**YESTERDAY**
-- Practiced writing characters by-hand 1 hour
-- Completed Pimsleur II track 27
-- Completed FSI Module 2 Unit 3
-- Completed Ch 32 of NPCR
My friends took me out to celebrate my past b-day. Got home too late to skritter or do more studying. But I got some done, and some is better than none.
**TODAY**
-- Completed Pimsleur II track 28, 29
-- Practiced writing by-hand 1 hour
-- Completed Ch 33 of NPCR
-- Completed FSI Module 2 Unit 4
-- Skritter 2 hours
I was in the mood to listen to The Offspring (or just music in general) and when im in these moods I do it all day. To keep myself productive while slacking I listened while Skrittering and writing characters by hand. I actually might have spent longer than an hour but I didnt keep track so yeah.

uhuh. We'll see about that ;)
Nah. But I think im mostly half-assing FSI for now. I only do C1, P1 and D1. I dont bother with the workbook, and I like listening to the tapes while I do my crosswords.
**TODAY**
-- Anki Reviews complete. Noticing myself answering the sentence flashcards a little easier now *yay*
-- Pimsleur II track 30 = Done.
-- Pimsleur III track 1, 2 = Done.
-- FSI Module 2 Unit 5 = done. Unit 6 C1 and P1 done but haven't done the drills yet.
-- Skritter 1 hour. Added 20 new words.
-- Watched Growing up with Chinese Lesson 44.
-- 30 mins Handwriting NPCR L34 dialogue. Almost caught up with the lessons so I can start adding NPCR words again.
I did a lot today considering how addicted I've gotten to this silly online rpg game called Fallen London. Its ridiculous how much time I've spent refreshing the page every 10 mins. teeehee.
*edit*
-- FSI Module 2 Unit 6 D1= complete and Unit 7 = Complete
I wasn't going to do anymore but I'm so addicted to this game, I thought, Instead of sitting around I might as well study some Chinese. xD

**TODAY**
-- Pimsleur III tracks 3,4 = Done
-- FSI Module 2 Unit 8 = Done. Still need to do the review tapes before officially completing Module 2. :)
-- Skritter for 40 mins. No new words
-- Anki reviews completed.
Wish I could have done more today than I did but some is better than none. I was beat after attacking my garden of doom (too many weeds for words). After falling asleep half way through the review tapes I decided to call it a day and save it for tomorrow.

I stopped using Anki because, honestly I felt like the deck I downloaded had wrong sentences and decided to create my own from the FSI tapes. I only added the 25 sentences from the review tapes (also about 28 from the second..). I hope this is useful. I'll add more as I go and see if these reviews help any.

Didn't do as much today because I spent most of my day reading. I have a book due from the library that I barely cracked open *oops*. I dont like returning books before I've finished them or else I never will. As a side note, I really enjoy the self-made Anki flashcards. I'm thinking about adding new cards per unit instead of just based on the end reviews but we'll see. Also.. I havent shadowed these two days which I regret. I think I'll start again tomorrow.

-- Completed Anki reviews
-- Listened & Read chapters 1-4 of Chinese Breeze's 向左向右。
-- Completed FSI Module 3 Unit 3 :D

My head really wasn't into studying today but I managed. Mostly passive. Admittedly my mind has been preoccupied these last two days on the results of the CSC scholarship. To avoid stressing I decided to make ice cream and read leisurely which is why I have so many tracks completed of pimsleur (I had a lot of mint to pick and sort out for the mint icecream xD)
