3. I wouldn't even plan a weekend trip

... *guilty*

Actually, a weekend trip would be too much at the moment... But I have two days possibly coming up which could keep me from adding new kanji, so I'm doing more than my daily goal to be able to skip those days.

1. Ask your parents to reschedule a trip until you're finished with RTK1 (yes I did this. They did reschedule as well.)

2. Keep trying to convert people to SRS-ism by talking about it non stop

3. (more a sign of RTK-overdose I suppose) think of kanji stories whenever you hear/read certain keywords.

4. when you see new information, wonder how it could be turned into SRS cards.

Being in a social situation and having to conciously think of a conversation starter that doesn't concern japanese language.

I'm using my SRS during holyday in Japan. Who can beat this?

I was going to make a reply, but this literally is too nuts for words :S. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!

<edit> P.S. Nest0r: I Loved (<-- with a big L, to put further emphasis on it) your joke.

My internet was just out for 2-3 days, and I was literally going crazy since I couldn't access this site, and the idea of my reviews piling up was stressing me out to no end. After some hours of reviewing, I still have 225 cards left in my expired pile now, and I've been spending so much time reviewing that I haven't been able to learn any new cards, so even though my internet was only out for like 3 days, I'm left with 4 or maybe even 5  days of not learning new material, so I'm going to have to double up now in order to meet my goal that I was aiming towards (finish in exactly 3 months).

1. Postponing your 4-days stay at your girlfriend's house until she manages to get her broken internet connection working again.
2. Using your SRS reps as an excuse when you don't want to do something: "I'm sorry, I've still gotta finish studying, I can't come today..."
3. Finding yourself repeating random Japanese sentences and kanji stories in your mind during *any* activity.

Plus when I am at a party I can immediately SRS all the things a hot chick tells me about herself and impress her with my retention rate later on

If you really do that you're my hero!

During sex: "Wait, stop everything... one of my cards just expired, I can feel it. I have to go."

...only to find that the card that expired was that 'special technique' you were trying to remember.

Frequently being irritated with your Japanese co-workers for attempting to make small talk and hence distracting you from your sentence reps.

Yo Silmara! I have the same feeling!

1. When you put off studying for a final you have that day in order to add more kanji.
2. You're in one of the most beautiful places in the world and you're inside adding kanji/sentences (I was on the Gold Coast of Australia when I did RTK1).

I agree with the difficulty trying to talk about anything not Japanese and avoiding people to add more sentences

God, I was so cranky yesterday without my review fix. I was in a fancy "eat all you can" buffet, with sushi included. And I could not forget I was ditching my reviews!

Yo, sure is doable. But doing all the reviews is more important. And enjoy your vacation!

recurring dreams (nightmares?) of reviewing cards...

Or similarly, doing the SRS a lot, but then having nightmares about having to figure out kanji but failing horribly! Cannot do anything cause you are stuck in Japan with Kanji attacking and you need to beat them!! ><
