You seem to have a very busy schedule here, and you seem to think you can just 'learn' German in that time? Might want to redefine your goals there in regards to that :P Like even if you did an hour a day for 3 months you would still be very much a beginner

True, but it would be better then what I know now :tongue:

I've touched it here and there due to some stuff I've done with opera but I like a challenge :h:

Off to Wales next week so will do an update then :smile:

also on a more random note, just back from Ikea :ahee:

Considering there are people that do languages for A-Levels and GCSE's who do an hour a day over about 4 days or less, I'd say after 3 months time you'd no longer be a beginner. It's surprising how fast you can pick up a language with constant practice

It probably depends on where you live, but you can get to Exeter fairly cheap if you go by Megabus!! I went in June to visit my girlfriend and go to an open day and paid £30 for both ways (from Birmingham)! It depends on your budget but if you were to go by train it would be at least £60 for both ways, if not more. Though it does take longer than the train, sadly.Good luck!

So sadly, working full time has meant that I'm going to find this a bit of a struggle but with me moving off to university in the next few weeks for grad school I thought why not? :ahee:

So my list will consist of:

- Going to Wales for the first time to see my new field site
- Learn two languages, python and possibly German
- Learn to cook a wider range of food and document this
- Do more baking :ahee:

- Be more adventurous in jitsu, I'm learning how to do a handstand and do more crazy things which hopefully I can get some on video
- Lose some weight and get healthier, I know I'm doing the body blast but thought I could stick it here too
- I'm doing Edinburgh Fringe for the first time! Going to explore more bits of one of my favourite cities :yep:

- Do a random weekend away somewhere, thinking of doing Exeter possibly if I can afford it :h:

- Spend more time with friends - I've really neglected this sadly this year :frown:

- I would say learn how to swim however I don't know if that will happen :tongue:

- Grow a plant and make sure that it lives (failed plant bio 3 times :colondollar:

)!
- Become more flexible

Let's see if I can tick any of these off :colone:

You should have came to the beach with Tim and I yesterday I managed to scratch one off my to-do list. I have pics and everything :tongue:

You must both try again. One cannot go through life without keeping a cactus alive.

I'm now awaiting Jack to use his horticultural expertise to write you one hell of a long detailed action plan for your cactus :tongue:
