And it also happens to be the number of days in one year except in leap years, which have 366 days. It also happens to be the number of days I’ve now been in Japan.
Woosh… A year, huh. It feels exactly like I expected it to … went way too fast, did lots of stuff, but not by far all the things I wanted to do within that first year. I guess the whole economical crisis thing going on put a halter to things.
A lot of things, but I guess if I were to give Apr 5 2008-Apr 5 2009 a label, it’d be “Kanji Hell”. I spent way, way, way too much time studying kanjis. It became an obsession there at some point. Unfortunately for me, my vocab studies suffered for it, so now that I’m done with the kanjis that I had put up as a goal for myself (namely all the Jouyou kanjis), I will be focusing on vocab. Believe me when I say that I have a lot of vocabs that lay neglected.
Anyway, I’m still in Japan, unharmed but frazzled. 今年もヨロシクね！
Nice one Kalle, and even more so for making your way through all Jouyou kanji, that’s impressive!
I’ve mostly stopped my Japanese studies since finishing school, but I’m currently on a trip back to the UK, so once I’m back in Japan I’ll start it up again. But not hardcore.
Heheh, yeah, I see your point. I am totally going non-hardcore from here on myself. When’ll you be back in Japan?
Back at the end of April. As my other half quit her job we were able to come for a month this time, which is nice as it doesn’t feel so rushed.
Oh, yeah, I bet. It takes quitting to pull something like that off in Japan.
(I totally missed that you commented on my comment on your comment… I must’ve seen the notify for your comment thinking it was the notify for my own comment).
Wowww, I hate studying kanji. It never seems to linger in my mind long enough. I’ve been forced to study kanji ever since I was young, so I’ve got the basics here and there– but yes, since I attend a school where everything is taught in English, I have to admit that my Japanese is going downhill.
Regardless, my speaking is very good :3.
Good luck with the vocab!
