300 day progress report: Great pace on the grammar. Doing multiple points some days, but taking breaks where needed to avoid mixing up similar points. Also good progress on vocab, adding words to my reviews as I run into them mostly with a bias towards N4 but not just doing N4 vocab in order

300 day streak. 143 out of 185 N4 grammar points learned. N5 is all done at 132/132. The other levels are empty300 day streak. N5 vocab maxed at 1100/1100. N4 sitting at 638/1095. N3 at 338/1998, N2 136/1998 and N1 211/2974. These are all noticeably up from my last status update 52 days ago.

Game plan: finish all N4 grammar by 1 year on Bunpro. This gives me 117 days to learn 114 more grammar points. This means I'll finish by October, a few weeks before heading off to Japan. I'm missing 689 N4 vocabulary so that's not happening in time, but that's ok! We'll see how far I get

Progress bars showing 132/132 grammar points done of N5 level and 71/185 of N4 level. N3, N2 and N1 are all empty

I wish my run today went better. And I'm not just talking about the tech issues but primarily my own performance during the run. There's a lot of factors at play here and I'm trying not to beat myself up because of it. But man, the more I think about it, I'm just disappointed

One thing I'm glad I've gotten better at is blocking people. I used to be scared to, or I'd have some morbid curiosity to see what kinda dumb things they'll do or say next. But actually no, life is better when you can just press the button and move on. Would recommend.

People really use genAI for goddamn anything these days. Watching a video about how to practice outputting in a different language without a conversation partner and the guy suggests to practice describing an image in your target language. Solid advice, but he uses AI to generate a picture for this?

watching SA2 Hero story runs tournament at SAESR and the amount of times runners just get absolutely fucked by Knuckles Emerald piece RNG keeps making me remember this old tweet

tweet by brandino59 @ bsky
SA2 speedruns are so funny because you’ll watch a runner play the most insane Sonic and Tails stages ever, and then Knuckles starts and they get a hint called “why did my wife leave” and immediately the runner’s face falls and all the light drains from their eyes and run is over
