Yes, it just makes it more frustrating when I barely have time to do it 
I really do want to pick up reading manga and playing games in Japanese again, but that’ll have to wait until summer.

Short of one funny moment from the minecraft challenge. Kanae made mushroom soup to cover food rations, and suddenly a random player passes by, saying to himself that stew is nah. Basically acting as a random bullet out of the blue sky 
There’s also a summary vod (40min) of the first day.

・ChroNoir this week’s episode (21m)
・Minecraft challenge part 3 (3h 38m) Last part!
・Journaling to stop phone addiction, random video (13m) it cute, inspirational
Nice to rewatch Kanae conquer minecraft challenge. It’s satisfying to watch people who are skilled at what they do. He joined the server late and so he was the only one going solo, everyone else had formed parties of 4 and 5 people. Even then he defeated all the 8 bosses by himself. さすが叶さんだね
Time today: 4h 12m

Short Note About Passing Speaking Exam
I posted about this on the Speak Every Day Challenge, but I passed my Japanese placement test with flying colors! I skipped two prerequisite courses and the teacher thinks I honestly could’ve maybe skipped the 3rd level, but it’s required for the Japanese minor. Doing listening (mostly) every day since summer has surely helped me.
Anyway, back to listening every day. Which I’m close to having a perfect streak for Winter! I got two Bite Size Japanese videos in today, reflections on 2025 and goals for 2026.
About 36 mins of listening | Total so far: 43 hrs 58 mins
Side note about speak every day challenge:
Would anyone be interested in reviving the Speak/Write Every Day Challenge? I see that it used to be a thing until it finished with Spring back in 2025. I’d be willing to host it of course, since I suggested it. I know it’s kinda last minute though
I think you can make this one whenever you want as long as there isn’t one going on! The main ‘issue’ I guess with it is that not that many people tend to join, so if only one person ends up posting it gets a bit sad and lonely in there.
Oho! Very sudden! I’d like to join 
I’m thinking of journaling. I did one entry last night pen and paper after I saw the random youtube video I posted about yesterday.
I’ve been thinking on trying to improve my handwriting more and get used to writing Japanese, so I’d be interested in joining for the writing side!
I might just handwrite out a few sentences from the book(s) I’m reading in the challenges before trying to attempt my own stuff though

Not this year (got my hands full with WK, reading and listening goals) but I’m definitely wanting to do more on the production/output side next year. If you’re (still) running the challenge then, I’ll definitely join!
