OK, huge motivation. I asked a friend to order an application for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, so now, I have to take it and study for it. Going for Level 1; I think I could do really well on Level 2, but Level 1 . . . I suck. Right now, I suck, in three months I’ll rock (-:.

So, I need to make a study plan.

Yesterday, I read a page out of a children’s guide to America. Today, I took a look at a practice test, and went through the first 20 questions, finding the furigana for the kanji (sigh . . . kanji). Kanji is a weak point. So, I went back to the kanji koohii site, and reviewed a little. On the plus side, I remembered about half of the kanji I reviewed. On the minus side, I forgot about half the kanji I reviewed.

Right now, the plan is to translate a little of the practice test each day, and review some kanji each day. If I learn/review 10 kanji a day, I’ll have 1000 kanji at the end of 100 days . . . which might add up to a little more, considering I’ve got some already.

(-: Also read my child’s permission form for a ECG. I pretty much rocked on that! But the chances of having an excerpt from an ECG permission slip on the test . . . not so great.

Ups and downs. Just gotta keep going.
