Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 - Mittwoch 🇦🇹

A short entry

I woke up at 4:30 a.m., took Abby to her unusually early morning walk, jumped in my summer dress, and drove to Vienna to Ági up and bring her back. It took me three hours to get to the Burg Theatre, where I met her. Then we got the certificate that proved she successfully completed her scholarship there. Since I hadn't had breakfast, we went to buy some nosh. At "Der Mann", we found some cinnamon rolls and other delicacies, grabbed a coffee, and drove back home - another three-hour trip. We stopped by the Shopping City in Parndorf, had lunch there, bought some goods, and headed for Hungary. 

Today was an exhausting day. I'm knackered, and I only want to shower and sleep.

Goodbye Austria, till next time...

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...
