The Laundry-to-Learning Ratio

I have finally begun getting requests for conversation partners from the board where I posted about two months ago, but I have not been responding to them.

I feel guilty for ignoring these messages, but every response I compose takes time away from the learning piece of the project. I am desperate to practice Italian, but I don’t want to have to “pay” for it by teaching English right now. Maybe that is a stupid attitude.

Anyway, by the end of the day I had done more than five hours of work in my vocabulary and various grammar books. I actually finished my vocabulary book, and I have almost finished another grammar book.

The downside to all this studying: there are growing piles of laundry that would benefit from contact with a washing machine.
