#bullet journal spreads
memories of the last week of december
お久しぶりですね！
This year, I’m going to be trying to get back into studying Japanese since I haven’t been able to keep up with it for the past two years.
Perhaps a lofty goal I set for myself, but considering current events in that it’s uncertain when testing will open up again, I really would like to get my Japanese to a level where I could pass the JLPT N3 exam.
I might not reach that goal at the end of 2021, but I’m sure that if I can stick to a sort of routine/study plan, I should definitely be ready for it by 2022. I already planned on not traveling in 2021 as well, and hopefully the whole covid-19 situation will finally be under control and I can register for the exam.
To prepare for the sort of studying, I decided I would try using a bullet journal to create and track my studies.
I’ve tried looking up what other people have done with creating bullet journals for studying and sort of base my spreads on those but I expect the whole process to be a learning one and I’m sure a lot of it will be based off of trial and error. Also, like that open ended “Be able to read …” goal? I haven’t decided which of my light novels or manga I want to put there yet. I’m going to look through them later and determine which I might be able to read without much issue by mid-year.
I think the most difficult spreads to create are the progress trackers since a lot of it is self-evaluated.
I’m sort of treating myself as a semi-beginner since I haven’t kept up on much except basic vocabulary when I could. I’m thinking I might mark where I thought I was by the time I completed all the Japanese classes I took at community college.
I have another page set aside to just track kanji proficiency but it’s not quite finished yet since I need to finish coming up with a study plan/routine for that.
And here’s the monthly spread I have set up so far. Eventually I’m going to have more filled in as I figure out more of what I need to keep track of.
I also feel kind of embarrassed that as an artist, I have zero creativity in designing pages. ._. Oh well, I guess it’s more about efficiency than anything.
How about all of you? Are you looking to start learning a language this year or maybe leveling up?
Anyway, looking forward to posting here more frequently again!
