Congrats on the new language friendly job! :) I also have trouble just listening to audio and doing nothing, thankfully I usually spend an hour a day in trains, so if I'm not eavesdropping on people I can use it for study ;)

Also thanks for explaining what you are reading, it's very interesting!!! The books I chose last time from the library were all mind-numbingly boring so I am hoping some of your suggestions may help my enthusiasm for reading in German to come back! My favourite German author up till now has been Rilke afterall, his style is also not everyday!

Thanks for the encouragement! :) Ah yes, a quiet commute where I didn't have to drive would be ideal. (Right now I just walk to class, and it doesn't take very long. Which is also good!)

Funny you should mention Rilke, because we are currently reading some of his and Georg Trakl's classics. :)

15.02.10 was a Spanish day. (Well, not really.)

Spanish:
-audio: Audiria #15 „Entrevista de trabajo”
-articles: “El baile del palo de mayo,” (w/ audio) “Festeja su independencia” (repeated, this time w/ audio)

German:
-article/audio: SIL 18.6 “Aus Forschung und Technik: Erdbeben in Deutschland“

Usually I manage to listen to my language throughout the day, but today was just English, I'm afraid. Meh. Back on the wagon tomorrow.

I admire your regularity... Although I'm not seeing much Russian at all, is that on purpose?
Also, I'd like to know if you're feeling any progress in Spanish? Because sure, I'm learning stuff, but I really don't see a change in my level, unlike Russian where everything I learn is still usable almost at once.
I also find it very difficult to switch languages without audio or video input, especially going from listening to Russian to speaking Spanish. You study at least two languages every day, is that a problem? Then again you speak German fluently, so it might make a difference
