Executing the plan

My performance today was excellent. I stuck to the plan and managed to go through the second lesson in the 'Ready for Advanced' book. It contained some words that needed attention, but overall, I'm happy about the test and task results. Tomorrow I'll review the relevant exercises in the workbook, but I must adjust the plan slightly, though. The anticipated pace at which I'd thought I could progress must be reconsidered, and I have to devise a better schedule. The main issue I detected today is: being an autodidact meant so far that going through any language book was merely about dealing with texts and vocabulary and forgetting about the tasks and workbooks. There were better ways of learning, of course, but this is how it is now, and instead of moaning about it, I need to rectify my mistakes. I must slow down and give myself more time to study. I must allocate enough time to immerse myself in the world of quality learning to improve and prepare thoroughly for the exam.

Well, the weather was lovely today. It was sunny, and the highest temperature was +18°C. There were no clouds in the sky, so the walk with Ági was excellent. We did a 3k round, but the muscle fatigue - due to the previous weeks' laziness - kicked in after returning home. It's pretty irritating how quickly the stamina deteriorates. There is much to do something about it.

Right, I feel knackered after studying all day, so bye all...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach.  After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
