Lessons learned today

It's not so much about a lesson I learned today than the lesson I'd learned yesterday. Depending on the lessons' subject and the density of the units' curriculum, the fixed plan and schedule is something that only fools would pursue. While trying to analyse and assess how much time my self-education takes, I must keep learning and progressing. The constant readjusting seemed irritating initially, but it has become the essence of this journey by now, for which I'm genuinely grateful. It's a long road before the exam, but right now, my main focus can only be my studies and the obstacles I must overcome. As for my progress, I've noticed today how much easier I can solve the open cloze tasks than earlier when I had been struggling with this type of exercise.

Other than my studies, I've been watching many oriental food videos recently. One particular food caught my attention: lentils with rice and other veggies. I came up with my own version, which consisted of cooked rice, Heinz beans, cooked carrot, tomato, some salt and parsley. It was delicious. After devouring the nosh, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, which became a 3.5k march, during which she forgot to pull the leash and was walking next to me obediently. Seemed like a sort of success.

Despite the clouds in the sky, the weather was fantastic today. It was warm, with a temperature as high as +19°C. It gets better tomorrow and even better on Friday; however, the weekend brings some major changes, a significant drop in temperature, and some rain and storm. I'm not looking forward to it. At 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
