Heartbreak and Humiliation

I got caught up with a woman.... it was distracting and ended badly. Lets work on some Japanese!

Today I am going to work on the previously mentioned goals while watching Ouran High School Host Club. School starts tomorrow so this will be a good opportunity for me to get my head straight. Benkyo benkyo benkyo!

It is the morning.

If I do everything right I will be posting on a daily basis to chart my study time and efforts. Wish me luck!

Preface

I say month one because this is the first month I really dedicate myself to learning Japanese and working in Japan. The quote above the title is what inspired me to make this study regiment. The function of this blog is to keep track of, and chart my progress in attaining my goals.Benkyo Benkyo! Timoshii Ganbarimasu!
