Monthly Update -- September

Spirit

I have began meditating again.  I usually set a timer to meditate, with my most normal time being 3 minutes.  I find that usually to be a big help calming my "monkey mind" -- though meditation is an endeavor where the mileage most likely varies from person to person.

I've started back listening to On Being Podcasts while entering grades and other parts of routine clerical work.
Also I watched this Peak Moment video and listened to it like a podcast.

Mind

I am working on moving all of my historical dates that I want to remember from the disappointing Memrise over to Anki.  (mmm. . . note to self: I need to back up these Anki files).

For the first half of the month, I was adding on to my Esperanto deck in Anki on average a few sentences a day and trying to write a sentence in Esperanto every day.

Then I read a history of Spanish Civilization, in Spanish, and I just caught fire, and decided to go for learning Spanish hard.

My current stats for the Spanish Challenge.

242,100 of 1,000,000 words read9 hrs, 30 min of 100 hours of television/video0 of 20 hours of conversation practice


Body

Not a lot here.  Hopefully I have better stuff to report next month.
