Slowly getting started

So, I had my passport photo done this past week. I will have to wait until my next payday before I can send the form back (unless I get money for my birthday...).

Attempting to learn Japanese is really hurting my brain.
I keep getting a headache and my eyes tear up. Like it is physically hurting me.
I really don't care though.
I need to learn this language. And yes, it is going to kick my ass. It is kicking my ass.

I just finished my commission piece so now I can focus on some other projects and hopefully really fill out my portfolio.


I've taken a slightly different approach to learning the language.
I listen to the language CD at night in bed. The idea is to listen to them while I sleep. I did pick up on question formation and more words are becoming more familiar to me. The hard part was not trying to think of the phrases in French or Russian...funny Spanish didn't even come into play. I hope that with the addition of Japanese my other foreign language skills will improve as well.

Until next time...
