Well, recently I had a lot of progress in 3x3 just by doing tons of timed solves every day (I think I got from 21 seconds to 17 seconds average in ~1.5 months and for now I seem to keep going). That's really nice but along with the start of my semester I want to get back into learning new things. Because even if I don't need it for now, I will in the long run.

For that I prepared a real schedule.

until Sunday, 2016-04-24: re-learn full OLL for the 3rd time and use it in solves
until Sunday, 2016-05-01: become dual CN (white/yellow) once again (in theory I already am but I always go for white), spam yellow crosses only during that week
until Sunday, 2016-05-08: use some basic edge control (sledge to avoid dot or to skip EO), get familiar with using some LS technique at all instead of brainlessly inserting
until Sunday, 2016-05-15: be able to solve the cross blindfoldedly and plan in inspection (yep, I avg ~17 and plan 3 cross edges max ._.)
until Sunday, 2016-05-29: be able to track my first F2L pair in inspection and sometimes do xcrosses
until Sunday, 2016-06-05: exchange some inefficient F2L cases (there are only a few, it should be fine)
until Sunday, 2016-06-19: learn full WV and use it in solves

A tough schedule, but it might be good to stop learning new stuff one month before my next comp (Euro 2016).

Meanwhile I learnt full OLL for the 4th time and forgot it again.
Didn't do any of the other stuff due to me being a responsible person that actually studies, all out of a sudden.

2x2: sub-4 average
