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！
