Language Journal: September 17th 2018
Finished volume 1 of 日常. It is pretty good. It makes for some good sentences for my flash cards as there are some good one-liners which don't need additional context to make them funny/memorable.
With that done, I'm mostly caught up well before the second box should arrive. I should have a few days to finish volume 2. Though, that won't really leave me with time to re-read anything.
I don't feel great about my progress. I get stuck A LOT. And I don't feel like my comprehension is really all that great. But, I'm trying not to worry about it at the moment. I really did get derailed by getting two boxes within about a week. It amounts to probably 800-1000 pages of foreign language material in a month.
Now, that could definitely end up being a common thing. I mean, there is really no guarantee every second box won't get stopped in customs for a few weeks. So, just being able to get through them at any pace feels like a victory.
Anki is going well also.
Brain feels non-functional right now. While I was on a work trip I basically started cutting back on eating to see if it would help my heartburn. It did wonders. I knew I was always over eating. The intention was never initially about losing weight, but now I'm also trying to get back to a healthier weight. Normally, it is just a feeling of hunger. This time it is a bit light headed. So I think I need to end this and grab a bite.
