The Process of Progress: Chapter Eleven

Test Day!

Today started out really well. I woke up a little earlier than usual knowing that we had a test to prepare for. I feel really confident about how I did on the test. I was pretty well prepared, at least in my opinion (that usually results in bad performance lol) but my confidence remains. After taking the test, we ventured to the Prometric Testing Center. In my honest opinion, the place reminded me of a technological concentration camp. I mean I’m all for structure, but the place seemed like it was ran by robots. I’m huge on personal interaction, perhaps OCD about it, but I just did not enjoy the trip. But hey! We’re all entitled to our own opinions right? Afterward, I ventured to get some food with some friends. I decided that I would try the Korean BBQ for the first time. Another big mistake. I ordered what I thought would be cooked beef; however, when they brought it to our table, it seemed to still be breathing. After we all left the Korean restaurant disappoint, we took a trip to our favorite Turkish restaurant where they seem to never disappoint. After dinner, we hit the rooftop. At this point on the trip, our nights are probably more predictable than our well planned out days. I love the pattern I’ve fallen into though. It’s a very comfortable way of living here in Japan.

Weird moment of the day: I got homesick for the first time. I saw a picture that my sister posted of her at my cousin’s high school graduation. All of my family was there, and it was kind of disheartening that I couldn’t be there.
