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...

Chillaxing

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

Tiistai 🇫🇮 Þriðjudagur 🇮🇸

My day was alright. I rearranged the shelves in the basement, which took me two hours to complete. I could have spent more time rearranging, but I had to deal with my homework before the class this afternoon. I had to read a story and summarise its content, write about the characters, and describe my impression. Even though the weather forecast predicts warmer days, the presence of autumn is palpable. The nights are much colder than a week ago, and the morning walks with Abby are faster due to the chilly temperature. I quite like the lower temperature and enjoy taking cold showers in the evenings because they refresh my body. However, I miss my summer sandals, shorts, and T-shirts. Walking Abby without having to don my jacket and put on several other layers was much easier. The English class with Charlette was fantastic. The sixty minutes flew by like a bullet train. I feel lucky to learn from her. After the lesson, I prepared my high tea cocoa pancakes. I love pancakes. When I devoure...

Montag 🇦🇹

We are in Austria. After waking up and devouring breakfast, Ági took Abby to the dog daycare, and I packed my things for the journey. We set out at eleven o'clock, washed the car, and hit the road to get here. The highway was busy, so it took us three hours to reach Parndorf, where we had lunch at Nordsee and drank coffee at Tommy Hilfiger. We did some shopping, only bought the necessary goods and left for the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 4 p.m., checked in, and drove off to another shopping centre to buy other goods we couldn't find in Parndorf. The hotel is quite nice from the inside. However, the facade and the overall look from the outside seem rather outdated; we felt like being in one of Budapest's hotels. Anyway, the staff is alright, the room is clean, and the view is breathtaking. Since tomorrow is a national holiday here, we'll visit a winemaker in Oslip to buy quality wine - Passatutti. We planned to have "Wiener Schnitzel" there and spend the ...
