Oskarisamadeshta
The title means, “Good work.”
I’m not normally in the habit of praising myself after doing a good job but this is the phrase one says when you’ve finished a great meal or a combined effort of a hard day’s work. Everyone tittered, “Oskarisamadeshta!” after the last person presented.
Today was the puresentashon tesuto (presentation test). Everyone spoke on interesting topics — from Shinjuku’s nightlife to Japanese desserts to Korean night markets. It was surprisingly enjoyable (partly due to a much-needed break from learning grammar everyday). I can’t say I had the smoothest of presentations but I tried my best and even managed to extract a few laughs and post-speech questions about onsen culture. For me, that’s good enough.
I’ve got two exams down and two more to go. The marathon will end soon — thank f****. I’m tired. Soldiering on with the kanji now.
