Ah yes.  So very true.  So far it’s been pretty good, but I expect there may be harder moments ahead.

I find weekends to be rough to concentrate on studying… things like family, kids, the house… you know, all non-Japanese stuff.  :)  I do try to sit down and do a little something every day though (kanji/vocab, grammar), even if it’s just for 10 minutes.  Gotta keep the brain working!!
