Now repeat after me…
Okay, so obviously I’ve been M.I.A. lately. I’ve been fairly busy and haven’t had time to sit down and actually type out the posts that I have been kind of working on in my head. I thought I’d be able to bang one out last night but then it was suddenly 10 pm and I was tired and my bed was looking really, really good.
Like Will Demps good.
And y’all know how much I love to sleep so you can pretty much see who won that fight. Let’s just say I wouldn’t have bothered buying that fight on Pay-Per-View.
I think I may have even came up with a song about it. On second thought, it wasn’t a song but me saying hello to my bed, my pillow, the blankets and to sleep. Because these are real entities that are entitled to a polite greeting.
I dedicated myself to learning Korean. I know I’ve said it a few times before but now I feel especially motivated, especially after seeing the improvement the bf has made in learning. I think he might know more than me! Granted, I don’t know too much but he’s still ahead. I’m at once impressed and embarrassed because, well let’s face it, I haven’t put any effort into learning. No matter what I like to think, I’m not learning anything just by having the book in my room.
So far the resources I do have have not exactly been working the best for me. I listened to the CD that came with the book the bf bought for me and to a couple of the podcasts he also sent but they haven’t been too helpful. It was then that I realized I need to be trained like a dog.
Now hear me out. I’m a visual-kinetic learner. I pick up on concepts a lot faster and easier when I see them and are shown how to do them, one of the reasons why I pick up sports so quickly [and why I didn’t pick up hockey because the motion of holding the stick and swinging just felt so unnatural to me]. Likewise, I do need to know and hear what things are supposed to sound like. Basically I’m a parrot. I will copy until I get it down.
