Level 2

As of yesterday I am finally on level 2 out of 5 of rosetta stone for German. I am making tremendous progress in regards to the language itself but I still haven't thought much about my short story other than the synopsis. It looks like it is going to be a lot harder than I thought to learn enough german in order to write a book. I am going to try and produce as much as I can. Hopefully I can finish at least level 3 by the project due date.

More progress

Reading 1984 and doing physics stuff this week has limited my focus on German. I've found the time to do rosetta stone for about an hour every day and I've made it towards the end of level 1. I'm hoping to begin level 2 in a couple of weeks. I do have ideas for my book, though. I will probably make it a story of a rebellious nazi soldier during WWII that does not agree with the views of the faschist party. Keep in mind that this will be all in German and will probably be more like a short story considering we only have until may to complete this project and I've only learned a little more than the basics of the german language. I'm having a lot of fun doing this so far and I think this project really suits me.
