Weekly Digest #1

It's been an exciting week. The weather went bonkers on Monday, and the gale-force wind brought early late-spring side effects that caused havoc in our sleeping routines. Not a single night has passed since without tossing and turning, and it has devastated our daily performances. By Saturday, our exhaustion level got so high that our usual afternoon slumber became a comatose faint. 

Nevertheless, the week did also surprise us. I returned to prompt writing, found the mojo, and crafted useful lessons for my students. We also took long strolls in the beautiful weather and experienced unusually warm temperatures in early February, and the combination of these walks and fresh oxygen-filled air led me to let my mind wander over the past three decades.

Reminiscing about the memories made me really sentimental. Pondering about the meaning of life and what a meaningful life consists of was just the pinnacle of this journey in the realm of my subconscious mind. But it's a journey well worth taking. These memories brought back the really important points of reference in life, such as love and my wife. What a nostalgic weekend this is?!

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...
