Work needs doing

liakuI need to write these application essays sometime soon. Like, really soon.
Also, I believe I'll be holed up reading all through the weekend. I'm some 200 pages behind in politics, and I honestly have very little clue what's going on in calculus. The former is something I want to fix, the latter will probably be a perpetual problem in that class. In either case, I still need to crunch some numbers. I'm also behind in history (not worried about that) and biology (but only because I slept through class today). I am up to speed in Hungarian, but embarrassingly clumsy with some of the cases. "Tessék?" now features very heavily in my conversations.
And no, I'm not taking German, but I've committed myself to reading all of Coraline in German in the meanwhile, probably at a very slow pace of something like one page a night. Maybe slower. So far, I've gotten past the dedication, the opening quote thingy, and two paragraphs into chapter 1. ...Yeah, I suck. I know. But I'm trying.

Heh I know I always brag about my communication wins when I have them, but... how's this for fail:
I was with a hungarian guy. Some slovakian guy was trying to talk to us in slovakian (or whatever the language is even called.) We don't speak that. So I tried english and the hungarian guy tried hungarian, but neither worked. I had previously heard the slovakian guy speaking russian to someone else, and i know my hungarian friend also speaks russian, so i say to him in hungarian: "Speak russian to him. He speaks russian."....
Except that while I *know* the word for "russian," i like never use it. And I mixed it up with something else: "rhinoceros." i'm sure it doesn't sound even remotely similar to most people, but i learned em at the same time and they're permanently mixed up in my head. Oops.
