Here's a blog. It'll be 18 months this June, got a 215 on JCAT last time (been taking it once every 6-7 months).

The big difficulty so far has been that the way Japanese express themselves is fundamentally different. I find that it's hard to correctly understand sentences even if I know every word.

I've found that reading books has dramatically improved my comprehension speed, but it's a mentally tiring process, even if I'm reading on the computer with a mouse-over dictionary, or even when using readers which have translations on the facing page. Hard to stay motivated and consistent at this point.
