Training Day 58

What a day... A good day. Just pretty crazy with everything going on at once. I've been really PT light lately but I've been pursuing other projects.

Language: I actually had fun today. Wild, isn't it? And we did our homework in class... I studied more vocab today, of course. The real interesting part is that I met my future speaking partner. It was a bit awkward as I didn't have any time to prepare, was late, and didn't have my books. Still, I met her and now we can start helping each other with our languages. My class leader introduced me to her through his speaking partner. This is really going to help my language learning. I feel like I embarrassed myself with how I stumbled over what should have been common vocabulary so I need to study the old stuff more.

I'm already teaching her new bits of English too... Besides the little tidbits here and there my big contribution to this afternoon's session was the word 'mercenary'. That was interesting.

Gaming: I've been trying to find better mods for Mount & Blade but I didn't even have time to play today. *gasp*

Personal: My hunt for an apartment continues... I found a dream apartment nearby that I am really hoping to snag. We'll see what happens with that.

I chatted with my dad today about this and that... And found out that my step-grandfather passed away this weekend. It wasn't a surprise to anyone. The doctors even said he needed to have surgery to live and he declined. He was 84 years old and had lived a long, full life... I just regret that I didn't get to talk to him quite as much as I would have liked to. Our families seemed to drift apart a bit after my step-mother died. Still, he was a WW2 vet. I felt a certain kinship with him for his service and enjoyed hearing his stories and he seemed to like mine. Of course, mine weren't nearly as interesting.

Pssst... 4
