Yeah. Tell me about it! I've been trying occasionally since I quit in 2011. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes... less so. Determination is the key, I guess.
Haha, I love your profile picture! Reminds me I need to finish watching Polar Bear Cafe, I think I'm at episode 40 (out of 50?). Anyway, trying to remember stuff after a long break is good exercise for your memory, and it also helps make sure that vocabulary will end up in long term memory not just short term. ^^
