Я опять очень работала вчера: мне выла некогда, а вечером училась старые словы в Анки. А потом смотрела телевизор. Была плохая студенткой.
А севодня я училась один урок моя руcсково книгы, и один принстонково курса.
По-испански я смотрела телeвизор про Хаити (Haiti). Совсем кошмар. Очень много люди убилый.(I don't know how to say "die" but I want to work with what I know and I'm really not sure you can use убилый as an adjective)
Севодня я занимаюсь три часа русским языком и час испанским. Неплохо.
I worked a lot again yesterday so I didn't have much time and in the evening I studied old vocabulary on Anki. Then I watched TV. I was a bad student.
But today I learnt one lesson of my Russian book and one of the Princeton course.
For Spanish I watched TV about Haiti. It's a real nightmare. A lot of people were killed (died).
Today I practiced Russian for three hours and Spanish for on. Not bad.
Spanish: 22 hours
Russian: 36 hours

Hey, Joanthemaid! Yes, I totally understand about the sentences. Now that I'm actually using the SRS that way you're supposed to (only putting in a little bit each day, instead of like 400 words at once, and regularly reviewing what Anki tells me to), I am seeing that if I sit down and am super focused, it takes me about 30 minutes to get through the three decks (Spanish, Russian, and German/other things I'm learning). And that's if I'm super focused! I now really respect people who have amassed a lot of words and do Anki every day--that in itself constitutes serious study, in my book.
And you are quite impressive yourself. I have the feeling that when you sit down, it's for a good chunk of time (like hours), and you get through a lot of useful material. With me, to be honest, I'm usually able to sit down and study hard for 90 minutes, tops. And then I start to waste time and have to do something else. I really admire people who are able to sit down and work for hours on a task. That's another thing I want to improve this year.

Hoy no puedo escribir mucho por ser un poquito borracha. Por la noche fue en un bar con amigos y por la tarde ayudé a mi madre para acabar con su arból de Navidad, pero por la mañana estudié el español. Dí entrada a las que no conocía de los 200 palabras más común del español y los 50 animales más común. Y miré un momento a la tele en español.
Hoy: 3 horas de español
Total: 25 horas de español
36 de ruso

Didn't do too much work either today or yesterday.
Yesterday I reviewed my Spanish on Anki and did one lesson (15) of the Princeton course.
Today I did a bit of reading on wikipedia (in Russian, so it must have been about 7 lines), and a good deal of passive listening, as I didn't have my own computer most of the day. I also reviewed vocab in both languages on Anki. I didn't learn anything new though. Tomorrow I'm not working (I will have to prepare some course, but I'm staying home at least) so I'll be able to study a bit more. Still things will be pretty busy for the two coming weeks.
Yesterday: 1.5 hours Russian
30 minutes Spanish
Today: 1.5 hour Russian (not counting the passive listening as I was multitasking and so not really listening at all)
30 minutes Spanish
Total:
Spanish: 26
Russian: 39

Yesterday: Course 16 of Princeton
1 Spanish lesson in LingQ
A lot of chatting with my Russian pal, but mostly in French
Put little stickers on my keyboard and am now able to type in Russian, yeah
Today: Course six of Russian grammar book
Catch-up on Anki Spanish reviews
One hour watching RTVE (Haiti plus something about an international tourism fair in Spain.)
A lot of hours but also a lot of distractions, multitasking and plain zoning out during those two days. Will try fewer, more efficient hours in the future.
Russian: 4 hours (plus keyboard updating)
Spanish: 2 hours
Total:
Spanish: 28
Russian: 43
