Today I found out my uncle had a stroke earlier in the week. The hardest part about being on the other side of the world is not being with family. I can handle going without a decent bacon sandwich, a decent pub atmosphere; I can handle the constant state of confusion and the general frustration that comes from living abroad. However I am not good at handling the guilt that comes from not being able to be there when family and friend need help *big, long, heavy sigh*

Practice makes perfect!
It turns out all those hours spent practicing for the eiken speaking tests last month paid off. The eiken test is an English proficiency test. 31 out of 40 students passed and the students that did fail are the ones who didn’t come to practice!
