Due to my questionable internet access I've been forced to write most e-mails, facebook messages and livejournal posts into a text-edit document and then quickly transfer them to their respective homes while the (shitty) internet connection lasts.
After some truly spiritual reflection I have come to the following conclusion: Work still must be done. I've made some serious progress and there have been a few steps back, but, all in all there is still work to be done!
I am pleased with my level of german. It has progressed much further than I thought it would a month ago. My comprehension, when spoken to or while reading is very good and I am able to think of and conjugate most verbs within a few moments. All of this excites me like whoa. Today was a bit of a watershed moment.
I came across something in class that I didn't almost immediately understand. I was very tempted to just fuck it and day-dream. However, I stuck to my guns and forced myself to focus. And now, after completing the homework, I have a much better understanding of verbs and irregular verbs in the perfect tense, both with haben and sein. Go me!
As far as some of my "unhealthy" choices, well, it's very much so on a day to day basis. I suppose I'll need more time to think all that over.
I am worried about the lack of time I have remaining here. About 20 days. Not sure I like breaking it down into days, but there you have it. A lot can happen in 20 days and so therefore I must make the most of it.
◆ Spend more quality time with pals
⁃ Venture into the City
⁃ Stop hiding in room when internet is working
◆ Take more detailed notes
◆ Eat healthier
◆ Smell the roses, as it were
Some of these goals are in progress...a slow progress.
