Day...2?

So much for that seven day commitment I promised in the last post. I think that I am starting to get to the crux as to why I am unable to focus on blogging. It is definitely related on a lack of structure in my life.

I didn't give myself much time this morning, so I will spit out a few thoughts. I've decided to include a loose template for my subsequent posts. I will be highlighting what I am curious about on the day I post, what I am reading, and what I am working on. I feel this will be a good way to keep on task and aggregate my independent study into fruitful results.

Language is another huge interest of mine. At the moment I speak fluent English, semi-fluent French, and I can spit out basic dialog and read in German, Russian, and Arabic. I would like to bolster the languages that I know as well as add Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese to the mix. Japanese makes more sense because study will pair well with my love of anime films, plus I would like to read and write Kanji.

So many interests, so little time.
