6WC runs for 6 weeks. That's 42 days. 42 days is 42 x 24 hours.
It starts 1 second before Friday, 1st August, 2014 00:00:01 (00h 00m 01s)
It ends 1 second after Thursday, 11th September, 2014 23:59:59 (23h 59m 59s)

I didn't notice that today's already the 43rd day, and have still been posting to the bot. Need to undo them now. I wonder if that would change my ranking? :)

That's what I thought. I just thought it was weird that nobody mentioned anything about
the challenge being over, it made me unsure ;) I didn't post to the bot today, just to be
sure. So challenge's over then :)

I logged 233 total hours and came 3rd. I logged 274 and 267 hours in previous challenges, so I'm not happy. I blame it on the rain - been raining for weeks, and I haven't been able to walk or garden, which would've contributed to my #listening.

However, with my target language, I achieved my goal below, although I only came 41st there. Turned out it only takes days instead of weeks to achieve :D

Here in Australia there are Portuguese documentaries on TV with English subtitles, and I want to be able to follow along, hear the keywords, notice the cognates, etc. I will be using NHK newscast every day. 6 weeks of that should get me there, since I already speak Spanish.

NHK Portuguese


Edit 30-Oct-2014: Later realised that I came 3rd instead of 2nd.

If you look for a second in target-language studies, that'd be me :)
And honestly I am not satisfied with that having got appetite during the past weeks. I had no idea how would I go, but when it was clear that I can compete, I could only aim for the win.
As for if I had achieved my goals... I was curious how far I can get, and next time there shall be goals.

I ended up in 13th place for my target language, Tagalog (I didn't track Spanish).

51 hours and 19 minutes.

I'm happy with that!
