Well I haven't been back for the past few days as I've been a combination of busy with uni, and gutwrentchingly traumatised with the disappearance of my adorable and troublesome Assimil destroyer of a Beagle. She managed to break her way out of a fully locked house and had a grand little adventure whilst my partner and I spent two days in absolute despair. Fortunately she's back to cause more trouble (and get away with it because she's just so cute!) and we believe we've succeeded in turning our home into an inescapable fortress hardened against even the most formidable intelligence of the escape-bent Beagle...we hope!

So as for my Spanish, not much has happened aside from watching an episode of Castle (S03 E01) yesterday which had been dubbed into Spanish.

Just watched an episode of "Teoria de Big Bang" (S01 E01). My comprehension was a lot better on this than it was for the episode of Castle that I watched two days ago. I'd say Teoria de Big Bang was at about 80%, whilst Castle was at about 70%. It's been a while since I've watched a lot of Spanish TV so hopefully it will pick up quickly if I try to watch an episode every day or so.

I haven't really had the time or focus for actual study, but I did fit in another episode of Castle (S03 E03).

Castle (S03 E05)

Gosh I can't wait till next week when my Spanish unit begins! I'm not really a fan of Philosophy of Mind, which is what has been taking all of my attention these past 3 months (though I do love other philosophy - I'm more of a logic/ethics person!). It will be so nice to be able to make Spanish my focus!

Woohoo! My final philosophy essay for the unit was submitted today so now it's onto Spanish!

My first observations of the course is that it's VERY poorly presented. In the first week's materials I accessed 4 different (very poor) scans of various exercises in 4 different formats (pdf, tif, webpage and word doc). There was no apparent reason for these format changes and it just added to the whole clumsy vibe I'm getting from the course so far. I'm also finding it difficult to navigate the website well enough to get a thorough understand of what is required each week. And I'm an experienced online studier so it's not me!

I'll have a better look at it all today. I'll probably use this journal to help me keep tabs of all of my work.
