All I want is a certificate for a 10 week course of swimming lessons.
For me, it has always been a combination of both--technique and mindset. I conjugate verbs when I swim laps. I start with German verbs. If I get through all of the ones I can think of, I do French verbs. I rarely get through those, but when I have, I conjugate Spanish verbs. Weird, I know, but I can swim a lot of laps doing that. A friend did addition and multiplication when she swam laps--sort of the same thing. I conjugate verbs when I drive long distances, too.I love the water as well. I can only get about 20 laps in in an hour, I am not a very good swimmer but so badly want to learn the technique.
I talked to my daughter today. She told me he's getting very excited about Christmas day and Santa's arrival. He received a Portable North Pole personalized greeting from Santa and that just cranked things up more. He couldn't figure out how Santa knew his name and where he lived.
I agree, Andy. I don't even like surfing on them as the screen is so small.
And as far as games go... I clicked on Games last night to see what they offered. Everything had a price next to it. You would have thought they would have included a few free games. It doesn't look like it does any more than my smartphone does. And that fits in my pocket.
Oh, to keep this OT, I may just buy myself another Christmas present besides the new sauce pan. My coffee maker is back to brewing terrible coffee again.
You can hack those pretty easily.. and get android apps.. and my favorite. A app that lets you skip unlimited times on pandora..

I am about to find out...we are going to be opening our presents very soon
It is Christmas Day here and it is a lovely day, sun shining, it doesnt get any better than this
No--but I studied 12 languages, so I had a lot of verb conjugations to memorize. Swimming a mile (or more) is very boring. Doing something to get through the boredom got me to the end of the lane every time. This worked for me. I swam MILES conjugating verbs. When I used to run and when I used to do competitive cross-country skiing, I did the same thing to get me in "the zone."Do you have a teacing background?
