? The last one feels like it could genuinely be multiple choice-- however I go by where 習慣 is mentioned and presume only 1 answer is possible.

I will book piano lessons soon, I wanted to make sure the JLPT was booked prior to ensure I couldn't suddenly experience having too little money to book it (extremely unlikely but stuff tends to find a way to go wrong for me.)
Tomorrow I want to resume studying Japanese.

I guess being determined to try until it says signups are delayed worked out for me at last.

Yeah second time, no charm. I got to the registration form at least, but the site keeps having issues. Seems many people do once again as well.
Leiden university's JLPT team really has to do something about their atrocious load balancing and all the other registration form issues.

Art has always been accessible. Pick up a pencil and some paper to draw on and over time, if you try to learn, you can make improvements.
A drawing tablet and digital drawing software may seem daunting at first, but they are also very accessible and you can learn in them as well.

I'll sign up for the N4 when signups open at 13:00. About 45 minutes from now. I look forward to studying more and while I hope to pass, if I don't I will continue to study diligently.

I still consider just getting rid off social media as a whole sometimes, but it's hard to stay in contact with anyone if I do.
Though I have started to be online lesser and to focus on other things, it's been pretty good.
