Thank you all for your advice. I did 30 minutes yesterday, and I’m doing my 30 minutes for today, and hopefully I’ll keep this up. Meanwhile, I’ve set a reminder for every day of the year on my iPod and on this alarm clock thing I have on my computer to tell me to do it everyday. College is over in less than 3 weeks, so I’m putting a lot more effort into my Japanese now. Our year had a motivational speaker who came in to talk about striving for what you desire, and I feel really motivated and inspired thanks to him.
Thanks Reiden for the tips, and I’m going to try your advice and see if it works. Thanks missingno for the links, they convinced me to keep going. Thanks Z-Man, for suggesting the Anki, which I will do from now on (back in May I don’t think there was anki, but that was probably just me slacking off). Thanks for the lesson Carly, it helped a lot. Thank you Michael for the wake up call, because Japanese is an awesome language, and thank you for encouraging me to stick with it. And thank you Koichi and everyone else involved in making TextFugu, I cannot tell you how grateful I am that there is other self-learners out there willing to share their knowledge.
P.S. I suggest checking out that motivational speaker we had today, Sam Cawthorne. He really is an inspiration.
