So my job interview happened last week and they waiting game has begun. Though I won’t go into details of the interview itself, I hope that I performed well enough to get the job. Unfortunately I won’t be hearing back anything until April, so I have quite a wait.

I’m also still waiting for the results of the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) that I took back in December, but I know it won’t be until March that I hear back.

Added to the list are the results from the Semester 1 exams I took earlier this month.

However, I do still have plenty to get on with while waiting for these results. The Leeds University Japanese Society is running a Tanabata Festival next month which I’m helping out with. With LSTV I’m trying to finish an animation in time for the NaSTA Awards, as well as running a beginners animation workshop. I’m making an effort to get the Lotaku webcomic going again. And let’s not forget about my dissertation and other Uni work, after all this is the final semester.

So as my way of signing off, please enjoy this comic strip by Kelly Angel.

First of all, a tune I’ve listened to quite a lot lately.

My exams are finally over here at Uni, and that means I have a bit of time before I need to start panicking about resitting them. Hoorah pesimism. So what do I plan to do now that I have a bit more free time? I’m going to go back and work on some of long over-due projects that’s what.

The Lotaku webcomic is in drastic need of an update, and since I have a half complete page already I really should crack on with that. The last uploaded page was a dramatic shot of Simons mom being wheeled into the hospital.

On a similar topic, my should also crack on with my contribution to the Leeds Uni Anime Soc Manga Project. My section is going to be a part side-story of one of the Lotaku characters, but I won’t say much more on it just yet … mainly because I’ve not bloody decided.

I also want to do another animation this year for LSTV. At the mo, I’m thinking of doing one to this song, Funny Man by Rodney Carrington. So I guess if I start that during the summer I can get it in early. I’m also planning on doing a few more TV shows for LSTV this year; possibly remaking some stunning Japanese TV moments.

Finally, one thing I MUST do is upload the rest of my photos from Japan. Yes folks I know I’ve been really slack on it, but I’ve already posted a chunk on now. Go ahead, check them out. It’s already been scheduled to do another set tomorrow, so I’m planning (again) to get a new set up every day. I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I came back to the UK.

Oh yeah, need a house for next year too.
