Building Vocabulary

As the eventide drew a long shadow on the land at the end of a quiescent day, highlighting the effulgent contrast between day and night, I recalled my little self peregrinating through the day, pondering how to compose a helpful lesson to my novel student. Even though languor befell me while embarking on the day’s odyssey, I serendipitously crafted a new syllabus. Nevertheless, the subsequent leisure stroll with Abby resulted in another fatigue, and I soon found myself in the realm of reverie upon returning home with a weary dog. The remainder of the day comprised honing my lesson, enhancing its syllabus, and mitigating my ravenous appetite.

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.

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...
