Long day, short blog. There really isn't much to say about days off when I spend them lounging around studying and watching movies. I watched "Burn After Reading" this morning and "Traitor" just now. It's almost midnight so I have another reason to rush through this post.
My kanji review is still revolving around flash cards and rote memorization. The problem with this method is that I am only able to absorb a very limited amount of material through repetition and without some kind of context it's easy to get the meaning, reading, or form jumbled amongst the other two thousand kanji that I see on a regular basis. On the bright side I have finished Chapter 6 in Toppa Mono. Tomorrow morning I will work through another chapter of JFCS too. I haven't actually made it far enough to review any practical grammar. There is only so much you can convey with the "Noun は Noun です" sentence structure.
I found that the shoe shortage is a problem even with internet shopping. I did manage to score a new pair of sneakers and some casual boots since my other shoes are hitting the 3~4 year old mark. The Post 9/11 Bill has opened the doors for new applications, but it seems like they're still changing policies here and there at the same time. One of the other ex-military cats at my school mentioned that the housing allowance would be about half what I was expecting. Hopefully he is mistaken and if anything the allowance will be higher, but regardless it will still cover my living expenses better than nothing. Ah, come to think of it I'll have to make some time to work this out Thursday if the office ladies are free.
