Baby pose

I had one of the worst nights ever yesterday. It started with a slight pain in the stomach which became agony seasoned with cold chills and fever. Apparently, I got some virus and could only lie down in a baby pose. The content of my stomach wanted to come out urgently, but it wasn't clear on which end. Right now, I feel like a retired slug crawling on its own saliva. I was awake till 2:30 a.m., then I passed out, I guess, but when I came to, it all started all over again. Brilliant. Ági told me that her students were complaining about the same condition, so apparently, this disease is spreading nowadays. I couldn't concentrate on my studies, so I saw it better to sleep. I passed out several times during the day, but it was just as well. I hope to get well soon...

I've recently discovered an artist on YouTube, Peter Sheeler, who paints watercolours. I know nothing about art or painting, but I love this guy's style and the images he paints. This is my current favourite: Line and wash demonstration of an Old Door watercolor painting. I wish I could paint and sketch like him...

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...
