Autumn Paprika

Category: Education, Elma, Sport — Abula at 0:04 EEST in September 16, 2005

+5 celsius degrees outside, summer soon gone. School has started, I selected 7 courses including two English courses. It’s pretty free term, I only have to sit 6 hours per week at university at certain time. The rest is up to me. I watch lecture videos at home, read book, make exercises and so on. The situation is pleasant, yet dangerous, because you need to have quite high self-discipline to control things. But I’m sure I will handle it.

One of my two English courses is called “Self Access Grammar” which can be done at home or in self-learning centrum. The second one is “Lecture Listening” where we listen to different kind of medium (TV, radio, speeches and so on) and write down notes. We also talk a bit there, which is good for me. Tiny speeches of our own will take place too but that’s not a problem.

I gave up in sport competition. I have had 2 points (90 minutes) per day pace for nine months now but it had gotten extremely annoying when you have to do night walks alone without any other reason except those two damn points. But I hope I don’t stop all sport, just that stupid sport-for-points. Today I will be swimming.

And finally about Paprika. It’s getting very near to publishing due to our good mood latelly. But to set your expectations down I must tell you that Paprika is just the first step of one, even bigger, project. So it might not be as grand as you thought. 88%

aahh, this cliffhanger trick you’ve been doing all the time is driving me nuts. =))

I was aware of the bigger plans. Not at first but later on, I understood what’s under the surface.

If I understood it right. :/

Hmm…I think you proved something to yourself by doing the points-by-sports thing this long. My grandfather has always said to me that keeping in shape is one of the most important things in life.

He’s a bit over 60 now and still actively plays tennis, swims and does downhill skiing, and normal skiing also. On top of that he does alot of physical stuff on our familys summer cottage where both of my grandparents (from my mothers side) stay for the whole summer. He’s been actively moving all his life and it really does show.

So I guess that proves something =]

And it’s true what tijsjoris said about the cliffhangers you do with paprika. If I wouldn’t be aware of what’s going on, I too would be traumatized for sure =]
But it’s good to know that we’re about to reach a ‘resting point’ in its developement.

A few “a”’s and “the”’s missing in your text but nothing drastic. If you wish to discuss them, feel free to ask me in irc! I think your written english has improved some…would seem so anyway.

Untill again
