It's another nice day. I want to get out for the walk. Today is also deeper house cleaning day. I also want to study some French.

I continue to leave my French studies to the last minute, which is a bad thing. However, despite that, I am getting frustrated by how slowly the instructor is going through the materials. We've been on the same chapter for two and a half classes. The "worksheet" he had us fill out is the same one he sent before last week's class, and part the week's before. I know this is a review for me, but I can't understand how any new students to French would be happy with the slow pace. It is boring (ennuyeuse) for me, but just getting my butt there regularly is part of the challenge (le défi). I'm hesitant to give this feedback because I COULD HAVE taken the higher level, but I didn't. I will keep my mouth shut. I was thinking of trying to push myself to study more and quicker (more chapters) than this level covers. I should stop being lazy (paresseuse) and avoiding it (l'éviter). There are no reasonably priced French study options offered in the summer. If I could get myself to do the work now and this summer, I could skip the next level entirely. Even the next level is just a review for me. Any questions I have I can either google or ask my husband, who studied nine years of French in his youth.
