In about a week, I’ll be finished all of the new cards in Core 2000. I’m not going to keep updating about it here anymore. I need to be writing in Japanese on a regular basis so I’ll be doing that on Netlog (There’s one entry!) Need to get over sounding clever. Spending the rest of November with the JLPT stuff on jpod101. I feel like this test is either going to real easy and I’m worried for nothing or I will mega-bomb it and totally blank. Either way it’s kept me focused on studying so no regrets there. The blogging also helps. It’s my damn blog I can hijack it for whatever. It would be really easy to give up on the Anki right about now. Shit just piles up like crazy. I don’t think you can do more than 3 at a time and really be learning. I am just powering through all these new cards, it’s stuff I’m supposed to know already anyway. It really tricks you into thinking it’s going to easy when it starts out—I’m just saying this for the noobs—do not try to start 10 decks at once. And really, if you really are starting out, I don’t think self-teaching even saves you that much money. Go to a class, make some friends or something. I have just doomed myself with this thing, it’s ridiculous. でも。。。fuck it. It couldn’t have worked out different for me. I should have done something different 10, 15 years ago not last week. So whatever. Gotta keep focused on what to do right now. %
