1st March lunch blog

howdy hey ho cowpersons,

IT WAS -18°c THIS MORNING!! eeeeyuuuuckkk!! this morning i stayed in bed ´till 7:00, no fitness, but thats ok, this evening i have arnis (a philippine type martial art, with sticks or knives that we do in addition to our normal JuJutsu training) so i´ll get my movement in today.

yesterday i had the first class of follow up chinese, i have had our teacher before, and naturally she wanted to know why i repeated the starter course, and if the other teacher was better, and what she did better etc. and then she clawed me, why i´m not better, and why i havent learned more, etc. wow, we are only three people in the class, but we need at least 5, if i´m lucky, they´ll cancell the course, i´ll get the money back, and i can look for private lessons, or set up a small class with just a couple of people and a private teacher. i know that my biggest problem is to make myself study at home. i lack the self-discipline to really study at least 1/2 hour per day, so i usually cram before the next course so i dont look totaly stupid.

what i also want are the flash cards, i dont know what the system is called in english, you have a long box divided into 4-5 sections, and place the cards in the first section, and rotate these until you know them, then you place the well known cards into the next section, and review these less, and so on, until all cards are in the back section, naturally with chinese i would need a really long box for about 10,000 - 20,000 symbols (lol) just kidding, i need to start with at least the first 200 that are in our book. i have this system on my laptop, but these are really about 1,000 - 2,000 symbols, and not in the order of our book, so- so far i haven´t used it much.

well back to work now, lazed off enough.

Yo!
