Nightly Report

Today being Saturday...

Goals
I should specify these are more for weekdays, that will bleed over into the weekend. Meaning this:
  1. Everyday Sun-Sat: Pray, read portions of the Bible and another good book, and journal it. (30 min.)
  2. Weekdays: Mandarin study. In class time (3 hours) and studying outside (3 hours). Going to class is easy, studying outside will require accountability - anyone interested? I should spend 3 hours to preview, prep, and review. Then I want to study other material for an hour or so... maybe this is unrealistic.
  3. Weekdays (maybe weekends if needed): Fitness - going to the gym at minimum 3 times each week.
  4. Weekdays (with a caveat of no more than 3 times on weekends): Check Facebook, email, and such (no more than) 2 times a day.

Devotional
As per the previous post - I did have my quite time today.

Mandarin Studies
I didn't plan to set aside massive amounts of time for studying Chinese. In fact, on Saturdays I have no plans as of yet to study, unless I am going somewhere alone. Then I put on my headphones and listen to Pimsluer. I was able to update to Pleco Dictionary 2.0, which means I have been working the new flashcard program a lot! It is great. I have done a lot of those, but haven't really figured out all the settings yet, so the cards don't repeat as frequently as I'd like.

Fitness
Doesn't apply - it's Saturday.

Internet

Yes, I checked once this morning, then again before heading out, and tonight. I needed to keep up with a thing or two, specifically an email about accountability. I guess it could have waited, but I am doing better. I had greater self-control today.
