Had my first full day of language study today for the first time in a couple weeks-ish. Felt good. I feel more settled in general after giving up some other things I was working on that can wait for a better time. Cutting out mental clutter and setting aside time for mental maintenance is so important. If you don't make time for your body, your body is eventually going to make that time for you whether you like it or not.

For Japanese itself, I realized when listening today I still don't have a firm grasp of a rather elementary concept (demonstratives with か or も) and that's pretty frustrating considering how common they are. I'm going to drill them next month when I'm wrapping up Tobira.
