When I watch TV Japan and can understand more every day. Or when I hear a new grammar phrase I just learned, that is very exciting for me.

you know you’re using wk when:
… you look at fanart and shout “COW!! COW!! it’s saying cow!!”
… you try to count days and stop as soon you reach eleventh day because you haven’t learned that yet. same goes for 11th+ things, big machines… 
… you write down your weak spot kanji (+ translation) on post-its and put them next to your work desktop, so you need to face your shame every 平日.
… you slowly understand some japanese name meanings (like 田中 or 愛子) and get jealous that in your language it’s so hard to tell the origin meanings of people’s names.

When you’re going on a trip and need to plan how you’ll do your reviews between flights. And then squeeze them in as you’re visiting with family. “Sorry family, I know I’m only here a week, but the Crabigator needs me. … Every hour of every day. GOODBYE”
((thankfully they’re very supportive and let me do my reviews in peace, haha))
