seventeen burned kanji

Long time readers will know that I use this tool called WaniKani to practice kanji and vocabulary. It can take an amazing amount of time to "burn" (or finish) a single kanji if you make a typo (for instance, on the crowded chuo line, heading to work) but today I wiped out seventeen of them. One of them, the simple blue radical (or kanji fragment) for "ice" had plagued me for a year.
