During the holidays I've been doing Duolingo since I don't have graduate school reading and homework to do.

I've been competing with a stranger in the league system they have. We were running neck and neck for 1st and 2nd place, about 2000 points ahead of the next player. We've traded the top spot 3 or 4 times over the last 48 hours.

She must have spent hours studying today, because she's now 1000 points ahead of me. Gotta respect the hustle.
