9 things. 「九つ」

Being as it’s never too late to set yourself some new tasks and goals, although I have never been one for new years resolutions I feel like I should really set some goals this year, so i’ll just call it my things to do list… I just hope this list serves to motivate me as well as being a reminder, rather, I will use this list as a reminder and will get things done.

The list, right now i’ll just list the main ones, there are bound to be other things that surface throughout the year that need to be put on this list.

• Japanese – After being on and off with learning japanese for the last few years, I stopped with the excuses and got my ass in gear, with insight from a friend who read a specific method of learning Japanese from the website alljapaneseallthetime.com. after giving it a good read over I thought I would give it a go as much of the methods he wrote about just seemed obviously simple, so at more or less the same time we began on our journey into learning japanese. Begining with the book “Remembering the Kanji, Vol. 1: A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters” which contains 2042 Kanji. Once this was completed after approximately 5 months, which would have been done quicker if i’d have stuck to my initial 25 per day instead of slacking at weekends, but thats a lesson learned. Kana was next and finished them fairly quickly and easily after the kanji. Now i’m on with sentances, more on those later.
• Weight Training – Again, this is something I get into then pack it in suddenly after about a month. Though I intend to stick it out this time, currently training 4 times a week. More in detail on this at some point soon.
• Healthier Lifestyle – Linked to the above really, but i’m pretty much all over this one already.
• Save – Enough to get to Japan for a year on a part-time working visa, to have plenty of spending money and hopefully get a job and stay there, but we’ll see what happens with that when we get there in a few years.

Well thats about it for now, i’m sure that i’ll be updating this at some point in the future with some more things that I intend to get done.
