Update on Japanese Test

As some of you may remember I took a basic level Japanese language proficiency test in December of last year. Yesterday I finally got my results and of course I failed. I'm ok with that because even my Japanese teacher had told me I was not going to pass. The issue is that I needed to get 60% correct in order to pass the test. Does anyone want to guess how much I got? Anyone? Well I got a beautiful 59.5% and apparently the mathematical rules of rounding a number up do not apply in the Japanese Language test office, so I failed by 0.5 %. Basically if I would have know one more Kanji or one more verb I could have passed. I think my Japanese teacher said it best: "If you pass after 5 months only, it crime". Ohh well, a certificate was not going to save me from a menu full of Kanjis in a restaurant. I will just have to find comfort in the fact that at least I can order take out pizza, thank God for Pizza Hut.
