 ob: bit exhausted, week ended. Still don't feel on top of all the material or on par with the other students in my class. 
 3.12 reviewing c1 info, doesn't look terribly difficult. Trying to find teachers for literature and things to read. Have way more books than time to read at this point -- and I'm spending a lot of time in aimless wandering and seemingly useless thoughts.

+ob. Spent most of the last month attempting to read books, although I seem to fall into a similar cycle of getting exhausted after a few page (particularly with a difficult work), then distracted, then doing something else (like wasting time on the internet). I still haven't found a good way to bridge the divide between speaking/conversational and "adult"/advanced reading, since it seems like the gap is quite large and the rather dramatic increase in needed vocabulary is not necessarily facilitated by normal classroom study. I think the proper respond might be transitioning into a "college" (or potentially high-school) level study program with peers who are native speakers, and force oneself to learn. An additional problem is that I seem to have fallen victim to a bit of "peer pressure" and am applying myself less than typically -- a lot of this appears to be "in the air" in Rome, as people are here for the "vita bella" and don't seem to do very much beyond thinking of food and sex. I have not figured out a way to separate myself from this energy except to remove myself from the environment, which means moving to Assisi. An alternative would be to surround myself with harder-working people, but I do not even know where to find such. One can readily observe the benefit of the previous "european tour" as undertaken by priviledged English youth of a previous era -- some addtional structure would certainly benefit those seeking to appropriate the best of traditional Italian culture without being enmired in the worst. 
+4.27 Last week I have been in the countryside in new abode. Has been reasonably productive and in the last week and a half I think I have finally gotten into the swing of reading books in Italian. I think I will attempt to continue for the next little bit of time. Retiring to a place of repose with minimal human contact appears to be the "right" way to approach the problem, although greater efficiency could potentially have been achieve by doing this earlier.
