Heute habe ich meinem erstem Universität-Examen ubergelebt! Ich glaube dass ich es
bestanden habe, aber man kann nicht sicher sein.
Für es zu vollbringen, gab es kaum nicht genug Zeit...
Jaja, es bleibt "nur" vier mehr...

Half-month evaluation:
Add a minimum of 310 Japanese flashcards and 165 German flashacards.
Have currently added 125 Japanese flascards and 72 German ones.
This means that I still have to add 185 (~12/day) Japanese cards and 88 (~7/day) German
cards.
I have promised myself to not add more than a few before the exams are over, so perhaps
I'll go on a huge anki binge again.
Write 4-5 lang-8 entries in both languages
I've written 1 in Japanese, but I've also written two log entries in Japanaese and one
log entry in German.
Read and listen to both - at least 15-30 min every day.
Usually an hour of each, with perhaps up to two in German.
Passing my exams. (The most difficult one here, I think.)
Well, still got four more exams. I think I managed to scrape a 50% on my first one. The
one tomorrow have I almost already passed (30-ish from coursework; exam counts 50%).
The ones I'm worried about are Circuit Theory (friday) and Physics (next Thursday).

It seems that your month is going smoothly. Apart from being busy with exams of course!
Anyway, continue like that and 期末試験、 最後まで頑張ってね!

At least one sentence was error fre.... oh comma...
Do anyone have any good advice on how to improve verb conjugation, etc.?
Thank you, by the way.
皆さん ありがとう!

Possible suggestion to work on verb conjugation:
Write a paragraph including dialogue (so you get the various forms of you, tenses, subjunctive, etc. in there). You could also use groups of verbs that fit a pattern such as the ones that use sein v. haben for past particple. Many verbs follow stem vowel change patterns (I think they are called ablaut patterns?) and many are similar to English (don't know about Norwegian, but I'm guessing it could also be true). You can find these in tables. For example:
i>a>u or o: beginn, begann, begonnen/singen, sang, gesungen/trinken, trank, getrunken
If your mind works that way, just learning the patterns via anki might work, too. Of course there are lots of exceptions, but this might help.

Thank you. :) I was more worried about gender and kasus mixups and stuff like that.
I actually considered making a "gender deck", but decided against it. For instance:
Front: Märchen
Back: Das Märchen
etc.
I think I should do what's been working in Japanese, which is lots of exposure; I do
about 1 hour of listening in both languages every day, as well as some reading in each.
Hopefully I get more time when the exam chaos is over.
Speaking of which, my exam on friday was postponed because of snow. I personally think
it is pathetic, but it saved my grade in that subject so I won't complain. :)
My next exam is on tuesday (an easy one), and the last is on Thursday (I THINK I can
pass it...)
And then I get a week of Japanese and German fun with some relaxed reading for the last
one around 4-5 february.
One thing I need to work on is to procrastinate more in my target languages rather than
on here. :p
