Hey, Fov (or was it Fove?). I appreciate it that you are checking up on me.

The university thing got harder since I transfered to a different group. I'm still studying English, but on a higher skill level. One things that freaks me out is the grammar lessons, led by a nasty-ass teacher. I know I should treat teachers with respect, and I do, but this one is an asshole; not a single person in the group likes her, and we're all terrified to speak up during classes because she's got every insult in the world up her sleave. Right now I'm figuring how to deal with it; letting it go didn't help so far, because due to her insecurity I can't do any sort of proper research in the English grammar with any comfort.

Barring that, I'm managing fairly well. Figuring stuff out. What I found out is that I gotta give myself free time whenever I need it; given that this interrupts my studying, this might pose a problem, because I need those rests. I gotta give preparing way beforehand a shot so that when the rest comes, I can relax. Right now there's some kind of several-days-long presentation on language and its aspects, and since it meant no studying for us, I decided to go to my hometown for a few days - those are the most refreshing and productive days I've had so far. I might want to switch for a different kind of studying, the kind whereby I study on my own for a while and come to the university to do the necessary exams (what's the English word for that?).

How are you?
