Things I want to concentrate on NOW

a.k.a.
Controlling or trying to control the mikka-bozu tendency

The two books mentioned earlier were inspiring, really.

One of the tricks I learned is to try to concentrate on some items at a time, for a while. And see how things go.

Deadlines are a part of (my) life and have to be taken into consideration.

• I volunteer as AFWJ's Journal Editor and there are fixes bi-monthly deadline. I just finished the December Journal last week. I will be busy in January with the February edition and in March with the April edition. My last. Another volunteer will take over from May).
• University of London exams are held usually in May. It means that I have to start working on the 2007 exams NOW.
• I recently applied and was accepted in Penn Foster College's AA in business management program. The program and exams can be done online (we get the study guides by mail) and they are pretty flexible. I just have to make sure that I finish a semester within the time limit (one year)

For the time being, I concentrate every other month on the volunteering and try to regularly work at my BA in French exams, business courses and Japanese studies.

I also want to improve my translation and French skills and really want to apply by the end of March to the Boniface translation course. The reason why I have been kind of procrastinating is the admission exam itself.

See for yourself:
The text is here...
For the exam, we have to read the text and list the principal and secondary ideas, summarize the text in 500 words, translate the summary and answer some questions.

And I don't like that text (and its lack of focus) very much...
