I don't have exams any more and I have nowhere to go, so I've decided to finally pursue my dream and start learning ancient Greek.
Currently rereading the Nibelungenlied. After that I plan on reading the Epic of Manas.

This summer is going to be great.

I also read Mario and the Wizard by Thomas Mann, but that's such an irritatingly shitty work that I'm not going to count it.

Currently reading my 8th book of the year.
Things are looking up, I'm probably going to get into my university of choice and I can study what I want.
There is also a chance of me going to the US to study.
Actually started writing flash-fiction an poetry.
Translated a bunch of stuff this year.

Things are generally looking up.

I guess the year started off strong and it sort of got weaker and slower as it went on. There are only two books I plan on reading in the weeks that are left from 2019. One is "Death rode out from Persia" by Péter Hajnóczy and the other is the Iliad to make up for that short coming like I did with finally taking my time and carefully reading Hamlet, Dante and Sophocles.
Out of all the books I read this year, I'd say the top three were C&P, The Lime Works and Testimony.
There were a few I started reading but dropped halfway through for various reasons (Like Dostoevsky's Idiot,State and Revolution, and a small collection of short stories and poems by Liu Zongyuan)

Doing revisions. Zooming around google streetview to add descriptions; made a cute new scene where they go on a walk to the pond. It won't be exact since I think the japs burned the palace complex down in the imjin war and it was rebuilt after, but good enough for me.
