Study Plan Session 2

I'm going to work on building up writing and reading skills for this session. Previously (last year), I was trying to tank my way into Japanese by learning as much vocabulary as possible.  However, learning vocabulary without learning much grammar and sentence structure really hinders applicable language learning and becomes discouraging in the long run (as I cannot see the results of my efforts).

This session, I'm aiming to be able to write something a little less basic than just the standard introduction.  It's good that I've built up some vocabulary, but I also need to learn how to apply what I've learned to something meaningful.

The study plan goals are:
- Learn grammar points from http://thejapanesepage.com/grammar.htm
- Learn grammar points from Tae Kim's Guide to Learning Japanese
- Retain vocabulary by writing a few sentences everyday
- Learn vocabulary related to talking about oneself

I'm keeping the study plan free form and only including the goals of this session. Because I have a full-time job, I don't want to plan out my study habits and find that I cannot follow through on them because of not having the time to complete them.
