So in typical spring/summer fashion, leaving the windows open has invited in the itty bitty insects.
I wonder if I’ll wake up with mosquito bites tomorrow…
I’m trying to keep a schedule of four lessons into mnemoyne per day, but that’s to varying degrees of success… I still have two to go for today, for example, and it’s pretty late already. I can finish in a little over three weeks and actually start memorizing things properly (although I’ve already remembered loads by inputting so much as it is, kind of crazy).
I did make the amazon.co.jp order I was contemplating before, with the addition of the K-ON! OP/ED singles because I never buy CDs anymore…
So, once kanji has been solidified, it’s on to grammar and test-specific-prep. If I had the time, I might aim for 2級 first to get experience but as it is I really need to shoot for the top before the changes are implemented. If I fail I’m only out the money & time to take the test, which is exactly what I’d be out taking 2級 anyway, and still be stuck trying to figure out how the hell to study for a test that hasn’t been sat yet.
I’ll probably attack parallel parking this weekend, at least a bit. No matter what ends up happening for the test, I have to know how to pp anyway so there’s no use in not practicing. I can three-point easily only because I did it about a hundred times so logically pp should be the same…
It’s not like I’m not smart, I just don’t put any effort into things. (years of public school that was too easy kind of trains you this way, somehow… ) So, if I just shut up and do it there’s no problem.
Randomly, I feel like practicing French again, but that’s a Bad Idea, let’s not mix languages…
not to mention all the Korean I keep exposing myself to.
So far I think I’ve picked up “hello” “thank you” “I’m sorry” “I love you” (although I knew that before… I know that in several languages, somehow…) and can tell when someone’s being polite or not… possibly. I couldn’t romanize any of those phrases, however, because korean romanization is bizarre and I don’t actually know how they’re written in hangul (which is something else that breaks my brain).
I can study random languages to my heart’s content once I get the JLPT out of the way… XD
