15. March

Today is a national holiday here in Hungary, and the whole country celebrates the Revolution of 1848. Everybody wears the cockade, and there are historical movies and other documentaries on TV commemorating this memorable event. There are political rallies where the clowns talk to the mass and try to use the event for their political benefits. Real plonkers.


As for our day, we didn't do much apart from chillaxing a bit, which was just as well. I wasn't in the mood to learn or fiddle with my English studies, so I let this day go completely. After having a tasty meal for lunch, I gave Ági a foot massage and watched the latest episode of The Mandalorian. It wasn't as exciting as the previous episodes, but I hope the next ones will improve. Then we binge-watched three episodes of the latest season of 'Below Deck'. What a lazy day we had...

I feel a lot better today. My stomach could handle the fish we'd eaten for lunch, so I've got high hopes for my complete recovery. The hunger kicked in this afternoon, which is a good sign of being out and about very soon. It was high time...

The weather is terrible today. It's cold, windy, and dark with all those clouds in the sky. Tomorrow seems equally bad, but according to the weather forecast, Saturday will bring some changes, and things will improve. Fingers crossed...

The final plan

I have a plan, so crazy that it might just work. I checked my books and tried to estimate how to proceed with my preparation, i.e which books should be the first and how to process the units, so the devised schedule is the following: Completing the 'Straight to advanced' and 'Ready for Advanced' books. They consist of 10 lessons and 5 review units each, so if I study intensively, I can finish these books in three-four weeks. Learning by heart the advanced phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocation books. (Plus the 'Don't get me wrong' pocketbook that contains brilliant idioms and collocations.) These books consist of 60 units each, so if I take three lessons per week, I can finish them by the end of August. Completing the 'Destination C1-C2' book. This is the toughest of all the previously listed books, including word formation, idioms, phrasal verbs, grammar, etc. I could go through this book while dealing with the 'Straight to advanced' book si...

53 is the new 35

Nah, I'm just kidding, 53 cannot be 35 in any way. When I first heard this term, fifty is the new forty, I thought something was wrong with my ears. Even the explanation of this locution seemed dodgy. I'm pretty sure that this is a kind of self-hypnosis technique used by those who are unable to accept their age and refuse to take notice of the natural order of things. (It's always weird to see the results of what the scalpel of cosmetic surgeons did to some poor, deluded individuals.) Anyway, I found the tail of the mojo and tried to get it back completely. I completed the homework Charlette had given me a month ago - it wasn't easy to complete, though - and booked some lessons as well. I'm looking forward to these classes. Nevertheless, my mind was struggling tremendously with the homework. My brain is still not as fresh as it used to be, so I won't be surprised if it turns out to be a balderdash. The weather turned freezing. Well, it's not as cold as it is...
