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”.

Time increased to 25 minutes today. I missed 45%.
醜い came up for review and I immediately thought “hidoi” and missed it. All those similar-looking words are so annoying.

The fact that so many items are things I just failed coming back up for review is starting to really kick in. Today it took me “only” 21 minutes and I missed 32 (68% accuracy).

Missed 31/100 today. That includes a burn review for 却下 that I missed because I put “refusal” while Wanikani expects “rejection”. 
Of course, such is a fact of life with WK and all you can do is add a synonym for next time, but it’s still frustrating when it happens.

Looks like I missed 36 today. And that’s despite them now mostly been items that I already reviewed and missed last week.

P.S. One of the words I missed this evening on WK was 搭載, and literally as soon as I start doing my reading tonight, what do I see?

It feels like I’m getting close…
though realistically, it will take a long time to mop up the Apprentice items and keep the review count at 0.

It’s funny how with so few reviews remaining and me doing 100 reviews a day, you’d think I’d be done in no time. But so many of the items are Apprentice and just come back up for review again the next day. It’s probably still going to take a couple weeks to actually finish for good.

Review count goes up by one, review count goes down by one…
Also managed one last burn this morning. I doubt there are any more burn reviews left for this round though.
