Hello, oh lovely followers of my Japanese learning journey ^-^
Iβm very apologetic about my lack of updates over the past five weeks and Iβm sorry to say that I did not do any studying or reviews over that time. The new World of Warcraft expansion came out and as Iβm an office in a raiding guild, I had to make myself busy doing all the things I needed to do to get my character and the rest of the guild ready for the raid tier to start and then for progress through that. Thatβs probably a really hard thing to understand if youβre not an MMO player, but suffice to say that thereβs 19 other people in our progression raiding team and I have a certain responsibility to them to do my best.
Iβm now on Christmas break from work (campus is closed for two weeks) and and from raiding (we always take a winter break) and so Iβm going to try and get caught up as possible. The only downside is that the nursery is also closed for a week and my wife has a horrible cold, so Iβm looking after my son constantly of late. Iβm doing my best do keep him occupied (if you follow the POLL thread, youβll have seen my four baking attempts with him, haha) and this doesnβt leave all that much time for anything else.
Iβm very thankful to everyone who carried on prodding me to get back on my reviews and Iβm going to do my best to start doing that properly. Iβve got a massive stack built up, because I forgot to put vacation mode on, but itβs not the largest pile of reviews Iβve ever tackled, not of lessons, so Iβll be doing my best to get this down. If I can do a regular 200 or so a day from now on, I should be able to get back on lessons in a week or two and then resume my 7.5 day levelling up routine that I was doing so well at for weeks.
Just to visualise how things have been affected thus far by my lapse, my rise on WaniKani Timemachine has properly plateaued at 3507 items learned:
My very good run of 7ish day streaks, as shown on WKStats has ceased:
On the plus side, 39 days (so far) on level 24 is nowhere near the 210 days I spent on level 10 or the 66 days I spent on level 13. Overall, Iβm not all that far off track and I was never going to hit the Luminaries target anyway. I should still be okay to hit the Olympians target, I hope, all being well. Particular thanks to @saibaneko who has been giving my constant encouragement to get back to things!
