Can you believe it? I've been training for a hundred days now. Some more than others... but I've been making that little bit of effort (and more) everyday.
Language: I've been thinking about my apartment... What if I were to model it after the homes in my target country? I could try to live in accordance to their culture, patronize the various shops they have in this area, go to their church, join the local friendship society... I'm thinking if I blur the line between my life and my target language that I'll be a better linguist. I also need to learn the culture to really understand the language and the Corps has tasked me with being the resident expert.
I showed up to speaking practice today and waited for half an hour before recalling a vague memory of my partner telling me she wouldn't be coming due to work. Whoops. And it's all my fault.
Fitness: Same ol', same ol'.
Medical: My disease has progressed to the 'headache' phase. Ugh. At least my feet feel a bit better.
Apartment: I called around and figured out that AER is a better deal than a pay advance from admin... So I went to AER today. We took a few minutes to go over my budget (OW) then I had to fill out a bit of paperwork. He says he is going to call the Marine Relief Society for authorization tomorrow morning and that then I could pick up the check during lunch! Then I can move in!
Personal: A few of my projects are slipping to the wayside as other ones take on more prominence... but when this is all said and done, life is going to rock. And in the middle of all this something has come out of that little whim of mine... Where all this leads I don't know but I'm willing to try if other people are.
