Working on a job with normal hours means I do not have much time for myself.

After wasting Monday night away in a haze of nothingness, I have decided I will not surf the web aimlessly. I will not watch TV unless it is a program I want to watch (which is limited to the Paris-Dakar Rally for the time being).

On a very positive note, my grasp Chinese is continuing to show improvement. Having looked up unfamiliar words, it is extremely satisfying when you recognise it in a conversation. "Ah, that word! I know the meaning, but if I heard this sentence 2 days ago I wouldn’t know what it implied."

It’s close to midnight now. It still shocks me that I have to be in bed at 12. Sucks.
