Learning Languages
In case anyone needs an online English-to-Japanese phrase translator, I think http://www.alc.co.jp/ is a pretty good site to start, although you probably need some Japanese grammar background before you learn to use that site properly since it’s Japanese and doesn’t translate chunks of text most of the time. To use, just type a phrase in either English or Japanese alone into that dark-blue bar below the words ‘英辞郎 on the WEB’ and press enter. If I’m not wrong, it shows you results based on the translation, as well as what it finds online with that phrase (or something similar) – In other words, you actually know what word to use in which context, if you can tell.
http://speedanki.com/ is pretty good for expanding your vocabulary before JLPT, too. (I think I linked this on the right?)
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C or WWWJDIC is a really good English-Japanese, Japanese-English dictionary.
I’ve started to write journal entries on Lang-8.com for a few days now, it seems to help my Japanese by posting and getting stuff corrected ;D
It’s also pretty fun (maybe it even helps improve my English a little too) to correct other people and help them with English.
But even though my Chinese exam is coming up, I really don’t have any kind of motivation to help myself with it. Lack of interest, you may say, but still. It does affect my GPA, after all.
Sigh, my math, physics and chemistry is doomed. I shall be off to study now. Just thought that the above would be helpful.
Edit: I also started an account on pixiv just to lurk around. kl-chan is one of the more popular artists there, as usual. You need a japanese email address to register, wtf? Ah well. It’s interesting to learn how to register for Japanese things 
they always ask for the prefecture etc.
