Exams

The start of March is a very busy period for us, filled with lots of exams.

After the midwinter-training at the hombu dojo, I realised I learned a lot and had almost reached the required amount of training-days for my next aikido exam. So in Februari we trained almost every day, and I managed to reach the exact amount of required training days! So, last sunday I took my aikido exam at the hombu dojo for 4th kyu. It was a very busy day with lots of people taking exams, and lots of spectators, it was a great experience. And... I passed!!

Next week will be the start of our Japanese exams. Monday and Tuesday are filled with different tests: grammar, listening, conversation, kanji. So this week, and coming weekend, we are spending a lot of time studying to be prepared for the tests. So please keep your fingers crossed for us!
After the exam our school has organised a nice bowling party, which will be the start of our spring vacation. During the vacation we will finally have more time to visit more of Tokyo and do some sightseeing, so we will update on that later.
