Been working on myself more again. Only still doing the 30 mins Japanese and Spanish and Irish, but now also doing an hour of programming and an hour of Blender and 5-20 mins of maths again. It's funny since before even with just JP, SP and IE, I always felt I could be doing more with the languages, and I find it funny because doing the programming and Blender stuff seriously made start maths and language studies feel a lot easier. If I don't study the harder subjects until later that is. Also always thought to myself I didn't have enough time in the day to focus on my languages for long enough, but this new schedule seems to make me realise I've been telling myself falsehoods all the time, (despite sorta knowing they were falsehoods, but at least now I can feel they're false).
As per Ashtear's advice from last week, I did look up online about JP courses for me, the only local one I can properly attends already doing a course, so I can't start a JP course there until maybe 2 months from now. So I'll be aiming to start around then if it's cheap enough.
Also the past 2-3 years I only learnt about 1000 words, but since the new year started, I now know 1500 words, I must have really put in the work effort the first few weeks of January to go that far in so quickly. I plan on ramping to that point again if possible.
So yeah, doing better again now. Thankfully.
