Hey everyone, I'm back! The JLPT was last Sunday, and so I'm finally ending my hiatus. Chai is a free elf!! I still can't believe I spent a whole month (!!!!) studying though. To be honest, by the first week of July, I was already wishing for the exam day to come sooner. I got so sick of studying that I just wanted to get everything over and done with. That's what happens when you try to stuff 8 months' worth of lessons into your brain in ~1 month, I guess ;_____; I'm an idiot, I know. I think I did well on the exam though! よくできたと思いますけど....._(:3 」∠)_


Anyway, now that the exam's over, I'm taking a break from studying for about a month. Then I'll go back to studying, but at a much slower pace this time. I still want to take the N3 exam, after all! In the meantime, I'm going to be working on all the backlog that I couldn't touch while on hiatus. Here's my recap of May. Enjoy~

Surprise! Bet you weren't expecting a post from me today. To be honest, I wasn't expecting a post from me either! (I'm supposed to be studying right now!) Anyway. From the title alone, some of you might already have an idea of what this post is about, but if not, keep reading. I understand that this is a sensitive issue, but in this day and age and current political climate, we can't afford to sit idly by and not say anything anymore. So here we are :)

Taking a quick break from cramming for the July JLPT to share my photos from April :)

Have you ever experienced browsing an online shop for gifts, only to end up buying something for yourself instead, completely on the spur of the moment? I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but that's exactly how the Innisfree Vivid Cotton Ink in #06 Faded Beige Tulip came into my possession, haha! 🙈

Just a little recap of March. Mostly kitty photos, but I'm sure you all knew that already ;)
