2008 Goals Update

I totally forgot I was going to post an update around the end/beginning of the month. Now’s as good a time as any, right?

This is just the highlights. You can keep track of my progress in more detail if you want.

* Be able to recognize all 1945 Joyo kanji so I can read a manga in Japanese.
I got up to a little over 300 and stalled a bit.

* Read 250 books, at least 10% of which are nonfiction.
I’ve read 10 nonfiction already, so only 15 more of those to go. I’m falling behind in overall total though. Or rather, I started out behind and I haven’t caught up yet!

* Watch 12 movies in French without subtitles.
I’ve watched 2 so far. It would’ve been 3, but Triplets of Belleville is mostly lacking in any language at all and was only available in English or Spanish on the DVD I got from the library. Still not sure what’s up with that.

Most of the rest of the goals are hit and miss. A little bit done, or nothing at all done.
