    Today, it is June 16, 2010 and it is the first day I am writing into my diary. Why did I decide to write into my diary. Well, I have heard several times that writing is a good method to improve a language you learn. I have never focused on it before but I am very curious about it. I have watched some polyglots and they talked about this method to learn languages.
    Anyway, I got up at 2:30p.m., because I went to bed pretty late last night because I was chatting with some people on "SharedTalk" up to 6a.m or something like that. Before I was asleep, I listened to English a bit and then I changed to German. I even slept wearing my headphones. But I woke up at 10a.m because my German podcast still played.
    Anyway, when I got up at 2:30p.m., first of all, I turned on my computer and looked at
    LingQphorum what was new there. Maybe 10 minutes later, my housemate came to my room in order to print a page because he wanted to post a packet with something he sold on "amazon". We chatted a little bit about routine stuff. Then I checked new emails which I got.
    Well, I did not get any interesting emails.
    Time really flied and it was maybe 4p.m when I realised that my tutor would come in 30 minutes. I was hungry because I did not have anything to eat, so I went to the kitchen to make fried eggs. It was made in 5 minutes. It is really fast food, I ate it as quickly as I could and after that my tutor came. We had our conversation together about several interesting topics. I told him about targets in languages and about brushing up my German and about finding a job. He finished at university and he is looking for a job. SO he told me that he practised some questions which he could be asked on the interview on Thursday. I am curious about his interview. We should have our conversation on Friday, so he might talk about his interview.
    He told me that he would go to Thailand on July 10 2010 for a month. So I will not be having any conversations with him for the whole month. By the way, he said that the writing is a good method for learning languages as well and he recommended me topics to talk about. Because I did not know what to talk about before.
    Anyway, after the conversation ended at 6pm, then my tutor left my house and after that I chatted with some friends on Skype. One hour later, I had my German conversation with Reinhard for a hour. It was quite good. I wrote my first text in German and we discussed this text in our conversation. He told me what mistakes I did.
    After this conversation, I watched some episodes of Friends. I really like watching that series.
    Anyway, It seems to be quite long text for my first day writing to my diary :) I just want to say that I went to bed quite late, something about 5am in the morning.
