The better part of an hour constructing a simple Somali sentence and I'm still not sure I got the grammar right. Osage was much easier than this! Seems like I never do much with languages any more, which is okay--my fancies come and go--except that it feels harder than it used to be. Or maybe that's just me idealising the past and forgetting how many hours I would spend struggling to grasp a point of grammar which seems self-explanatory now.
I finally got an upgrade to my PC at work. I hope I didn't frighten the Jeremy Freedman look-alike who took care of it, but it was a bit upsetting to log in and find all my personal files gone, even if I knew they were all backed up. (Turns out a reboot was all that was required to resync the pathnames or whatever.) It's about time, because the sluggishness on the old machine was really starting to wear on me.

I have the same feeling, and it's driving me bonkers. And I'm not even studying anything new or difficult. I revise French and Italian, and I seem to grow more insecure all the time. It must be this time in life, having accumulated lots of facts etc. When I studied those things in school, it was a build-up of information, and I kind of sucked it in and it stuck. Now it seems like digging in a big container of information, and I can't remember what's right and wrong. It really bothers me.
