Some progress 5 months ago

My problem has been that I never seem to finish the books I start reading, so I decided to try readubg shorter novels. So far it has worked great. During the summer I’ve read so far:
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson
- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Philip K. Dick
- Minority Report, Philip K. Dick
- Galactic Pot Healer, Philip K. Dick



Stay out of relationships for a year
Untitled 7 months ago

I wonder why so many people list it as an objective to get INTO relationships instead of not getting into them? Surely they must understand that getting into them is only natural, but actually staying out is something you need to work on. You could argue that starting relationships also requires work, but out of experience I’d say staying out is a lot harder if you see one forming.

Pronunciation 7 months ago

My previous girlfriend whom studied english at the university got me really interested in being better at english. It’s not that I was bad at it before, but I sure could be a lot better. My pronunciation in the other hand has always been just plain horrible, which I’m mainly concentrating on improving.

Just hearing her pronunce everything with a seemingly real (to me) british accent made me realize how bad my own pronunciation really is. Upon my request, she taught me to pronunce “th” better, and I realized I don’t have to sound like I do. There’s no reason I couldn’t pronunce things well, and I definitely want to.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dream of sounding like a native brit or american, I just don’t want to sound like I’m just muttering the words in my native language.
