This week passed rather swiftly, I was busy with work. I'm currently working on 4 different projects and quite often in Teams meeting for project A while preparing slides for project B, answering instant messages about project C and monitoring trials for project D.
The food intake moderation didn't happen. Morning technical study still going strong 3x/week.
I'm having some trouble with Marugoto. What happens with the other USB key tracks is that they are either self-sufficient (with help from my phone's dictionary or google) or I have the digitized version of the book on my phone. Either way I listen to the tracks at home and then I have the opportunity to check unknown words on the way to work. I haven't scanned the Marugoto book (yet) and I also didn't register for the matching website. Maybe I should do both. Or stop doing Marugoto and just keep the NHK lessons.
This week the newspaper reading class was rather uninspiring but the Occasional Chinese Saturday classes were fun.
I bought a Chinese calendar. I regret ordering the small version now because there's lots of astrological stuff that are written in tiny characters. Anyway I'm still quite pleased with it.
I also replaced my old broken breakfast tray with a new one that has china patterns on it Edit: the china which is made of clay. (Couldn't find one with Chinese text).

Fool that I am. I'm supposed to do extensive reading. There's no need to look up or try to remember words that came up just once.
