Hello hello 
I definitely rambled too much in the Read Every Day Challenge thread, but the tl;dr is that I’m getting back into studying Japanese after about a decade of no studying. I took 3 years of Japanese at the college level, and I feel like I was at a lower intermediate level back then.
I’ve been surprised to find that Nihongo Con Teppei is a bit too easy for me, even after all this time! I’ve listened to the first 15 episodes or so and have comprehended basically all of it, which is great! I’ve also been rewatching Jujutsu Kaisen, which I think counts, even though I can’t listen intently for more than a few seconds without feeling like my brain is being squished. Gonna keep my eyes peeled for resources that I find useful and can hopefully up my comprehension.
I don’t think I can commit to December, but I’m going to do my best in October/November!

Listening Log
October 1 - Nihongo con Teppei 16-17
October 2 - 23 minutes of this Unpacking video - very soothing!
October 3 - Finished the aforementioned Unpacking video, about 25 minutes.
October 4 - Didn’t make a lot of time for studying today, but I did watch one episode of JJK!
October 5 - Trying out a couple of other podcasts:
日本語の聴解のためのPodcast #1 - a bit advanced for me, but I understood most of those two minutes.
Oyasumi Japanese with Shun #1 - Self-introduction: Much more at my current level! I understood almost everything, even if some of the vocab comprehension came more from context than anything else. But I enjoyed this and would definitely keep listening for practice!
October 5 - Oyasumi Japanese with Shun #2
October 6-??? My family is in town and my studies have completely fallen off
