Personally, I'd like to learn programming. (Which luckily for me, I go off to college in a few weeks and start my first programming class right off the bat.) Along with that, it'd be my dream to learn (or try to) Japanese. Other than that, I'd like to get a bit into philosophy, and potentially some law. I would also love to get better at drawing/painting, but unfortunately just about anything I try to draw comes out as utter garbage.

Become a Programmer, Motherfucker.

For Japanese, Memrise is where I started. I also have PDF of kanji sheets (to train your handwritten kanji); I have no idea where I got those from - repeated search turned out nothing - but I can send those to you using a file-sharing platform.

Thanks for the offer, I'll definitely take up the offer on those sheets! (^_^)

Also, do you have any particular recommendation for which course(s) I should do on Memrise?

I'm afraid I made a mistake referring to hiragana sheets as kanji sheets. I haven't been up with Japanese for quite a while, and my washed-out knowledge shows it. If you're still interested, you can view and download them at Google Drive.

As for Memrise, I started the most basic Japanese course I could find, correlating with my knowledge of the language. I'm afraid I can't guide you any further, for I didn't go there for now.
