I did the JLPT today. I felt very out of place and that, coupled with the fact that I ended up having very little time to (read: was too lazy to) prepare or practice and so went there unsure if Japanese self taught from internet radio and old novels would carry over, made me really wish I hadn't bothered. Also I was (am) ill and extremely tired.

However it was saved from being completely shitty by an unexpected VIP moment in the listening test, with a final question that was clearly about giant robots and even involved a girl named Asuka.
