korafoxI started a beta account on WaniKani over the weekend. It's basically a supposedly-better way of learning kanji/vocab, and I am sick and tired of having to relearn half my vocab every time I put down my Japanese for a few weeks. So, we'll see how that goes, and if I like the system I'll probably shell out the money for it once the free trial is through. I was in dire need of a refresher on some of the basics, anyways, and most of my mental energy while playing Gyakuten Kenji goes towards being competent with terms like "blunt force trauma" and "diplomatic immunity" for the duration of a case.
Also looked into a freelance art thing for one of the departments at local university. Promptly boarded the nope rocket once I found out the details. Turns out they wanted not 50-60 images, but 50-60 sets of two or three (somewhat complicated) images each. On a two week deadline. For $200.
I mean, I know you're a university research project and your budget is going to be crap, but it is literally not worth my time to tear my hair out doing 100-180 pictures for somewhere around $1 or $2 each in the span of two weeks. I know there are people in my life who would be spouting "beggars can't be choosers", but actually yes I can choose not to wreck my mental health for $200. I'd rather put the time and energy towards the Noema project, which hopefully someday will make me money and in the meantime I can just love on.
