REALLY quick post before bed...
I did more hiragana practice (translating to romaji then translating back to hiragana from a book). Much faster now.
Didn't do any smart.fm today...eh, it's ohkay. I made two new smart.fm lists. That's kind of like studying smart.fm.
Also as per TextFugu's recommendation I started a vocabulary list for a "passion." I was going to make a naginata list but...most of those words are already Japanese. Anyway, I decided not to do naginata and chose to make a vocabulary list for bouldering. It's not a passion...but it's an interest that I'd like to pursue. So I've come up with a new reason to get better at Japanese and it is: I want to be able to make friends and learn how to boulder with them!
Another reason to learn Japanese also came up: I want to enjoy myself more at のみかい (drinking parties) and be able to partake in conversations in Japanese. There is an upcoming のみかい with my BJJ club. It should be fun even with my poor Japanese (especially? with my poor Japanese) but I would like to impress the dudes a little!
Today I had to private lessons (English lessons for kids). Had to use some Japanese with the first kids because they speak barely any English. I count that as my "Japanese for the day."
OH! I also filled in my studying calendar AND figured out how to sync it directly into my iPhone's calendar using CalDAV. I didn't have to download a separate app and that makes me happy!!!
Ugh...so much work to do! But still feeling motivated! がんばります！
