get business cards
Really need to 1 month ago

I’ve been given several, but never had any to give back. I want to get some, but I’m planning to move next year and I’d hate to have a bunch of business cards with the wrong address. However, they are pretty cheap. I suppose I could also get them without my address on them. I wish I’d had them in time to give to my students that I finish with tomorrow.

Become a Polyglot (read all 6 entries…)
Update 1 month ago

I hadn’t realised I hadn’t written in so long. Here’s my latest list.

Musts:
Mandarin (going well, but must get to a very high level)
Portuguese (hopefully in time for the Olympics in Rio)
Sign Language

Very likely:
Korean (I’ve really gotten into K-pop lately.)
Taiwanese
Japanese

Would be nice:
Arabic
Afrikaans
Cantonese

get out of debt (read all 6 entries…)
Finished 1 month ago

I transferred the money last week and my payment went through the other day. It looks like I bought USD at just the right time, too. Now I can start saving. I’m hoping I can save about half my income, but I’d be happy with saving a third.
