Study Log of Madness

For this week, I want to push myself to do readings so I placed a tall order to finish Week #4 of CCS ABBC this week. Hopefully this would be doable!

Today, we have three versions of the cockroach which has evolved elegantly in one day.

Oct. 21, '24:

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and in the evening - I had two mistakes today and these were: 出す - i got the reading but forgot the meaning, and 私立 - mistook it for independence because of the 立 kanji :laughing:
  • Bunpro review today
  • Listened/Watched EP06-08 of Bungo Stray Dogs
  • No reading for today

Oct. 22, '24:

Today is probably the busiest I have been at work. Went home later than expected. The next few days are also like that. :sob:

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and in the evening - it was literally just morning and evening - didn’t do reviews in between
  • Only managed to study 10 new vocabs. I checked out the next 10 but my eyes are going to close already.
  • Bunpro review today
  • Listened to some Japanese songs (Japanese covers of English songs)
  • No reading for today either

Oct. 23, '24:

Today is still purely WK lessons and reviews. Couldn’t squeeze in reading or listening because I was on a meeting the whole day (so mentally exhausting!). If I were able to do the radicals/kanjis on the first day, today would have been the level up day. Tomorrow is the official level up day and it’s still within the 7-day level up so I think it’s still a full speed.

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and in the evening
  • Bunpro reviews
  • Managed to study 20 vocabs tonight. They were all related together and it was a bit easy to take them in. Thank the Userscript gods for creating the Better Lesson Picker!

Oct. 24, '24:

There’s a severe tropical storm passing through our country right now and it just did its landfall today. Now I can’t even get out of my apartment because the streets are flooded already. :melting_face:

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and in the evening
  • Today, I leveled up in the morning but I didn’t realize it until this evening because I was at the client’s place all day. While there’s a raging thunderstorm.
  • Bunpro reviews - only a few and I really should up the new bunpro lessons
  • No Cure Dolly, no listening, no reading :sob: I just want the weekend to come now
  • Only managed to do the radicals, and there were 20 of them!

Oct. 25, '24:

Not much done by today. I caught up on sleep after days of staying up late due to work since Monday. Then I caught a cold after braving a client visit during the landfall of the storm. Sometimes I don’t feel like our company values their employees’ safety. We still had to meed the client despite the inclement weather.

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and evening - although I made sure to study again the vocabs that I forgot. This review, I slipped a bit on the reading of 数学(すうがく) and instead typed it as すいがく. Water Academy? :laughing:
  • Bunpro reviews only in the evening.
  • Did passive listening with N5 listening practice on YT

Oct. 26, '24:

Today I was able to tackle the first batch of unlocked kanjis for Level 9 with considerable accuracy. The past few days really did a number on my schedule, but I hope I recover it on the next few days, considering there’s a looooong weekend coming. More time for Japanese!

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and evening - I didn’t have much on my apprentice queue so the reviews were few today
  • Did a total of 34 lessons today so I could catch up on the days that I slipped
  • Listening/watching for today is EP09-EP10 of Bungo Stray Dogs
  • Bunpro reviews and a rewatch of Cure Dolly EP on は particle
  • Did an early Kana Quiz session

Oct. 27, '24:

  • WaniKani reviews in the morning and evening
  • Did 30 vocab lessons which finishes the level 8 vocabulary :partying_face:
  • Re-read Week 3 as a whole and found recently learned words like

高校 同じ お兄さん お父さん 2年生

Also encountered 怪獣 which I remembered from Kaiju No. 8 anime. It was like an Aha! moment lol. Speaking of, I haven’t been updated with it.

  • Managed to read 4 pages of Week 4 and I noticed that the 封印 vocab has come up around 3x so maybe it’s a sign to learn this now.
  • Did Kana Quiz
  • No listening for today
  • Bunpro reviews
