Today, I happen to get up at 3:28 AM in the morning!
Which is wayy earlier than what happens usually, the "norm" is about 9-10 A.M ;P
But this isn't really unheard of as it does happen with me when I am quite exited about something, say on to something which is, of course Japanese Language these days. So, I went straight to study after waking up ( and basically giving up on falling asleep again ) and opened my song register up to learn the Japanese Verbs and the songs lyrics I am trying to memorize these days. I have made loads of progress in understanding the rhythm of lyrics and how to notice the various ways it is made to sound more rhythmical as well, not to mention the wonderful way the words and the music complement each other.
But apart from that bit of Progress, I have noticed something about my motivation - I fall in Love a lot!
Yup, that's true with every language ( or anything) I do. I exaggerate, I make-believe and even make it look insanely awesome but I am hopelessly in love with whatever I am giving my time to.
Say, I am studying German then I would love everything about the language, would look up every little cultural reference and would definitely imagine myself being a part of that legacy. I would romanticise the entire culture and the little peculiarities of German and Germans - there a pride in my heart;P. Same is true for Russian, French et cetera. I would even start dreaming in that context;P
Right now this is my Japanese phase and I am absolutely curious like a child about finding out everything about Japanese history, famous men and women of Japan right through the ages and how mysterious it still is to me!
I think, learning languages has changed the wiring in my brain a bit 'cos I don't really seem to mind acting weird ( or natural;P) when it comes to learning new things without judging them much. I just look forward to assimilating them. Say, the Japanese Anime, the first time( quite a while back) I came to know that even adults enjoy Anime and Manga, I kid you not - I was baffled!
I thought that's something you don't get to hear everyday but with time I have come to relish that, probably because I don't find it unusual in any way as I would read a good Manga myself to improve the language skills besides Anime is fun!
Which reminds me that these days I am watching Dragon Ball Z on the net and my parents have started to give me weird looks;P And man, how can I explain it all to them - makes me smile a lot though. I am definitely enjoying the language a lot.

Well, I just focus on Supersaiyans!
