nano update - day 6

So far, I'm off to a pretty good start. I've been consistently writing more than 1667 words a day, with about 3000/day over the weekend and 2000/day during the week. I'm about three days ahead so far, and I may be able to get another day ahead over the next weekend. And surprisingly, I'm only a day later turning in my homework than usual ^^; Before, I would do my homework on the bus and during my breaks at school, but I've been writing during most of my breaks, which gives me a good 500+ words for when I get home to type it up.

I don't have the rushed feeling as much because my writing time is broken up by the rest of my day, so I don't feel like I have to get 2000 words in one sitting. I try to get about 500 in the morning at school and 500 before dinner, and then finish up with a thousand before bed, which has been working out pretty well. Before, when I got a day ahead, I would use that as permission to give myself a day off from writing, or from writing as much, but this time, I'm trying to keep up my pace of 2k words a day and just finish early to give myself more time to study for the JLPT at the end of the month.

And somehow, I may actually have a chance of passing...? My grammar's gotten better, I think. I still can't figure out how to learn all the kanji and vocabulary I need to know, but if I do well enough on the other sections, I can maybe make up for it. Although I'm not doing as well on the listening as I'd like in order to use it to make up for my kanji and grammar... ><;
