Re: November 2025 achievements!
@kaii I am grateful for such a lovely check-in and you and @Nemuritai have some amazing achievements this month that I am very proud of you for. My knowledge of Japanese is very basic unfortunately but I have watched a few animes and heard positive things about both of those you mentioned @Nemuritai . This is actually my first time seeing one of these monthly check-ins, but I’m glad I came across it.
Here are some of mine though I apologise in advance if they are silly:
- I did some baking which I have not done in a long time and it turned out quite well
- I recovered from being unwell for a week.
- I got the result for an important exam I did (which turned out relatively okay).
- I saw snow for the first time this year.
You are all truly doing great. Thank you for sharing your wins as they’re really inspiring to read.

Re: November 2025 achievements!
Thank you so much @kaii for these posts every month - they make me really happy and I look forward to them a lot. Here are mine for this month:
- I started reading my first ever novel in Japanese (it's my neighbour totoro hehe) with the help of a dictionary, and that's been going really well! I've also ordered a Japanese light novel series which is arriving next month, I'm super excited to start reading that.
- I also started drawing this month which I'm proud of, and it's been really therapeutic and relaxing, especially with music on in the background.
- I finished watching the anime series 'the fragrant flower blooms with dignity' entirely in Japanese, that was really exciting as I've never watched a whole series in the language before!
- I made more of an effort to be kind to myself this month

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 24.11.25
I finished my drawing! Honestly it was quite difficult but I'm very proud of it even so. Apologies again for the photo quality lol
I started sketching!
Hey there - I gave sketching/drawing a try for the first time yesterday (using a reference for guidance) and thought it would be fun to share my results here. It turned out to be really therapeutic and I definitely want to draw more in the future. I'm still a beginner so there's plenty of room for improvement but I'm looking forward to learning and improving!
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 24.11.25

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 10.11.25
Im on the programme, I saw them today, spoke to them and it went pretty good. They also called just a few minutes ago asking about a replenishment job, I dont know what it is but I get this hesitation so when they first asked I said basically I don't think its for me because of my hesitation like I don't know what it is like when I get calls like this I just hesitate. I called back pretty soon after and told them its for me so they'll put me CV forward and if the company like it they'll contact me. It was just the early hours that made me hesitate like thats 1 of the reasons but I realised its not too bad, its pretty near to home too, also earlier start means early finish which is great so pretty good, just getting up early Ill have to adjust too but I don't think I'd have a problem with that. Just got to see if they get back to me. Got nothing to lose though, if they don't call we'll keep going.
Re: October 2025 achievements!
I bought a walking stick in October to help me get around due to my condition. After a couple of months of contemplating, at first I felt really conscious using it, like everyone was watching/ judging me for being a young person with a mobility aid. After using it a few more times, I feel more confident, and I am putting my needs over any else's opinions.
