It isn’t that dramatic, but I will never say no to a hug. I guess I’ve just lost a bit too much of my carefreeness. And possibly through that a bit of my every day joy, but I think I want to make it my mission to bring that in again. (At the same time as I’m doing many other changes… Ah… things go slowly but surely in the right direction.)
Thank you. I have done the reassessment even if I come back to it in small amounts regularly. Trying to get to that place where I want to be but not sure at all how I will finally get there. But there are just a lot of messy emotions that like to sashay onto the scene regularly to see if they can pull me off somewhere else. And sometimes they show me where I am letting myself down or not going for what I really want.
At least, I’m mostly past the existential crisis and I hope it will be at least a decade before that becomes a Thing again, never would be even better though. >_>
Which Brene Brown talk? I’ve seen a couple of hers, but I can’t remember one about spiritual awakening/life crisis.
If I recall correctly, the cloud radical is a boob radical with an extra stoke on the top.
I don’t see any synonyms on the item pages (?) But even if it is a synonym it is not the same, not the same…
I also levelled up, yay. But now I have 190 lessons and 370 reviews waiting for me…
I’ll keep going at this speed for as long as I can but I think I might have trouble keeping up the pace after a while. Or who knows, maybe when things calm down after the JLPT next week things will be easier since there will be more time to focus on kanji again.
Thank you. Yes, I will be going for N3 this time - I feel like working towards it has brought me a lot of progress in the last 6 months but I also can’t wait for it to be over and then take a break from JLPT preparation for a while.
I also have no idea where those lessons came from suddenly But since you brought it up, I looked it up: I was at 0/0 8 days ago for level 34. But then I must have slacked off on vocab lessons for a while so I have lessons from more than one level staring at me. I didn’t even realize that I had not made it to 0/0 for level 35. I’ll go and stand in a corner and feel a little guilty until I’m back at 0/0.
That’s great. I think having a tangible goal like the JLPT, as well as a deadline, can be really motivational. Though all the preparation does sound exhausting. I hope it goes well!
Ahh, I see. But please don’t feel guilty! Frankly, I’m amazed you managed to keep up with WK when the JLPT exam is right around the corner. That’s impressive! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
And it will probably depend on one’s individual personality but, I agree, the JLPT and having a deadline can be a good motivator. I know that in the end we are all here to learn a language but I think it is fun having measurable goals like reaching WaniKani level 60 or the N1 at some point. And being able to do that together with a group of nice people who are learning the language is great to
100% agree! I’d like to consider taking the JLPT as well (keeping one eye on the JLPT 2019 thread - I liked your comment about the grammar “cheat sheet”), perhaps when other aspects of life calm down a little bit.
Your schedule is AMAZING!!! I wish I was able to achieve something like that、but it’s not going to happen. Lol. I’m happy with how I’m going. My slowest level thus far has been 10 days. That’s not too bad for someone with a kid and a job!
Thanks. That’s really nice of you to say!
Before I returned to work from maternity leave 、I was doing levels at maximum speed、 around 7 days、8 days at the slowest! Now that I’m working 、I can’t always do my reviews when they pop up and that delays up level ups… It also makes me forget things sometimes bc I’ve missed the optimum SRS timing.
That said、 I am pretty proud of my pace and being able to keep up with WK. I really love doing it.
Wow, I’m already at my limit with my job and learning Japanese which takes up almost all my free time. I can not imagine doing all of this with a young kid at home. I think 10 days is already a super fast pace if you don’t have the luxury of having a lot of free time and a flexible schedule. Hats off to you!
