I have a statement due for my study abroad application, and if all goes well I should have it done before four o'clock. I'm wondering if people would be willing to look it over for me? I just need to be sure that there are no egregious errors and that I'm not going to die a slow and painful death from foreign country withdrawal. [Wink]

It's only 500 words, or it's supposed to be. I'm trying my best to keep it brief anyway. It'll be less than 500 words, I hope.

Anyway, email me at ryukochan (at) gmail (dot) com.

Just e-mailed ya.
Send it on over. [Smile]

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Thanks to all of you who offered!

My preliminary version is finished, and if anyone else has time to help I can send it out, just email me at the address in my first post.

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

Just sent another e-mail, because I can't open attachments due to Java problems. You'll have to send it in the body of the email.

Did my editing show up okay?

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Yes! It was very helpful. I was about to send you something saying so, but I got kicked out of work first.

Am I too late to help?

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

No, definitely not. (Sorry, was studying for the cumulative Japanese test I have tomorrow.. たいへんですよ！)

If you want to email me, feel free. I have it down to 502 words right now, due to the great help I've gotten from the good people here, I could always use another few eyes to help me cull those last two words and tell me where I make no effing sense.

Oh my I love the font they have for Japanese on this board.

アッビはとってもいちばんすてきのですよ！！

Hahaha. [Big Grin]

Err... I must not have the japanese font? Because all I see are little boxes.

Yeah, there were a couple of weird characters in the text, but I got the gist of it. I suppose you should check the final print version, but I would imagine your computer renders them correctly, and you were probably going to do that anyway. What word processor are you using?
