Day ten of six-week challenge:
talk to someone: 30 minutes
- skype tutoring session
listen to something: 10 minutes
- listened in on part of a Verbling class (I actually listened to way more than this,
but with divided attention, so I'm only counting it as 10 minutes)
read something: 20 minutes
- Despereaux
write something: 22 minutes
- a few pages in Practice Makes Perfect (irregular verbs)
practice vocabulary: 44 minutes

So I accidentally tweeted that I wasn't sure I'd hit 75 hours in August. That
catapulted me right to the top of the challenge for a few brief minutes - until I
figured out how to cancel it out.
