Mittwoch 🇦🇹

Our revels have continued today. We went to buy some goods in the shopping mall after devouring breakfast, which was phenomenal. We spent two hours there and even visited IKEA, but eventually came out empty-handed. After returning to the hotel unpacking the goods, and shaving my derelict face, we jumped in the car and drove to the "Hundertwasser Haus" and the "Freud Museum" in Vienna. The Hundertwasser Haus was different from what I'd expected. Naturally, it was interesting and unusual, but I didn't feel any cathartic sensation seeing the building. I enjoyed the little shops and the "Flea Market", though. Continuing our visit to the city, we went to the Freud Museum, which was an exciting experience. Being there reminded us of certain parts of Budapest, particularly the fifth and sixth districts, which have similar style edifices. The museum wasn't too busy, but the visitors often seemed to have forgotten their best manners at home. Their demeanour was anything but great. Anyway, after coming out of the museum, we went to grab some food. Akakiko was the best choice for us to have lunch. The food there was delicious. We then went to have a coffee at Aida, immersed ourselves in the hustle and bustle of the city, and walked our feet flat. At 4 p.m., we jumped in the car a drove back to the hotel, which was a perfect decision as grey clouds were gathering above the city. As soon as we returned to the hotel, it began to rain.

We collected 13.000 steps today, and we were on our feet all day. We are knackered, but this exhaustion is sweet, as this is the first time we had a calm and relaxing holiday. I wish we could spend one more month here...

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...
