I would love to sleep later but I like getting off work by 5. When I worked for the insurance agency we worked 9:00 to 6:00 but the evenings seemed so short. It was nice being able to take my time getting to work. I used have some time to myself after my kids left for school. There were disadvantages to working there, such as half days on Saturday, so no job is perfect, at least none that I've found.

I walked to work this morning and had to hurry the last mile since I left a little later than I should. I sure got some aerobic benefits from that. I was listening to a language tape and got so caught up in it that I didn't keep moving like I should have. I'm still trying to learn a language but if I miss for a couple of weeks I have to start over.

I enjoy trying to learn them though. Each language has it's own rhythm that is so great. I think it's interesting to find words that sound alike. The part that throws me is the arrangement of the words. I never quite remember how the parts of speech go together in different languages.
