I'm not very good at updates







sorry I have been neglecting this so much. I guess my mindset is if I have time to write blogs, I'd rather use it to study. As of now I've been very regimented on myself and have been trying to keep to 50 kanji per day and I've completely stopped doing smart.fm after item 600. It's been hard, and somewhat unpleasant at times. So I wouldn't recommend the load to anyone unless they're trying to meet some deadline or know they have the ability to keep their spirits high as it is very important to not hit a frustration wall that can turn a short break into a long break into losing sight of the goal altogether.

as of today I can write and identify at least one meaning of 1250 kanji! It's pretty cool that I know most of the kanji in stuff I see now. still a couple of steps away from actually understanding what is written, but a good start nonetheless. Keeping at my current pace I should be able to finish the RTK1 list in 16 days when I only have 32 before I leave!

For people who are interested I've been using anki which gives some nice graphs showing my progress. you can see things like fri/sat that have been skipped for more fun activities and Sundays where I have done extra cramming to make up for it. enjoy! note that I almost never click easy and that sometimes I'll leave anki open and forget about it, so a few of the review times as much greater than they actually were.
