Since I'm unemployed and the job market right now seems somewhat difficult, I think it would be a bit nice to make some goals. In the next six to 9 months, I hope to make good progress on the following fronts:
1. Get to CEF C1 / ILR 3 for Chinese.
2. Get to CEF B2 / ILR 2+ for my wife's language.
3. Get to CEF B1 / ILR 2 for Russian.
4. Earn CCNA and CCNP.
5. Learn a few coding languages.
6. Potentially earn some cybersecurity certifications.
All of these things literally take hours to achieve. I'm still jetlagged. I try to use this to my advantage. I don't particularly like to "go outside and play" while in my wife's country because when I do people stare at me like I'm an alien. In a sense, my return to my wife's country has turned me into a character reminiscent of Act I of Old-Boy, where the protagonist is trapped in some kind of hotel room for 15 years and is teaching himself how to fight. But I'm not teaching myself to fight, I'm just teaching myself new skills.
I think the only difficulty to be encountered this month is that it is Ramadan. And during Ramadan, we can't eat or drink anything (medicine included) from sun up until sun down.
