Alright, maybe not the N1 after all.

Although I’d like to just cut down on posting for a bit, I noticed that I haven’t been following much anime lately in terms of blogging, watching, and commentating.  Heck, I’ve been rushed in terms of blogging that I even forgot to categorize some posts and add tags. Not good. I cringe at the fact that I have to make a post like this again, but it had to be done.

Posting quite late as I am (since I try to follow a three post a week rule), it feels like I’m still going for editorials at the episodical schedule. Along with November being the month before finals, I am inclined to postpone this altogether. However, it isn’t just this. I usually find the time to study a bit per day anyways and maintain blogging.

tl;dr I feel the need to slow down (mind you, I don’t plan on kicking the bucket for at least a few years to come) this month due to:

  • again, point form (what a smarty)
  • The freaking JLPT. I realized that I am not learning enough from what I learn in class to save me a passing mark in the JLPT N3. In retrospect, I should have just paid and prepared for N2 next year, but I already paid, darn it. Long story short, I need the time to get back from school late and start studying for it. Exam is in next month, yikes, and the materials I have are supposed to be studied over the course of three months. Double yikes. My speech sucks, my writing sucks, I need to improve fast.
  • Not school. School’s fine. Exams are fine. It’s the writing. I started up this blog to keep me writing English so I don’t lose out on grammar or spelling mistakes, since Japanese is starting to mess up those a bit. And especially after writing a few Japanese essays in an attempt to get scholarships/chances to study abroad in Japan, my mind’s messed up. I also have to write another long essay on political science in a few weeks, so for now my English is covered and I’m brain dead.
  • All this will just give me writer’s block -> worrying/panicking -> crappy posts -> more worry -> negative cycle
  • Also to be honest, not much interest in this season, which might affect the negative cycle more. Maybe the last season set my standard or something, but I’m not finding the sparkle in this season. I’ll finish Benn-Toh in due time. Maybe some posts if I spot anything eye catching. Guilty Crown doesn’t count.
  • Also I hate writing up these posts because the time spent to write a post like this could be used to write a better post.

tl;dr I need a break again and I only got enough time now to study like crazy/watch a bit here and there/maybe some posts once in a while this month.

So yeah, sorry. Call me a quitter(s never win) and unsubscribe and do whatever. I’ll leave popularity/stats to the better bloggers. See you guys more in December, with 159% better posts. I plan on taking a creative writing course next term, wooooooooooooo

…and uh, Happy Halloween?

P.S. It’s not even November yet, I feel like such a quitter. No, I’m not quitting, it’s only been like, a month or two?

P.S.S. This computer’s qqqq key is stuck qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

tl;dr ignore this blog until december
