For the past few months, my language training schedule has been -- An hour or more of conversational speaking. A speaking at length exercise and/or interview, with a critique. A reading in depth and an authentic reading exercise, with line-by-line analysis. Every day.
Every day it's the mentally exhausting equivalent of taking the dreaded test (without the emotional stress, fortunately). I'm tired. The strange thing is that I feel like I'm more advanced in Nepali now than I was when I reached a 3/3 in Romanian. But my instructors are making me feel like I still have a long way to go.
A little more than a month to go.

Are you homicidal yet? Sometimes I stare at my teacher and imagine her with a pencil stuck in her eye. And then she says "Mary, are you paying attention?" and I smile and say, "Oh yes."
