llonkrebbojLet's not talk about specifics because goalsetting is CURSED xD
Driving! I got my driver's license last November, so this year I'd like to try driving out on short errands, lunch/dinner etc. and make sure my skills don't get too rusty.
Language learning! I made a post about a plan to learn Chinese in early 2023, and I've been slowly chipping away at it from various directions. 2025 is the year for 诗经 and 楚辞 at last \o/ The schedule is on a tentative trial run for the next two weeks, with adjustments to be made after. Wish I had more time to allocate to this one, but I do have a completely unrelated day job to keep up with LOL.
I am *CONSIDERING* moving progression for language of the dragon (kind of hiatused since mid 2024) to the later half of the year or even next year. But that depends on the above ☝️...
Translations! We're starting up again and I am excited about the lineup. But also have to learn to get myself to stop rabbit holing in detail, because good gods, my gdrive looks like the cover of that book Holes they made us buy for English class 🤣 Learning to relax again is important, because it was starting to stress me when I didn't have the time or energy to for digging properly. And that's not cool! This is my favourite hobby! To that end, I got a book by a local prof who annotated songs he wrote himself (revealing easter eggs!). Maybe we'll learn a thing or two from how he does it?
The Shangguan Wan'er project is firmly on hold until I have a better grasp on classical chinese, Tang history, general knowledge and epitaph writing xD It isn't fun to do it mostly blind...
Reading! Still on my diversifying agenda xD There are a bunch of Tang Dynasty related nonfiction including that CN series on Tang Dynasty low, mid and high ranking officials, the one on Textual Practices of Literary Training (my Christmas present) and a really cute one about common knowledge in ancient times. Aside from that, I learnt last year that Baihe sickliness does not quite catch me like Danmei's does and will need to do a deeper investigation into why with more comparable samples xD But speaking of Danmei, basically all the authors I enjoy (一丛音, 一十四州, 严颂颂, 清韵小尸) are in the midst of updating books now and I'm keeping tabs on all of them to swoop in when they're complete!!! /We're not going to do that 6 WIPs at once madness again.
(It looks like 芷衣's next up is a sickly mc one and I am SCRACTCHING AT THE WINDOW TO BE LET IN)
A couple more books on Japan, Tokyo and buddhist temples are lined up because of Spring trip!!!! I may start them in March and speed through xD
Note to Self: No more of getting tempted into fandom events this year 😆
