Over the hump?

How are you guys?

There's often this fight between two parts of me, one which is well aware of things I want to do and another which is well aware of the (nondisposable) time it'll all take to be done.

This time, after some coaxing by the former half, the whole being was convinced to be back (definetely, hopefully) to posting.

After all, we're supposed to be over the hump of the steep learning curve of the language. From here on honing skills is mostly a matter of perseverance and exposition. (Right?)

Well, straight to the point, I'll tell you a tad about my recent English-related activities. I've read: a selection of Sherlock Holmes' tales, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Fight Club. Last three weeks I've been engaged on a quick foray reading a physics book written to be accessible to non-specialists: Molecules, the second book of the series Physics for Everyone, by L. D. Landau and A. I. Kitaigorosdsky.

Now I write this last sentence in the nick of time I'd stipulated for today: see you!
