Really feeling the crunch

Two vacations in October, who do I think I am? ^_^;
I have already enjoyed one lovely vacation with another in a couple weeks that I will be taking with a friend. So I am feeling relaxed and just wanting to get outdoors and enjoy the AMAZING WEATHER. Hence... my studies have taken a hit.

The Heisig method has helped me tremendously, but I must abandon it and just cram vocab into my head as best I can. I hate route memorization, but I've been slacking, and I feel that things are truly down to the wire. Thus, I've switched gears to my kanji book. I've recently completed "Week One" and am cruising through "Week Two." Just trying to memorize the terms in the Unicom book was proving too abstract, so that will come next.

On my most recent vacation, I picked up 5 Japanese novels, the first of which (英国庭園の謎) I am just now breaking into. I have to wrap up my last, enjoyable little volume of Yotsuba that I've been saving and delve into Frontline articles and 英国庭園の謎 in my free time. Sigh.

So, some upcoming things will be:
-A review of 日本語総まとめN2 漢字
-A review of 実力アップ!日本語能力試験2級漢字単語ドリル
-More about the Japanese novels I purchased and the amazing used bookstore where I got them. :D
