Maybe I am more advanced, but I'm still slow at basics, so I thought about getting them fluent first. Already changed my mind. As to TA - if I only had a little bit more time I would've started it. I should think about doing small amounts right after I'll manage to finish Полиглот coiurse.

Dropped Полиглот long ago. Maybe I've realized that there are too many mistakes, maybe it's about something else, but it doesn't really matter.
I have to admit that my biggest March action somehow connected to German was to listen to Harry Potter und die Heiligtümer des Todes. I do enjoy that, but something manages to keep me away from going on. So far it's 61/311 audiofiles and I'm not sure when I'll be able to continue.
Not to mention that the best option would be to do LR of that. But I'm really lazy and busy enough to think that I can't do it.

Getting back on the German track a little with Duolingo. I've never
managed to stay long, but that's doesn't mean that I should stop
trying, eh?
Need something for my English, due to the lack of free time I can't
even remember how long it's been since I haven't seen an English
movie... going to fix that too.

Dropped any activity in learning German apart from staring at cases
table, watching movies, listening to songs and counting.
Getting little of Swedish by watching Wallander (Swe+Eng).
Constantly practice English and feel nothing good about it. If there's
a breakthrough happening, I do not feel it yet.

Decided to challenge myself a little and started reading of Vanity Fair. Even though I've read it in Russian it's terribly hard to read thoroughly...

The very thought of reading Vanity Fair is long gone. I clearly can't bother myself with this kind of literature now. Though I'm curious if I'll ever be able to...
Have some misty plans about expanding my studies list. To be honest, my activities on German and Swedish are ridiculously small, so I have literally no idea what I'll be doing with MOAR of languages, but still I'm tempted to try to do something.

On a whim I went to a bookstore with my best friend and then we decided to buy each of us an English
book. Unfortunately, some of them were kinda expensive for students (Rowling's "Casual Vacancy", for
example, would cost me like 21$ whereas my monthly grant is 73$ approximately), so we've chosen out of

Wordsworth Classics. The bookstore has a weird system of forming prices, both thin and thick books
worth the same 200 rubles, so we ended up buying thickest ones just for the sake of being rational. She
picked up Sherlock Holmes stories and your humble servant got herself "100 Selected Stories" of O. Henry.
I have already tried to read that and things are bad. I barely got through the introduction, then read "The
gift of the Magi" relying on my memory only.
I hope, however, that it'll become easier and easier as I'll be going further in my reading. Plus I usually read
from my smartphone anyway, so even if O. Henry won't be understandable, I'll find something to keep me
occupied.

You do know that many of these classics are now public domain, right?
Eg., Sherlock Holmes:
