Scattered thoughts:
-I wish my due date for essay X had not been postponed. There is no reason for one
assignment to take so long, having done satisfactory research.
- I feel a large amount of shame towards my poor grammar skills. Shame is an awful sensation. I think in the future I will try to enrol in a grammar class with really annoying exercises and worksheets, as having read grammar books this semester hasn’t really improved my comma usage. Also, my previously accurate usages of “to” vs “too” have been corrupted in the past month.
-I really enjoy compiling budgets. Using Excel reminds me of cleaning, as when formulas are inputted correctly into Excel, it is apparent. This sense of completion produces a large feeling of satisfaction.
-I really like the Bible. I should read it more. I have noticed recently the amount a TV show sticks with me. If I watch House at night, the next day I will continually think of its plot, the characters, etc. Because of this “stick-i-ness” I think if I read the Bible more, I would be a much more spiritual person. I should try this experiment. (Replace TV watching with bible reading/mediation and examine thought process output. Hypothesis: This lifestyle change would result in me becoming much nicer to Ben and Adam).

You were lucky to be brought up speaking English, and now needing to learn some of the fine mechanics of the language. It would suck to come from any other language and try to learn English.
For example, what's the plural of leaf? What's the plural of deer?
And then orally, how do you pronounce the words bomb, comb and tomb?
I know this doesn't really relate to your post, but know that what little remedial work you need to do to improve your writing is little compared to that which someone learning English for the first time would have to go through.
I appreciate this now that I'm learning French.
Also, it's unfair for you to start sharing something personal, then leave your readers hanging.
That is all.
I am confused. What personal thing?
Your statement, "This lifestyle change would result in me becoming much nicer to Ben and Adam," implies that you're not nice (or not nice enough) to Ben and Adam.
Ha. Well I am often not.
Hmm..I actually think it would be much easier to learn English as a second language simply because the resources are so much more available...
