Progress

After a terrible night on the sofa - I'd been awake till 4 a.m. - I woke up like a rag-doll at 6 a.m. when the alarm went off. Ági rushed down to check up on me, and, judging by her look, I must have looked like a sun-dried larva. My stomach is still unable to deal with anything besides bananas, potatoes and vegetable juices. However, I've been thinking of having a massive portion of Wiener Schnitzel for days. I wish I could sink my teeth into that beautiful slice of meat in the picture... We certainly must get a Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna during Ági's scholarship in May. Anyway, despite my dizzy head, I started learning, and I could finish the second and the review 1-2 units today. The CAE book (Straight to Advanced) doesn't seem too challenging; however, I mustn't be preposterous and complacent and I have to focus on completing the CAE exam with flying colours. There were a few unknown idioms and phrasal verbs, which imply that I mustn't forget how to proceed ...

Baby pose

I had one of the worst nights ever yesterday. It started with a slight pain in the stomach which became agony seasoned with cold chills and fever. Apparently, I got some virus and could only lie down in a baby pose. The content of my stomach wanted to come out urgently, but it wasn't clear on which end. Right now, I feel like a retired slug crawling on its own saliva. I was awake till 2:30 a.m., then I passed out, I guess, but when I came to, it all started all over again. Brilliant. Ági told me that her students were complaining about the same condition, so apparently, this disease is spreading nowadays. I couldn't concentrate on my studies, so I saw it better to sleep. I passed out several times during the day, but it was just as well. I hope to get well soon... I've recently discovered an artist on YouTube, Peter Sheeler , who paints watercolours. I know nothing about art or painting, but I love this guy's style and the images he paints. This is my current favourite:...
