Setbacks

Things haven’t worked out lately.

I first came to the conclusion that my strategy for better listening skills was not paying off. I found out the hard way: by a failed test. My strategy probably made me spend too much time on writing than on actually refreshing my vocabulary. There’s something I can do about that. I hope that’ll bring better results.

Then I fell sick, making me skip weeks worth of lessons on China business development. Luckily, teachers did provide ample reading- and study material. That allows me – by means of self-study – to at least get the knowledge conveyed during the training.

If this is the wishing season, I’ve got a few to make 2014 starting better than 2013 ended.
