Last week, the only goal I set for myself was to read D-Day Girls: The Spies who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II by Sarah Rose (which I finished on Friday night!) I was glad that I didn’t set other goals for myself because D-Day Girls was a bit of a tough read (particularly in terms of subject matter – there were a few points where I had to stop reading for a bit because of what happened to the people).
But even though that was the only goal I set for the week, I still managed to finish off a few of my November goals! First I passed Checkpoint 6 in French on Duolingo! That was super exciting – there are only two checkpoints left within the course! Then I listened to the final episode of the first season of Ukrainian Lessons Podcast! I’m excited to start Season 2 – I’m hoping it will help me improve my listening comprehension (I’m finding with Ukrainian right now that I have a super hard time understanding words that I’m hearing; if they’re written out for me, I often find that I did know more of the words that were spoken that I thought).
I also accomplished most of the goals I set for myself two weeks ago, with the exception of some work I wanted to do editing one of my short stories (I keep ignoring it in favour of my language learning). As we’re now over half way through November, I’ll have to make a point of working on that if I still intend to work on a second story next month!
So how’s everything going for you? Are you making progress on any goals you’ve set for the month? Let me know in the comments! 🙂
