Tiistai 🇫🇮 Þriðjudagur 🇮🇸

I wanted to wake up early in the morning. And I did, and I even switched off the alarm clock, but right after starting to ponder on my schedule, I lost consciousness and fell into a deep coma-like state. When I woke up again, it was already 7 a.m. I hurried downstairs to make up for my early morning mistake, but it was already too late for that. 

Anyway, after breakfast and the much-needed coffee, I buckled down to write the e-letter to the tax office. Even though they'd told me what to write yesterday, I was struggling with putting my thoughts into printed letters. Taxation and accountancy are not my cup of tea, and its vocabulary is so far away from me than Tokyo, but I wrote and sent the letter eventually.

My English class with Charlette was fantastic. My progress since I started taking lessons from her baffles me every time during and after the class. I'm still light-years away from being a native speaker, but the gap between my English and the CPE is getting smaller and smaller. It's frightening to think how it'll change this time next year.

The weather is ugly. Today was the perfect example of a depressing weather. Thick grey clouds covered the sky, and the rain was pouring down incessantly. The highest temperature was around +3°C, but it felt much less in the freezing Northern wind blowing the whole day. Tomorrow will bring a bit more pleasant weather, but the rest of the week will be depressingly shite weather-wise.
