Scaling the 1569 review mountain Epilogue - Four Months Later

I put off WK until late in the night and then when I started, I didn’t feel like doing it and stopped early. I’m hoping to do a lot better starting tomorrow. I did manage one burn tonight anyway though.

I decided to finally get serious today and set a goal of doing 100 reviews a day, which took me half an hour this evening. To be fair, I was going slow to try to avoid making unnecessary mistakes, especially on burn reviews. It should naturally get a lot faster over time as more and more of the reviews are items that I already missed coming back up for review.

Anyway, WK says I have 40 “Recent mistakes”, implying a new high of 60% accuracy today, so I guess being extra careful paid off. I also burned 16 items today.

Today, it took me “only” 27 minutes, though accuracy was also lower, at only 55%. It looks like I had 19 burns today.

白結晶騎士団員達の壮行会的なものが終わっていつも通りにレキ君ルームに帰ろうかと思ったが今着ているのは壮行会用のおめかし衣装だ。

壮行 (sendoff) is a word I missed on Wanikani last week, so it was kind of cool to see it come up in the wild.

Looks like I missed 15/33 tonight.

I was exhausted this evening, but forced myself to do the full 100 reviews anyway, missing 46.

One embarrassing bit: For months or even years, I’ve had trouble mixing up 免れる/逸れる. The mnemonic I came up with is that the “s” in “soreru” is for “scooter”.

However, that completely failed tonight when 逸れる came up for review, I stared right at it, and thought to myself “there’s no scooter, so it must be manugareru”. :man_facepalming:
