well ive spent most of that gift card..
i bought BRUSHPENS!! yahoooo.. and im not talking about those stupid markers with felt tips that are called brushpens when they arent.. i found a goldmine.. elmers paintastics.. they have real bristle brushes at the tips.. and they are ink that is instant drying unlike alot of the other brush pen type things available.. plus they have a special brush that changes the colors.. so i can make my kanji look all pretty like a tye dyed kanji.. anyway so since i started using them my handwriting for the kanji has gotton better.. i think that because i have to control the brush so much more than a pen ive just gotten better.. i also went out and bought some better pens.. my old ones were extra bold.. which made my english writing look good but my kanji writing illegible unless i wrote really big.. so i went out and bought some .5 mm pens that are working sooo much better.. im actually able to fit the kanji on a single line in a note pad now..

i never did end up buying the grammar books i wanted.. but that 35$ has gone by so fast.. i think i only have like 5$ left on it..

well not all that money went to brushpens.. i did buy some markers and TONS of index cards.. and i bought coupon portfolio things with tabs so i can keep them separated based on what lesson in RTK they are.. ive decided to try to do around 200 a week.. during the week ill review the cards from the previous week while making new ones.. at the beginning of the week ill add the new kanji into my RevTK deck... but i wont go through them until the second day.. that way i can review the paper ones first (they have the stroke order on them so i need to study them first)

so right now im up to kanji # 194 with a 90% correct rate..

ive decided that once im dont with RTK1 that i will continue to review them so that i dont forget them.. i was just going to stop and move on but im afraid of forgetting and having to start over
