1) I finally feel like I've got somewhat of a handle on the kanji I've learned so far. It really took me awhile to grasp how things work, but I'm finally getting more answers correct when quizzed than not.

2) A barrage of questions that don't need to be answered right away, asked when my head isn't in the right space? Irritating.

3) Reading "Own Your Glow" by Latham Thomas, which - so far - hasn't offered up anything particularly new, but is a fun read anyway.

4) Quiet work day.

5) Attempting to shift patterns is tough, but usually worth the work.

6) Can't believe it's almost February! Where does the time go?
