Dawn of the Second Day
Dec. 2nd, 2009 08:01 amSo I got the new book yesterday morning. I've been doing the work, and I'm currently on exercise 9 out of 24. My initial goal was to do at least five exercises per day (a goal which I'm almost surpassing at this point), but here's the thing.
I made that goal during the first four exercises, which were much simpler. Almost everything in those first few exercises was stuff I already knew. But the further I go along, the more stuff I don't already know pops up... and the less sustainable my current pace becomes.
My time is limited, so it seems almost stupid to be worrying about going too quickly, but... it's becoming harder to memorize all the new material. I keep having to stop and backtrack to review material I've already gone through in order to remember it, and it's really starting to worry me. Will I be able to retain all 200 kanji for the test?
The only solution I can think of is to slow down. But that in itself worries me, because time is running out!
Ugh... I've got time yet, I suppose. We'll see how this goes.
