Going over to susan's house

First I think it's important to note, that our course has been given an assignment to keep a journal of our activities. Purely to practice our use of English language even at home. Personally I don't think that I have it necessary since, being a non-lifer, I most of my time is consumed by the internet and I`m mainly communicating only in English there. But nonetheless an assignment is an assignment and from now on I will try to spam my blog a bit more often.


Now to the important stuff.

Reading through "Modern German Grammar" on my free time I have come to conclusion that I have forgotten the damn language way more than I could have imagined, but at least it's coming back to me fast. I only wish I had more willpower to keep reading that stuff.

The new study semester doesn't seem to have started very optimistically. The main issue are our two grammar courses, both of which, as it seems, have the same program but different lecturers just slightly different names. Frigging ridiculous, but have no other choice than to bear with it and do the usual - the best that I am able to.

Also, just finished up a home assignment for lexicology (no idea why I uploaded it) and grammar, currently taking a break but still have some stuff to do planned since aside from doing my home-work I need to refresh my memory on some stuff (like passive and infinity in grammar), study a bit ahead (gerunds in grammar) and maybe find some additional literature for phonetics. Doubtfully Hopefully I will manage to do all that by today too.

Update: the Advanced Grammar in Use torrent seems to be semi-dead but while searching for other sources I found this torrent . Quite useful too, just have to yet go through the whole damn list.

Accidentally stumbled upon this torrent of a book collection .
Quite a find.
I don't really believe that there ever was a DVD with all this or that anyone scanned all of them by hand, so have to wonder how did it all ended up there. First guess would be that someone hacked their database or smth.

Also, I`m lately very distanced from anything and trying to hide myself in online games. /emo mode on/ The goddamn bills are getting me depressed, even more so because it's not actually my own money I pay them with. Also thanks to that I don't have as much money for provisions and thus I end up saving on food and have to deal with a bad diet. But oh well, it will all pass with time...if not, then the worst that could happen is that I could die and I bet at that moment I shouldn't sound as bad...it doesn't for me even now. /emo mode off/
