A little bit here and there.

Since Monday, I was out running about in Tokyo, through and fro, hopping from JR to metro and back again to JR. Guess what? I got none those that I intend to do, done. I wanted to do my visa renewal but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I have to put that plan on delay. I really do not want to head back there again. It is such a torture. Also, because I walked a little too much since last week, I'm having some blister growing on the soles of my feet.

I suppose most people around me know. I finally landed myself a part-time job. No promises as of yet because I am currently in probation period before I officially get myself a part time job. While this probation still stands, my pay will, without a doubt, be lesser and it will not be an easy ride.

I actually have to use proper japanese and all the formal japanese. Formal japanese is not my speciality so I am actually a little worried. Wait, I take that back. If I could, I am actually freaking out. 

But I reckon if I don't take this big step out, I would not have actually gotten out of my comfort zone. I also reckon that this would, without a doubt, be of an excellent experience which will contribute to my growth. To be honest, I wonder how I manage to talk a whole unconvincing lot of sentences from my mouth. I must be a pro at interviews now. 

"Say what the interviewer wants to hear."

"Put myself in the shoes of the interviewer and think what would I want to hear."

Without a doubt, the candidate has to sound determined, passionate and unique. Unique meaning, "why the manager should totally hire me instead of others despite the other candidates having (probably) similar qualifications" sort of "unique-ness".

Many people were very nice to tell me that I won't have problems with this job nor the interview. Well, at least my friends were right about the interview. I am now worried about my part time job. I am not even talking self confidence here. I am doing a serious judgement based on my horrible proficiency in japanese language. 

Side note,  language proficiency tests never really proofs a person's proficiency in a language. I hate how school always judge a person's proficiency level base on those bias tests. Take for example, instead of being book smart, I am more street smart, does that make me stupid? Well, no. I have seen people totally oblivious to the world and the people around them except their textbooks. No no no, I am usually not good with people like that. They make me wanna punch them. Then again, people who are ignorant are of another category. But depending on their level of ignorance, they are also on my "to-punch-list". 

Sorry, I've been having a not very pleasant past few days. Also, I reckon my period is coming soon. That most likely explains my state of anger and mood swings from time to time. My bad. I can't help it because I'm a girl and I can't control my hormones during this time of the month.

Anyways, I am still on my hunt for the perfect boots and shoes for any occasion and season, meaning wearable during summer as well. I am not really a sandals sort of person but I am up for boots anytime. 

Shopping is never an easy task for me. There can be many shoes around that look similar but most of the time they are not "it". There was no feeling of "love at first sight". Boo. This does not even have anything to do with indecisiveness. If one hesitates when buying something, it would probably be a sign to not buy it at all.

And... The freaking university isn't replying my email. Oh god, please reply me already. It's going to be Thursday and still no reply. I want my reply so I can start applying thank you.

Bye.
