So four months have passed since I returned back to school in September!
The first two months were really trying both physically and psychologically. I didn’t recall encountering a return to school like this. Well, from November, things are going back to ‘normal’.
I have worked on different things besides my job and have continued my studies. I get used to my tasks at school but I had to get used to a new topic of studies!
Along my studies, I worried on and off about some subjects. Still, as I passed exams in lessons I wondered about beforehand, I felt more confident.
So why worrying in advance? It is of no help. It just stresses us more. The result is according to our work and the effort we put into something. Apply to yourself what you advise the others, I thought… so I decided to take my studies in stride. I felt far better! This is available to language learning too. I was so stressed when I had my first English discussions three years ago. I can tell it was not a good approach.
One field after the other, time passed. I worried about mathematics or English lessons and it went all fine. With some more difficulties, I went through biology but passed as well.
November, December and Physics!
I went through biology so what? Let’s go for physics. Wow, a tough time waited for me in this field though -- I can tell that I got my worse grade in this field L -- And you know what? I am relieved, really relieved, to see this lesson coming to an end! Finish, over, the end…
Next subject: literature. I welcome it with open arms. I far prefer dealing with words than numbers. I’m not a scientific.
I love books, I love all that is related with words and all that they could suggest, bring out, create. I admire those who can paint beautifully with brush as well as those who do with words.
That’s it. Yesterday, I received my booklet and a few book. Below are pics of the first two books I am going to study.
I am thrilled to study this lesson. Among the books, there is one story written by Shakespeare. oh la la…
I read a post from Suzanne regarding perfectionism. I understand her so well. Mentioning Suzanne reminds me my promise.
Two years ago, I began to create a story for the LingQ library. It was at a time when I pondered about some more contents that I could upload, what could be of interest. Suddenly, an idea came up. I didn’t know the result or even if it would be of interest, but I gave it a try. If it works, perfect. If it doesn't, well trash were created to be filled.
I was enthusiastic to work on a story. I wanted it a short one. It was not really clear in my mind; I only had a vague idea. I took a piece of paper and began to write. Once I began, I couldn’t stop and created one part after the other. The more I wrote, the more the story came alive in my mind and took shape on the paper. After the third part, only a blank was on my mind :(
I took a pause. I wasn’t inspired for what would come next. I attended to my other occupations and sadly, almost forgot about this story.
A few weeks ago, I promised to create a sequel of it. I will! I’m so sorry for setting aside this story for two long years.
My last post was written in August?? Wow! So many things have occured since then.
Not the time to say more from the time being though, sorry! But soon...
Languages...I eventually am able to work more with English as I was used to be. Even though, it is not enough according to me, if ever one day I find this enough ;) Anyway, I love working with languages. It has become my passion.
Not only English, but also my own language which is French and I have begun to learn Spanish for several day. I have many goals that I want to reach and am working toward them...slowly but surely. It is used to say that it's better not to say too much before it is reached so, when it is the time, I say more.
Here is links towards items in French that I shared on LingQ. I hope you'll appreciate them:

My colleague attended a party last week, and won whole roasted chicken by bingo game. She lives alone, so she can't eat it by herself! She decided to have a small party and invite me this weekend. I'm really looking forward to the party.
Manche Leute freuen sich über den Schnee. Eine Woche ist es nun schon kalt und immer kälter geworden. Heute waren es schon -12°C am Morgen und tagsüber nicht mehr als -8°. Gestern hat es den ganzen Tag leicht geschneit. Im Flachland im Norden und Osten Österreichs gibt es aber immer viel weniger Schnee als im Westen und generell auf den Bergen. In Wien, am Abhang des Wiener Waldes liegen etwa 10 cm Schnee, während es 30 km weiter nur 3-4 cm sind. In Teilen Österreichs sind die Straßen verweht und selbst im Zugsverkehr gibt es Verspätungen.
Hält der Schnee bis Weihnachten? Es soll in den nächsten Tagen wieder wärmer werden und sogar regnen. Das wäre ein großes Problem, da der Regen auf dem gefrorenen Boden zu Glatteis wird. Daher hoffe ich auf eine allmähliche Erwärmung. Aber Tauwetter zu Weihnachten ist nichts Ungewöhnliches und es wird nicht lange anhalten. Derzeit deutet alles auf eine Fortsetzung des Winterwetters hin.
Jetzt ist es Abend und die Temperatur bereits wieder auf -12° gesunken.
Está empezando a nevar ahí en el este de Austria.
Hasta ayer ya no había helada, pero ahora tenemos dos grados bajo cero. En el jardín aún hay unas flores que no se murieron con las primeras heladas. Tendrá que acostumbrarse al tiempo invernal que en todo caso sería más conforme a la estación.
Hace unos meses que empecé a leer La Sombra del Viento. No es tan difícil para mí leer un libro en español en comparación con leer un libro en ruso sin diccionario y fuera de LingQ, pero leí otros libros en inglés mientras tanto y volveré a leer LSDV cuando tenga más tiempo durante las vacaciones de la Navidad.
I went to a Korean restaurant with my mother, sister, brother-in-law, and niece. But I came back home soon because of my stomach ache. I'm terribly sorry that I couldn't enjoy dinner!
Our dog Koro, which is 16 years old, seems demented lately. He is always walking in the garden, and often gets stuck everywhere and barks. It was rainning yesterday, but he walked soaking wet.
At night, we diaper Koro and have him staying in our room. I wonder if Koro can live until the end of the year.
Вчера я получил очки за перевод интерфейса Линка на немецкий. Обычно я покупаю очки для разговоров с носителями языков, которые я изучаю, или для исправления письменных работ.
Уже четыре месяца я предлагаю услуги тьютора немецкого языка. Несколько раз я говорил со студентами и один из них написал короткий текст. Очков, которые я зарабатываю на этих услугах, совсем не хватает мне для моих собственных разговоров. Итак мне нужно быть терпеливым.
Два дня назад у меня появился новый студент, желающий выучить немецкий язык быстро и интенсивно, не с нуля, а с начинающего уровня, чтобы он смог с марта слушать лекции в университете в Германии . Это будет нелёгким делом для него, но я уверен, что это возможно, если он будет изучать регулярно по методу Линка.
I have a stomach ache now. I guess it is because I went out for dinner two days.
