I am going to take up Japanese Proficiency Test on December 2008. We have an hour a day training in the office from mon - fri. We ar currently in lesson 7 of 12 Genki I. I believe we have to finish 11 more lesson of Genki II to be able to take Level 3. Do you think I can make it to level 3? I hope you answer based on experience in this matter. Thanks!

Would you go out alone to clubs, pubs, parties, on a Saturday night? Let's say for example you go to a club on your own (Because for some reason all your friends were busy that night and you really feel like going out). Would you just stay in a corner with a drink and watching people, or would you go and try to talk to people and try to dance with them? if feels a little awkward, what what would you do in that situation alone and in a club??

My dad bought me a horse about 2 years ago. And I loved horses when he bought it for me. I made him get it. Lol. But I haven't rode in almost a year. I don't like horses anymore. Im 13. But everytime my dad calls I tell him I've been riding. I want him to be proud. I tell him I'm gonna be in rodeo and everything else. But I don't like horses! I hate riding! I can't tell my dad that I want to sell my horse. He's spent so much money already and it will just break his heart if he finds out I don't like to. I have other hobbies. It's like he dissaproves of me doing other things. But I can't help it. I like other things, not riding horses! I dont know what to do. I don't wanna break my Dads heart, but I don't wanna continue doing something I'm not even intersted in. If you've ever heard that song Perfect by Simple Plan. That's exactly what my life is like. I'm so confused right now!! Help. Any advice on what to do?

I just updated my player to Windows Media Player 11 and whenever I play an mp3 or wma file it works for about 6 to 10 seconds then it automatically stops and download a codec, it prompted to install "Windows_Media_Player_Flash_codec.exe" but my anti-virus detects it as a virus (trojan to be exact). I tried to ignore it and continued w/ the installation (seems okay), I re-opened the file and still it stops again by a few seconds and download the same codec/plug-in. I tried to open the files in Winamp and iTunes and the wma files worked but the mp3s sounded really bad. My mp3s are about 4 GB in size and it'd be a hell of a time to download them again. Can I do something about it without downloading new ones?
