I thought I might also mention the more tangible “short-term” goal I’ve set myself.
In September of this year, I am going to be playing Pokemon Black or White, purely in Japanese, and I must finish it within the year. I haven’t yet decided what my punishment is going to be, but I want it to be more than something like “give this unrelated friend lots of money” or something.
If you guys have suggestions on what to do if I fail, or even what to reward myself with should I succeed, I’d love to hear it.
