Ah, sweet sweet level 60 cake.
Oh, I have.
And it has only taken me
TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED THIRTY THREE DAYS
I figured this would be one of those things I always mean to but never do. In the past few years, I’ve gone through some pretty awful stuff, ending in a mental breakdown in the middle of last year. But then @irrelephant had a terrific idea of racing from Hobbiton to Rivendell, and then on to the fires of Mount Doom, and that, combined with a hefty amount of talking to other friends on here, helped me get out of my slump! <3 So, thank you!
Here are some other screenshots of my journey:
(you can see where I relaxed for a whole month following the JLPT N2 in July of 2018, and when my grandmother died in April of last year.)
Lastly, I’d like to thank everyone at Wanikani and Tofugu for creating not only the best program out there for learning kanji, but for also developing such a safe and friendly environment
Also, this is definitely not the end of me being here. I still have a TON of reviews to get through and burns. Honestly, I’d like to go through it all again, but as it took me three years to get the shiny badge, I’ll wait until the Wanikani team make it so those who’ve gotten to level 60 in the past have a differently colored badge, or something.
I’d also be interested in trying to get as low as level seven, or even level six, in the kanji kentei. I’ll definitely post about it here if I ever get around to trying it!
This has been your host, elbereth00. Thank you for staying with us, we are signing off to eat some cake.
My close friend died that same month last year so major empathy there. I literally reset WK at lvl 34 afterwords because I felt like I had to reset my life lol
It’s amazing how you pushed through despite going through rough times. I’m always fascinated to see what our human brains are capable of achieving if we just work for it. Very very well done 
them all!
