Old whines in new bottles. Or something like that.

I’m meant to be going to my Dutch course tonight, but due to events*, I’ve not done any of the homework – though I did do an hours Dutch vocabulary writing** on Sunday. I’ve also got a backlog at work, as I left early yesterday to go to the mortgage arrangers & I really should stay late to clear it.  Other factors to consider are: I still feel grotty, thanks to the bug I’ve got, whilst tonights lesson is the last one for 2 weeks. But then again, I’ve established that the lesson is not a priority as I’m going to fail it anyway, so surely the job is more important?

 

As you can tell, I’m feeling somewhat conflicted about it all.

*Like cleaning the house from top to bottom on Wednesday & Thursday on the off-chance that my boss might come over for a meal on Friday, coming down with a cold on Saturday, feeling sick on Sunday & having to go to the mortgage advisor on Monday (the day I normally do my homework) & not getting back until relatively late.

 

**For those of you who don’t know, my method of learning vocabulary is to write out a word & its translation repeatedly, writing pages at a time to drill them into my stupid skull. It usually takes me about an hour to complete a writing session which will cover about 6 – 9 words + their translations, using about 6 sides of A4 in the process. If this sounds really convoluted & inefficient, it is. But it’s the only method I’ve found that works even slightly.
