Not much to say (but I have been studying kanji, reviewing grammar, listening to podcasts--w00t) except it's good to have a study buddy, conversation partner, and e-pal. I recommend having all three of these things, in fact. They are good for different reasons:
1) The Study Buddy
It's nice to have a fellow slogger. If you surround yourself with only natives (as ideal as that would be--ha!) you may get lonely/frustrated. Motivating your friend is also a good way to keep yourself motivated, and you can turn each other on to new study tools, funky vocab, and commiserate about kanji.
2) The Conversation Partner
To get over the shyness hump. Find a sweet and friendly native speaker to help get you acclimated irl. Do anything together, as long as you speak at least some Japanese.
3) The E-pal
It's not like there isn't enough reading material around, but processing quickly and typing prompt replies is good practice. Trade links, copy paste to ask questions, and maybe learn some cute emoticons www
So, don't suck--get some friends ;D
