The first half of my first semester of Japanese has gone by rather quickly. On one hand, I very quickly became comfortable with the flow of things, but on the other, I haven't been committing nearly as much effort to learning Japanese as I would like to. That's something I may never stop saying for anything I do, but I will at least keep these goals in mind for the remainder of the term:
Speaking
1) Attend Japanese table as often as possible.
2) Find opportunities to chat with friends in Japanese
Listening
1) Find some good anime series, and pay close attention to their speech
2) Learn the lyrics for all my favorite きのこ帝国 songs
3) Discover other cool Japanese bands
Reading
1) Continue to attend the reading club
2) Read random articles on Japanese online
Writing
1) Get into the habit of writing posts on my blog about the various things I come across
