Should practice writing more...

in English AND Japanese.

So I didn't mention this yet, but I go to a technical college now... but I will be back in University soon. This means I haven't really had the opportunity to utilize my essay writing skills... lately all I've written were written tests or screenplays for school (I am a film major). I realize, once I go back to University classes I might get lost in the midst of essay writing... and just before graduation that cannot be a good thing. I've decided I'll at least write one entry a day in my blogs/journals so at least my writing is still there to look at after... and of course, so I can motivate myself to not procrastinate on homework anymore (I've become very good at avoiding procrastination lately... there isn't anything to really do so I just do it right away or within 2 - 3 days... okay maybe longer...sometimes.).

I should also practice my Japanese. I was a teaching assistant for two semesters (Summer and Fall) and now that I haven't TAed in a month (I think), I'm starting to forget my Japanese. I'm alright at speaking but writing has always been my weakest point. What's even worse is that I have forgotten almost all of the Kanji I learned over the Spring semester and the years before that... :( I really need to get off my lazy butt and flip open my textbooks. I'm also going to consider buying additional workbooks/textbooks so that one day I can become advanced and maybe fluent in Japanese (like my friend's dad who is a professor...hmm).
