I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the possibility of me not getting in for a 2022 intake and having to wait until 2023.
It wouldn’t be the end of the world, and I am very certain that by then, my Korean, Japanese, and Kanji/Hanja proficiencies would be very high, at least JLPT N2 and TOPIK 5.
Also, I will have made a lot of progress on my own personal projects, including rewriting the Japanese and Okinawan languages into Pahanngana and making books about how to remember the Kanji and Hanja.
I am seriously considering this possibility, because it is definitely less pressure and more relaxed, and it would allow me to approach multiple projects at the same time, in addition to me getting full time work.
Right now, I’m just working part time, and already I feel like I don’t have enough time to do all my daily tasks.
We’ll see, I think pushing myself to do as much as possible in the shortest amount of time possible is a good test for me to improve my deep focus and remove distractions, so I should still aim to try for the 2022 intake, and have the 2023 intake plan as a backup.
