Consistency

So, I wasn't terribly consistent last week, but I tried to at least listen to Arabic throughout the week. This week, I've done fifty flash cards per day, twice a day (the same fifty), right when I wake up and right before I go to bed. I've been trying to develop routines for the morning and evening.

Morning

Bible reading

Book of Common Prayer reading

fifty Arabic flash cards

And...

Evening

repeat fifty Arabic flash cards

repeat Bible reading

Book of Common Prayer reading

The intention was to do this last week, but let's just say that last week was horrible, and I'm impressed that I had the mental will to even make it to bed by the end of the week. So... Anyway, yeah, as I'm writing this, two hundred fifty reps with the flash cards already, hopefully another five hundred by the end of the week. I'm also going to try to do another reading from the Quran in English and Arabic, because I'm not sure how much good that first one did me, but I think that if I do more of those, they'll help. If I can keep it up this week, then I'll try to do at least one lesson out of the book next week.
