Drawing

I'm waiting for next week to acquire a notebook, since I'm staying somewhere I don't have any spare paper for exercises. I will admit that I am discouraged by my ugly lines and my inability to analyze motion in mostly static poses, even when it's so clear in my head I just can't translate it to paper.

Japanese

I can now say that I have problem words that I forget or get wrong in every quiz, without fail. They're words I haven't heard before and that I can't connect to a context, so I'm relying on definitions alone. I think it's time to take some notes to make a conscious effort to remember these items and write sentences and meaning clusters to connect them to each other. The question is: Digital or handwritten?

Reading

I've sorted by a mix of chronological publication and saved date to have some variety and I'm honestly very [raises eyebrow] at my 18 year old self about some of these.
