Reading was fun tonight. It was nice to have my brain start to see things, albeit with help. I can start to see what I don't know. Maybe that sounds weird. What I mean is I am starting to recognize enough to say "I know what that is supposed to be, but I don't know that form yet." I really need to get a better handle on vocab, though. It's not much good figuring out how a word is to work in a sentence, but not knowing what it means.

Notes from tonight: I must nail the full paradigm of definite articles. And I need to remember the definite articles on the vocab cards, since I can't just figure out the gender of third declension words.
