I'm trying to get my life in focus by brushing up these languages to university-entrance standard.
I tell myself that if I don't do it the weeks will fly past anyhow and nothing will be done.
The trick is to use the time wisely and constructively. So I've had to construct a course of my own where I find Youtube reports in German and French, watch through them. Usually I have a good gist of what was said. I listen again, sentence by sentence, word by word. Every word I am not 100% sure of ~ or that I understand (passive vocabulary) yet would not think of using (active vocabulary) I add it to my list... Next I have to watch the video through once more, the new words fall in place. Ideally I would compose some sort of essay using this new vocabulary. This is how most language courses work. I'm just going to have to be disciplined enough to push myself through.
I've been floating over French and German blogs, but, in German especially, haven't the confidence to comment...It's a shame the "civilized" regulations of modern society mean it would be difficult to take a doggie to college ... I thin I'm going to have to sacrifice the furry swine ~ not an OSPCA-type animal sacrifice... well y'know what I mean.
As it is I'm depressed. I'm tired. It's dark already. The day has flown past. Close to midnight already. I have learning to do...
NORWICH TERRIER CARE:
Look at the poor little swine enduring all this:
Grooming the head
Stripping the coat
