No, Where, Near

My English level is far from C2, let alone being able to sit the CPE exam anytime soon. It's around C1 at best, and it still needs a lot of hard work and study, but I'm ready to burn the midnight candle. On the other hand, Ági's right; I'm a bloody genius for completing the CELTA course with my exceptionally unique English background. However, let's not sit on my laurels but realistically assess all the necessary tasks to sit a CAE and a CPE exam. I'm terribly curious about what John will tell me tomorrow. Btw, he is the next teacher candidate with decades of exam preparation and teaching experience. Still, I hope Charlette is alright and will return to continue our lessons eventually.

Today was a lazy day again, but I don't mind it. I needed some me-time, so after sleeping in (I woke up at 7:30 a.m.), I decided to do some sport after breakfast and browse the internet afterwards. During training, I watched one of my most beloved movies: Cut it short, by Bohumil Hrabal. Right in the middle of the best part of the movie, the lunch was ready, so I hurried down to the kitchen to grab my plum dumplings and devoured them without any second thoughts. I love plum dumplings. Then I gave Ági a nice foot massage, took Abby for her afternoon walk, and repaired the bloody printer, which refused to work. It has some LAN and MAC address issues, so we connected it to Ági's laptop by cable. Finally, it deigned to work.

Anyway, this is it for today, I'm off to read a bit.

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...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮

We watched the last episode of Bordertown. Now the series is over and won't be available on Netflix anymore. Moreover, they don't plan to shoot another season yet, so chances are we were lucky to have watched the complete three seasons. Anyway, "Vive le Finnish-Hungarian friendship and Uralic languages!" 🇫🇮🇭🇺 After Ági left for the university, I sat down to study. I received four tasks yesterday from Charlette, and I finished the open cloze text and made some notes on the vocabulary part of the lesson. Now ask me anything about "wear out", "hanker for", "wind up", "drop in on", drop in", "cloak", "spectre", "orb", and "mace". Writing a report, explaining the gist of a video to a B1 level student, and writing a letter to an editor of a magazine are left to be completed. When I finished studying, I made some lunch: the menu was pita-bread with Greek yoghurt and veggies - tomato, spr...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

After a not-so-good night's sleep - I had a terrible dream; a lion wanted to chase me down and eat me - I woke up like a log. Little did I know about how chilly the outside temperature was when I took Abby for her morning walk. Both of us hurried back home. It took me two hours to create the lesson plan before my dentist's appointment, but I did it eventually. Since my temporary bridge had fallen off yesterday, I went to the dentist without it. Anyway, I'll have a new bridge next Wednesday if things pan out. I had a lesson with Ági's student this afternoon. I enjoyed the class and hope the students were also content with it. But the afternoon traffic is lethal. On the way home, there were numerous collisions, and I even saw two cars in the ditch. Crazy drivers should stay indoors. The weather is changing. It's still not typical of October, but the first signs of autumn are visible. The foliage is not as fresh green as it used to be during summer, and the nights are ...
