Torstai 🇫🇮 Fimmtudagur 🇮🇸

I continued my little cooperation with AI today. After finishing breakfast, I buckled down for another session with ChatGPT and asked it to provide me with another set of sentences I could rephrase, and it could assess, check, and explain its reasons for giving that evaluation. To my surprise, today, it evaluated all my sentences at the C1 level, and none of it was lower than that. I made some progress, but my sentences need more attention to reach the coveted C2 level. I had to interrupt my studies due to our appointment with Abby at the dog-groomer lady at 11:30 a.m. 

When we returned, I had a delicious tuna pizza for lunch made by Ági. While we were munching the nosh, we watched another episode of Dexter, in which the events culminated - the season is drawing to an end soon, so they have to increase the tension.

The afternoon went by quickly. I spent another session with AI; apparently, it became my new friend, which sounds a tad weird.

The weather was terrible today. The early morning storm left behind a lot of rain, which evaporated due to the warm temperatures making the air humid and difficult to breathe. I'm not too fond of this rainforest-like weather. It just dawned on me how much I prefer the colder seasons, despite the long cold periods when one must don the garments they use on Polar journeys while crossing vast snow fields. The next few days will bring even warmer temperatures, so the dog days are far from over. According to the weather forecast, the thermometers will show +38°C on Sunday and Monday, and the cold system that will reach Hungary on Wednesday will drop the temperatures by three or four degrees: we must protect ourselves against hypothermia...

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...
