I've been busy (--)

I don't like to say this, but I've been busy.

I try to post something, and actually wrote some drafts.
But the topics that come up in my mind is kida hard to write.
So, I think it is better to keep those drafts.

Anyways, I've been studying for TOEFL.
But it's not easy and hard to keep my motivation.
There are some reasons.
First of all, I can't see my progress on my vocabulary.
Second, it is expensive both taking TOEFL and go to the testing center.
I can chose the testing center, but every testing center is far from my home.
So, I should spend at least $300 or $400 to taking TOEFL.
If I can't get enough grade, I have to take it again and spend same amount of money again.
(If I take the TOEFL twice, I should spend about $800!!!!! It's almost same as round trip to the U.S.!!!!!)

Those are the big reasons why I'm losing my motivation.

Well, I don't think this situation is good.
So, I found a solution for this.
I try to take other exam.
We call the exam "Eiken"
This exam kind of same as TOEFL, but we don't need to write essays.
So I think "Eiken" is easier than TOEFL.

If I have Eiken's second grade or higher, I can find a good job in Japan, like English teacher at private school :D
So, I believe taking Eiken have some benefits on my study and job hunting. :)
In addition, Eiken is not expensive. I can take the exam in my home town.

I already have "Pre second grade", so I will try second grade.
Of course I still study TOEFL :)
So, don't worry I will back to the U.S. and go to the University.
It is my hope, my dream :) I mean it is my first goal.

Well, I wish I will post more often.
I'll try to post something :D

See ya later!!!
