Flashcard Makeover Is Complete
I have just completed my flashcard makeover. All 1400 now match the Numbers chart. I also created flashcards for all the primitives I had been neglecting since around the 300s. Its like a Christmas present to myself, this feeling of accomplishment. I plan to spend the remainder of today writing random sets using Flashcardexchange.com As for Saturday and Sunday, I haven't a clue what I'm going to do just yet. Monday I return to my regular schedule.

Japanese Days of the Week
Click for a larger view of this lovely image I created on photoshop. I found public domain photo site and I've been having fun. These are the Japanese days of the week in Kanji, Kana with imagery.

Flashcard Makeover
Yesterday, I completed the massive task of typing 1400 frames into a iWorks Numbers chart. Phew! I spent today reorganizing all my flashcards into chronological order so that I can begin my flashcard makeover tomorrow. I want all my stories to match the revised versions on the chart. I will attempt to review 200 frames a day via flashcardexchange.com by looking at the key word and writing the kanji in a notebook. I considered creating a set in flashcardexchange.com with my stories, but decided against it.
