Moving Forward
Well, my first major reorganization is now complete. The new procedure for word review has been established and is now in effect. I think I’m ready to take this little fascination with the Russian language to the next level. In the short term, I believe a total review of Declan’s Russian Flashcards is in order. Can’t really give a date on when I plan to have them done, but so long as I keep chipping away at them it’ll definitely be sooner rather than later. The way I see it, any language is simply a unique neural pattern within the human brain. In the short term my goal is simply to establish a trace of that pattern. I may not be able to consciously recall all of it...but its imprint will still be there...tucked away, waiting to be further reinforced and developed.

Resistance
Well overall learning Russian is so far okay. But I feel an entry is order, (+7) is really quite pathetic. The cause of my low morning recall was due to me starting work again this past Tuesday so I’m back doing 12 hour days . While I can’t complain about having well paying work since it is a recession, those kind of hours have a way of eating up time to study Russian. By itself though doing a 12 hour day isn’t really enough to interfere with my learning, it’s this damn flu I have on top of a 12 hour work days that’s doing it. It’s not killing me or anything, but it is causing me to divert time that was marked for studying to sleeping. Low level resistance...it’ll pass though. One, possible two more days and I should be back to my normal learning pace. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

A little rant....(Part 1 => Annoyed)
A little rant....(Part 1 => Annoyed) Interesting, you never realize how small people are...until you start doing something different. And this time, to my surprise, these people are my own damn family. I’ve been studying Russian seriously for almost two weeks, and I’m making excellent progress...my understanding is growing a little by little each day...and my annoyance at family is also growing a little by little each day. I was sitting around one day drilling in words and my uncle asks me what I’m doing. I tell him that I’m learning some Russian, and then he immediately goes off on a rant about this story on how he doesn’t like Russians and has no respect for their country or culture because he met ‘one’ that was a asshole. Like seriously...judging a country of over a 100 million, based on experience with 1 person from that culture...can you say small little man? He even took the initiative to run out and buy me a book (from the 1980s) about this one intellectual who was persecuted in the Soviet union just so I could see how bad and f-ed up the Russians ‘really are’. I’m also getting the whole ‘wannabe communist’, ‘wannabe Russian” and a host of other little comments from other members of my family...sigh. I really love my family, and they are sooooo lucky I do...because that’s about the only thing holding me back from giving a few of them a good punch to the head. Like, I could give a damn if my family doesn’t share my interests...I don’t expect them too, people are different. What I do have an issue with is them getting in my face about it. It’s kinda starting to really piss me off. This is definitely going to affect my learning...though not the way they are hoping. Before it was just a natural curiosity...about a people that could suffer 20 million casualties and yet somehow still emerge as a global power. Now...now lol, its natural curiosity mixed with a whole lotta spite. Even if my curiosity of Russians wanes...I’m still gonna learn this language, just to piss them off. Those days were I actually gave a shit about other people’s opinions have long passed The way I see it, people can either accept me for who I am, or get the **** out of my way.
