Well I’ve already had to cancel one scheduled test and will have to cancel another next Friday...but it’s not precisely necessary that I get all of this done in the next month either, I’ve got a good deal of time to work on my goal. I’m only two months into the year, after all.
I have to be preparing for Farsi and Turkish at the end of the year - I’ve decided I’ll take both, so that I can work on both, because I like both. None of the other languages will need much, if any, prep, so I have a good 6-8 months to really push these two.
The physical side of things, I’ve adjusted my goals in part. I need to meet the hiking goal in about six weeks, but I’m pretty close, so I’m good there. I ran two miles last night in 15:12, so if I’m right and I was aiming at 22:00 for the 5k I’m pretty much there (I stopped because I had 15 minutes to run, not because I was physically done).
I’ve got another test slot Wednesday afternoon, so I’ll either do the Spanish listening or go ahead and knock out German. Then I can do the other next Wednesday, and one of either Dutch or Portuguese next Friday (trying to space out and alternate Romance and Germanic).
All that, but not actually any studying or progress anywhere - I doing want to completely abandon certain other languages in the future, but I think I need to have a maintenance group and only 1-2 actively learning languages moving forward. I just don’t have the time otherwise. I wonder how big the maintenance group can get before it takes too much time to have a “new” language in work...
