Crunch Time: 152 days left in 2010

Here I am again... Seems like I always end up in this position. I was to do X in Y number of days and I'm always way behind schedule. My goals are just to grandiose I guess.

So, there are 152 days until the end of the year and I have a ton of Chinese to learn.

On the positive side, I finally have a good list of sentence patterns (including examples of each) that I can begin working off of. I'm comfortable with the first five patterns (out of 30 something).

On the negative side, my overall vocabulary is still in the range of several hundred characters.

Redeeming points for Chinese Help...

It sounds silly, but somehow my wife and I started this system where she'll help me with Chinese if I do more housework. For example, she'll give me a point for washing dishes. I can then redeem that point for up to 15 minutes of Chinese help. So, the two PDF's I uploaded were both reviewed by her so at least I know that I can safely study/memorize them and still be learning correct Chinese grammar and vocabulary.

Uploaded "Sentence Patterns" and "Daily Review" PDF's...

I created a web site on Google where I could stored my PDF's. Uploaded the "Sentence Patterns" and "Daily Review" PDF's and added links to them from my blog (the right rail).
