Back on the wagon (the studying one that is)

I'm happy to say that so far, my resolution to study (or was it to learn?) more Japanese is going great. I'm studying everyday. So far it's mostly just review but I hope to start diving into my textbooks soon enough. My other resolutions are going well too-whatever they were. I think one of them had something to do with reading more. If you've been following along in my Books Read 2007 tab, you'll see that I'm currently reading three books right now. What that means is that I'm actually only reading two books and I stare at the other one in frustration and bewilderment. I'll give you one guess which one that is.

I might not update the list for a while because my reading time is sort of broken up. I read the speech book at work during my lunchbreak and the Civil War book at night when I go to bed for about an hour. For the other 'book' (it's actually a comic) I spend far more time with my nose stuck in the dictionary than I do actually reading. In fact I think that book will soon be coming down off the list. I've leveled myself down and bought a 'Naruto' book instead. Some of you may have heard of the Naruto anime. Anyways I'm starting to wonder if that might be too difficult to start with and am considering leveling down again and purchasing a Doraemon comic. Soon I'll be down to simply looking a children's picture books. Bah, I'll catch on eventually I think. At the very least, at least I'll be able to practice my hirigana and katakana reading skills which are, at the moment, ridiculously slow.
