I’m a Neutrino kid and had been doing oh so well for the past 5 months or so. Then life kicked me in the balls as it is wont to do, and I’ve let things slide horribly for about a month, just about keeping up with kanji reps and that’s it, and I realised just now, that half the problem is that I stopped having fun.

Not for any REAL reason either, one minute I was loving it, growing constantly and getting a kick out of adding new MCD’s and learning to watch anime with only Japanese subtitles and then s##t happens (life) and suddenly I start losing ground and then comes the self-beration and “subtle self-bullying” and it becomes almost impossible to force myself to get going again.

And then I thought I’d come and read one of your blogs and now I feel better.

Thanks man! I feel like maybe I’m allowed to enjoy myself again now ? :O

*Jumps back on the Japan-train headed for fluency*

This post came just in time when I was beating myself up over every little perceived failure. Thanks khatz, and keep up the fruitivity!

Anyway, thanks for the post, it was a good, motivating read. Even if it made me crave fruit and cheese.
