I'm trying to get back into studying Japanese (I did a lot of independent study and took 3 semesters of college classes, but proficiency this is not). I was hoping to try studying with a partner starting in February, but I've gotten out of the habit of signing in to Skype (automatically signing in / remaining signed in at all times has lately become more trouble than it's usually worth).

I'm also hoping to improve my skills with math (I kinda bailed at Calculus II), programming (I can make games, but an expert I am not), and music (composition/performance, though I'm not sure if there's a way a study partner could help much with these, unless someone can verbally correct my keyboard/guitar fingering). Doing these optimally may require clever solutions for accessibility reasons (mathematic notation online is often rendered as screen reader unfriendly images, for example).

I'd prefer a consistent schedule, but I don't have any idea what my availability will be like during March (I assume it will be less uncertain from April to August). For now, I know only that 7AM-12PM US Central time, and 3PM-6PM are unavailable in the short term (this will almost definitely change soon).
