熱心な学生？

Hey, why I so strict when it comes to learning Japanese? 

Nothing changed during that time, but I forgot the reason for like 2 years.
I remember thinking about this and telling to myself that the more I study now, the less I'll have to study when I have a job USING JAPANESE. onsidering that knowing a language is a skill that needs practice and constant stimulus and there is ALWAYS something you don't know, you have to study it like forever (if you're like me, someone who wants to ace in everything one likes and wants to know every single word).

*study as in watching TV, newspapers, music and other media, you know, real Japanese.

When I get a job I want to devote 100% of myself to it, I cannot waste time studying. this is the mindset I had when I started studying Japanese for real.

Now!, besides studying the language of course, I want to continue studying japanese culture, I've come to love studying it ever since I started feeling the need to really understand the japanese people. I now understand why some foreigners leave Japan hating it. They knew nothing about the Japanese culture! They probably had a culture shock and were not able to cope with it so they opted for the easiest way. Giving up.
You, the reader, you might think that I know a lot (like, you know, I'm here criticizing other foreigners and I only talk about Japan etc) but truth is I don't. BUT I want to and I think I will.
