Reading, hiking, sleeping and eating! (in that order)
I'm in my village, a very small village in the mountains, almost completely alone. I've been here since July 20th. I spend my time hiking and reading while I lay on the grass, all day alone except for my dog, and no sound besides the wind, some animals and the crickets (and the occasional tractor far away).
Before coming here this summer, I thought I was romanticizing the idea of being here alone (I've always been here with family or friends), and that I would get bored and lonely. Happily that's not the case, and I'm enjoying my time here very much. It seems like time doesn't pass here.
I'll probably leave in around ten days, but for now no worry besides what to read when I'm done with my current book.
Studying, mostly. I'm still slogging through integrals, aiming at getting to differential equations, but I think I should backtrack and tackle trigonometry. It is not one of my strong points. I'm...
Studying, mostly. I'm still slogging through integrals, aiming at getting to differential equations, but I think I should backtrack and tackle trigonometry. It is not one of my strong points. I'm making some decent - and consistent - progress, otherwise.
Otherwise... more studying, trying to increase my German vocabulary - I should work on my grammar but really, what I'm aiming at right now is understanding German texts - and generally shoving stuff into my brain.
I'm irritated because I just killed a flea today, and I don't know if they got inside the house - inside my bedroom - or if the one I caught was just a solitary hitchhiker, picked up just outside the door thanks to the wild cats who live near our house. In both cases, I foresee a lot of laundry and swearing and strange powders in the near future.
I hate living near nature.
I don't otherwise have a lot planned for this week.
