As with other posts in this series, this is the results of a test I took today, July 27th, 2021.
消 洗 昼 集 便 首 狭 用 価 束 動 面 産 題 賃 実 広 切 転 交 次 問 守 有 運
I got 8 wrong, 4 of which were this row (68%). Why am I considering this test done? As usual I can complete it tomorrow. 昼 I drew slightly incorrectly. At least I was drawing the right kanji this time, type 2. 便 I drew two strokes wrong so I count that as correct, the shape is correct enough to communicate. 狭 I had learned but forgot today (type 4, forgetting a word a day later). 用 I confused with it's synonym 仕. 面 I forgot but drew correctly before (type 4). 産 I forgot (type 3). 題 I forgot the English and didn't realize that there was one missing. I have written it correctly in previous tests, so it's type 4. 実 I almost drew correctly but knew I got it wrong (type 2). 有 I drew 持 which is pretty close to a synonym (type 1). I was thinking about 有 as a possible solution. I cheated on 転 which is silly but I'm counting it as right. I didn't remember the English because of the way kanjidic works. I remember 転 as turn, but the English in kanjidic is {revolve} {turn around} {change}. These three translations are ambiguous, but should have triggered my memory but failed.
How did the low row tests go? Awful. I decided to stop doing them yesterday to avoid losing my mind. That means there are a few tests. Only one of them went well enough to consider so it's recorded below. I forgot the top and bottom of 着 (type 2), I made a substantial mistake in the shape of 道 (type 2). I made a fairly substantial mistake in 写 (type 2). I forgot the crown in 帰.
- Row 14 Test July 24, 2021 86%
会 寄 寒 右 忘 様 参 白 着 開 都 変 戸 置 暑 肉 閉 田 楽 道 飲 真 消 東 写 字 帰 長 明
Instead of a long blog I thought I would put more time into posts that are more valuable to readers. I got my DEF CON badge in the mail. I've decided that the important thing is to improve my social skills. How am I supposed to do that? I need to spend more time around people in situations that involve talking. It's a difficult task made more difficult by a global pandemic but I think it's possible. I've been playing way too much Tetris lately. I need to stop but.. I keep going back as a sort of relaxation. Except it's anything but. I swam yesterday for 40 minutes, that was nice. I still have water in my ears the next day.
Until next time!
I'll hopefully post all tests as I pass them. Wish me 運.
