Curse this stupid exam, why must it have a video recording in addition to being a written exam,
“showing your communication skills is more important than it being anonymous”
it doesn’t make sense, we already did that agh,

  • Finished Frieren 3
  • Started trying to read a sengoku time travel story but gave up, I could barely understand Nobunaga and this would be at least on par with Dungeon Meshi in difficulty. (So I read everything available in English instead)
  • Poked a bit at Magiluminere, I think I could manage it but it would take some time. Not sure if I want to try it during my next ‘free space’ or not.

I feel very silly. How do I do my first post about what I’ve read? I can’t find how to add a post to the thread.

@clogva1 this post I’m replying to has a bunch of formatting tips. But I don’t think there are strict rules here, so format the way you want.

Thanks. I just don’t even know how to start the reading log. Is there a button to click to make a new post in a thread rather than replying to a user? I’ve been using computers since the late 1980s, but this is the first forum where I can’t find the plus button to add a new post under a topic lol

The blue reply button at the bottom is to the thread, and the gray reply button on each post is for user specific replies. Also this forum uses Discourse so you can google a bunch of “how do I X in Discourse” for generic help (which I do every time I have a niche formatting question)

pg 116-135 of ガリレオ and finished case 2! this went in a more predictable direction than the last one but was good fun so it’s all good. i’ve been telling my parents (who like crime dramas) about each case as i’ve been reading them and my dad basically nailed the how for this one, so we’ll see how he does on the next one :joy: there’s a kind of rube goldberg feel to how some of these cases happen tho

today’s nhk article was this one, plus appendix 1 in aDoIJG

words that stood out: new kanji edition

鸚鵡返(おうむがえ)し - parroting back, repeating another’s words (like a parrot)
閃光(せんこう) - glint of light
碍子(がいし) - insulator (for electricity)
痙攣(けいれん) - spasm, convulsion. i think i’ve seen this before but the kanji trip me up every time
避雷針(ひらいしん) - lightning rod. makes sense!

Not too much time to read today, but I did read a little from Kuma bear. A little is better than nothing!

Read 3 Tadoku books, they’re a lot less interesting than the book club books but at least I don’t really have to look anything up. I’d quite like to finish them though so I might power through and see if I can finish the rest of L3 today. L4+L5 will probably be left until next reading challenge perhaps

Edit: It has been done, some skimming was involved in places

Well, I think I read more due to being stuck in my hotel room, but am feeling quite miserable with Covid this morning. Hopefully will feel better in a few days. Supposed to fly home on Sunday/ Monday.

Another… day? another volume of 放浪息子。Yesterday’s volume ended up on another cliffhanger, and コツ was having server issues, so I ended up reading volume 10 of 放浪息子 for 2 manga volumes in 2 days/
