Another part of it (for me) is that most ads have nothing to do without whatever I'm trying to engage with. I get it was the same with TV commercials, but now it's somehow gotten more intrusive.

Commercials/ads can be cool too if designed well, but they all feel the same to me now and push me away rather than pull me in.

Seconding Sumatra after a friend had recommended it to me.

Almost no delays/lags in opening files or in scrolling through pages. Absolute game changer after the headache Adobe Acrobat had been giving me.

Supervisor: You don't have the same spark you had when I observed your lessons before.

(Me: I dunno. I'm overworked and underpaid working for a BOE that won't even give us full-time contracts. You tell me what I should make of it.)

Maybe I could do kindergarten again...? I like the energy of little kids (even if it does take a lot of me).

I guess I just have to buckle down and see what's available right now. My latest resume's apparently only two years out of date, so less to update than I initially feared.

Have you tried taking a practice test? I found that to be an okay way to gauge if I was ready or close to ready to take the test. It can also help train you to get used to seeing the kinds of questions the test may throw at you.

It wasn't offered in Pittsburgh at the time, so I had to go to D.C.(?) to take the JLPT 2012~2013.
