Pimsleur Update: 7/20

Hey all!

I had a pretty rough day with Pimsleur yesterday. I think that part of the reason for that was that I was trying to set this blog up as I was listening to the tape, and it was difficult to focus (more on my distractions later). So, today, I'm just gonna dedicate half an hour to it and really hone in and focus.

I'm going to be re-doing lesson 3, so the focus, again, is going to be making statements and questions about being American or French more complex and natural. I believe there is also a bit at the end of the tape about learning to introduce yourself, so it should be fun!

I was just really down yesterday, and I know exactly why: my girlfriend has been having anxiety attacks about college because we're going to school about 4 hours apart starting in the fall, and because of our totally conflicting schedules (she's a swimmer, I'm in marching band), it's going to be difficult for us to find time to make the trek and hang out. I don't actually know why I'm telling you this story, I just felt for some reason it might be relevant to my problems with Pimsleur.

So, the only other thing I have to say is that you should really give this a shot. It's not perfect, and I'm not that far into it, but so far as I can tell, this program is going to work. I definitely remember everything I've learned so far, and it's going at a nice pace.

I'll talk to you all later, I'm gonna go get some Indian food later!
