This should be my last sick diary. I'm feeling a ton better. I'm still coughing and my breathing isn't perfect yet, but I'm not stricken with vomiting every time I forget to take some ibuprofen. I'm also making it through a full night's sleep again. All in all, I'm back ...

I'm up early, and I don't feel sick. Though, I am paranoid that at some point I will start feeling sick again. So, I'm taking some ibuprofen anyway, just in case. We'll see how I feel in the morning, but right now it's looking pretty good. Days left until the JLPT: ...

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

This is the first day in a long time that I've felt really engrossed in studying. I managed to finish reviewing sentences in a quick fashion, and so that leaves time for entering a bit of new material and some real Japanese input. Mother 3 here I come. Days left until ...

I finally got back to adding new kanji this week, and so the numbers are a little ridiculous today. I ended up adding 200 kanji across 3 days according to the loose rules I follow. I had less than 50 failed kanji 3 days in a row, and so I ...
