Checking In

I haven't posted much lately, not because I'm not doing flash cards, but because flash cards are pretty boring when it comes to posting. Save for a couple of missed evenings, I've been pretty good about the flash cards this week and last, and I'm slowly gaining confidence with the forty-some-odd words that I've been concentrating on for the last week of so. Once I've got those down, maybe some time next week, I'll start the whole bunch in rotation using the Leitner System. Last week, while yomping, I listened to سورة ق(Surat al Qaf (an Arabic letter)) and سورة الذاريات‎ (Surat ad Dhariyat, "The Winnowing Winds"). Next up is سورة الطور (Surat at Tur, "The Mount"), which I'll be doing as a reading/listening exercise, maybe tonight if I can squeeze it in.

I mentioned last week that I've started working out, and I'm going to add that to my "reps" posts starting next week. Last week, I think I swam three times and yomped once. I'm going for at least the same thing this week, although if I don't swim today then it's likely that it will be three and one again. Next week, my hope is to start adding pushups and situps. I'll blog about it as it happens. Until then, take care, keep up on your own reps if you're doing something, and all hail Chops!
