Year 2013 Review

JAPANESE 1.0

• Learn the hiragana and katakana
• Finish Remembering the Kanji
• Learn to write notes with kana fast enough to keep up with my Japanese teacher
• Read through a manga in Japanese
• Learn to understand full content of one GACKT-interview without English subs
• Pass over the 3000 known words mark at LingQ
• Start writing one text per week at LingQ
• Pass the Japanese 25 credits university-course
• Install Skype, find a Japanese person to talk to, and start freaking talking in Japanese!
• Maintain 80-90% recalling rate at Anki-decks

(Comments: Well, I did manage to finish some of them...actually most of them it seems.  I started to study at polytechnic this autumn which has unfortunately limited my time and energy with Japanese. I'll be having compulsory Swedish this spring, so again I'll be limited. Oh well, I'll do the little I can.)

AKHSNIKA 1.0

• Maintain a gym program of 3 times a week
• Drop weight to <65 kg and maintain it
• Finish the rewriting of the Project and continue forward

(Comments: I quit the gym due to constant illness last winter. Weight is solidly around 66 kg which is okay I suppose. But hey, the re-writes are done!)
