esmenetSubjects the JLPT wants me to know difficult words about: money, business trips, office politics.
Subjects I actually know difficult words about: flowers, injuries, war, and poetic movements.
I was alright for grammar, though I think L2 may be easier for me than L3 whenever I get around to taking it. Maybe they will ask me about Heian-era poetry, or something else I actually know about! But even with the two-hour drive to Chicago, it was actually kind of fun and I'm a bit sad I won't be seeing most of my fellow testees again. There was one older guy who could have gone for World Championship of Flirting With Teenage Girls And Not Being Creepy, moustache and all.
And also, the 'going to Chicago' bit of it reminded me how much I love love love cities. I spent the whole day in a couple rooms and hallways of the university, so I didn't get to walk around at all, but NGH. *_* Even just looking through car windows, I got the feeling cities always give me. So many shops, so many houses, so many people, so much history. Every 'fantasy realism' book or mystery novel or anything that takes place in a small town or on a little island, you go to a big lively city and you can imagine the same amount of stuff happening on every block. There's just something—it's basically magic. God I love cities.

Chicago sounds like it was fun!
