Immersion Time
Feb. 10th, 2022 07:27 pmTime to get Serious.
I remembered that I have this app on my phone, Japan Radio. So I'm going to listen to this little NHK broadcast every day. They were talking about snowfall totals, the Olympics and stocks.
The following morning...
Now wondering whether I ought to have changed my layout after all. I can always go back and forth.
I am despairing a wee bit. I could not find the NHK broadcast from yesterday. They seem to only load ones from the past 24 hours! I searched the menus and found one that was ε€γ, but it was only for ordering the current list by most to least recent, for today. I needed more practice and I was understanding that one. XD;; The current lineup for today (of which there are several!) includes some unknown vocabulary and I am just sitting here like, how am I supposed to improve lol. Yuzuru, help me. I have been looking at his skating videos and the copious gif and photo sets on Tumblr for moral support, just for life in general.
So I was Committed and ordering books and taking this Seriously, which I still am and fully accepting that I might not get an outside job for a bit or that rather I should not focus on it so much as get the translation up and running. I know all too well that necessity is the mother of invention etc etc. So of course, last night as I was pondering bed, I see an e-mail in my inbox! Alison at the cafΓ© in town that I applied to back in December(!) wants to interview me for the asst mngr position! I have until Wednesday (thank fuck) to get my appearance et al together. I have not exactly been dressing up these past few months what with COVID. It is not like an Office but at the same time...
It is not as if I am not dressed nicely, albeit casually. Pretty much living in a bizarre combo of addidas track pants and button-ups cause I cannot bring myself to be too casual. *sigh*
I am not at all complaining! At the very least, it is ego-boosting and gratifying to know that someone actually values my experience and appreciated my cover letter enough to contact me! I am grateful, though I am wary of its interfering with my studies and my main purpose(s) which are to start a translation business, do translating work and to write. I am pretty sure that it is not FT from what I read on the advertisement weeks ago.
This is just hilariously typical. Like Ralph says, when you don't feel like you want or need something or you are not begging, you get what you want(ed). XD I, of course, do not know how it will turn out. Perhaps she will not even like me? We shall see. I have plenty of time to prepare at least which is a relief and in the meantime, I can study my arse off, secure in the knowledge that I am covering all of my bases! I was just making a vlog yesterday where I was speaking my intentions for this year and where I hope to be in a few months time and this is pretty cool. The energies seem to be all aligning into a discernible pattern at last. <333 Thank you!!!
Oh, and I filed my taxes, at last.ππ»ππ»ππ»
