JLPT

We're in the season again, in more ways than one. Some of you who took the JLPT (Japanese Langauge Proficiency Exam) a few months ago are just getting your scores now. Others who have signed up for the JLPT this December are anxiously waiting. It's a new test this year, with an added level. This test is a big deal for many, because it means credentials on your resume (or not). I'd like to know, from those who have taken the "new" tests, what your impressions are.

Wow--the school year went fast. It was great to see everyone at Commencement, meet your families, etc. Professor DeBlasi was serious, you know, when he said that we'll miss you. If you're not signed up for the listserv, you should be! For you graduates, the networking through the listserv and connected EAS alumni just seems to grow continuously. Someday, perhaps, as Joe predicted, we'll take over the world. But, until then, I guess we'll have to settle for geeky research and course prep...
