Lauantai 🇫🇮 Laugardagur 🇮🇸

Apart from some worthless minor tasks, we didn't do anything on the rearrangement project today. We weren't in the mood to continue the "job"; more precisely, the Jedi abandoned us, and the force wasn't with us. After waking up, the signs of exhaustion were tangible, and our faces accurately reflected our condition: the elongated jaws imaged us sleeping with teeny-tiny eyelids, and our frightened-sloth-like movements resembled that of the residents participating in the nursery home's snail-collecting championship. Realising how wretched our physical state was, we decided to skip the hard labour today and continue it tomorrow. After all, there is still a whole day before travelling to Austria. I'll miss Abby terribly. I wasn't sure I'd write this down, but I'll miss her.

Since we ditched the physical toil, I prepared the lesson for today for Ági and Roya. I thought reviewing would be a good idea, so I put together some pieces from our previous lessons and focused on vocabulary and pronunciation. The class was roughly 75 minutes long, and we did a lot of pronunciation and vocabulary drills.

After the English class, we devoured what we left from the "szilvásgombóc" lunch. Then I worked out, and this was our Saturday.

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...
