But, all of a sudden, I am just in the mood to study.
I think it really helps that I have been hanging out a lot more (I am talking every weekend) with a friend lately who loves anime (more than I do). He prefers to watch the Japanese dub with English subtitles, so it makes me want to sit down and study a bit.
Then, I decided to catch up on all of the Youtube channels that I am subscribed to. Most of them are video blogs of people who are living in Japan, such as Kanadajin3, Jyuusankaidan, and HannahinJapana.
They are very motivational, because one of my goals is to live in Japan. I have sort of given up on it lately. I have just been too stressed to really be able to focus and crack down on myself. I hope to one day live in Japan and be fluent with Japanese.
I need to surround myself with more positive feelings, and trying hard to remind myself how much I love Japanese. Perhaps I will print off some photos of Japanese things that I love, to remind me.
Sorry that this was essentially just a rant, but I think I have needed to vent for a while.
