I had decided to take Keio University's entrance exam, but still feeling a lingering attachment to the arts, I also wanted to apply to Tokyo University of the Arts, also known as Geidai. The painting department seemed like it would be a bit difficult for me, so I decided to take the test for the crafts department.
I had eight months to prepare. I managed to get through to the second round of testing, but unfortunately the next exam date was the same as the test for Keio.
