Japanese at Sheffield

I rang Rick way too late with my sad tale but got accepted
I now love him forever

arg what did ya say...got a feeling that somehow that my phone is gunna be in use come august

I hope they will let me in with AAC as opposed to ABB

I'm sure you'll be fine
I basically said how I applied for all the wrong things but I have always harboured a love for japanese and I would decline all my offers for university:"Sheffield"

Thank you very much for replying jaybones and Keiron, it's much appreciated.

I feel slightly relieved! Just need to keep on trying my best to boost up my grades, learning japanese is a huge distraction though heh.. Hopefully I'll be able to write a great personal statement (thankfully there's lots of extracurricular activities for me to write about). Any tips where the personal statement is concerned? I've had a hard time finding example japanese personal statements..

Yep, I'll be applying to start in September 2010.

KursedEG, hello

I going to reinforce what Jaybones mentioned. Flip the birdy at a BBD, study solid and I'm sure you will churn out some A's and B's.

My short story is, I studied a National Diploma Music Technology as my Major and Japanese as a minor @ College. For my major, I was predicted a triple Pass in my first year. I decided that I didn't want none of that, so logged off facebook, turned off the XBOX, studied hard and got a Distinction-Distinction-Merit (equivalent to AAB/320+ UCAS points), totally proved them wrong. Unfortunately I applied for BA Japanese way past the deadline so I got rejected.
So I contacted SEAS and told them my sob story and how I was coming back to take over SEAS and a "please accept me next year, please please please" lol. I think it was Rick Siddle who I later met up with that said, "aww what a sad story, but how about chill out for a year, go to Japan and relax, come back and sumbit your UCAS application nice and early, making sure you nail your personal statement boy!"...so I did

My personal advice, if you really want it, never give up! Even if it means doing something else for one year to get there. Ace the personal statement and submit it nice and early. If you have not already, attend an open day. Tons of information and motivation after you leave an open day..or in my case two open days.
You can do it!



I'll be there from 21st July until September the 4th. I'll be stay be staying in Sakai City again but will most likely use and abuse a J.R Rail pass as usual. I think Fran is coming out mid august for a few weeks too. What you thinking, you wanna meet up out there?

私が成城大学で勉強したい理由はたくさんあります。まず第一に、日本における日本語話者と話すことを通じて、私の日本語を上達させるだけではなく、日本の文化や社会の理解も高めたいからです。ですから、その対話を通して、より明確に、日本の日常生活で使われる語彙が分かるようになると思います。従って、どんどん日本語能力が上達します。
成城大学の小人数教育や自由な校風によって、その目的が達成できると思います。そのうえ、成城大学のような国際的な大学で授業を受けることによって、卒業の後で就職に有利になると思います。そして、日本学を勉強している大学生、および日本文化に興味がある者として、日本の文学についての知識を増やしたいです。例えば、将来に、翻訳者として働き、村上春樹の小説を翻訳したいです。しかし、究極的に、留学する間、私の第一目標は日本語の発音や聞き取りの上達です。私が母国の大学に戻った後、成城大学で伸ばした能力が学業にも将来にも生かせると信じています。

I was wondering...

If summer, is mid August to early September, then yer I will be. When did you go last time? Keiron is too as said not long back. Party in Tokyo. Heard of a cool place called 'The Room' anyone? Apparently it's really cool but impossible to find.

Yamanote Line to Shibuya station. Hit the south exit and head over the bridge and at the bottom of the steps, there's a family mart on the right hand side of the street. About a short 5 minute walk to a small junction and The Room is across the road in the basement of the corner building. You'll know when you see it because of the red lantern which you cant miss.

1. You have a 40-credit dissertation rather than a 20-credit one, which means that it will be 15,000 words long rather than the 7,000 words of recent years, which we found made it more an extended essay than a dissertation.
