Re: Whatcha thinking about now?
Thanks Gleb. The next morning after I posted this, I was talking to JP about the potential benefits if I changed career and he actually said, 'don't get your hopes up too much'. JP said that!! He's the first person to say it, but now I'm sure it's not in my head that some people are doubting the possibility. Now I'm wondering.. is my Japanese worse than I think? Like, when I'm there chatting away, am I the only one who knows what I'm saying? ^^
I'm meeting with the girl who got the job in a few weeks, so I ca ask her for more information then. Depending on what she says, I might try to pick up some work sooner. I've been talking to a friend and she pointed out that using the fact I have to look up words, as an excuse not to do it yet is a bit dumb. After all, I'm already studying every single day before work. I'm studying words and grammar in case they come up when I'm translating. If I was already translating, I could be learning the words and grammar that do come up when translating.
She has a bloody good point.
