Progress Report Week 11
I haven't done much this week except study with my tutors and Twilight, and practice with Rainbow Dash.  I'm studying everything right now, but especially composition and storytelling.  I've written a few short compositions that my tutors said show a lot of promise.  In my free time I've read pretty much everything I can get my hooves on about fairy tales, legends, and myths of Equestria and other lands.  I'd really love to be able to read the stories in their original languages.  I've asked about getting a tutor to learn Griffon, and some of the older Equestrian languages that aren't really spoken anymore.  They were quite surprised by my request, but agreed.  I think they're surprised by how fast I learn overall.

I just realized I haven't been to Sugarcube Corner in almost a week and a half.  I should go tomorrow.  Take a break from all the studying.  It's just so hard to stop when I get going.  I spent so much of my life unable to learn, now I just want to learn everything I can.  It's hard to even stop long enough to go to flight training with Rainbow Dash; but she doesn't let me get out of it.  "Gotta exercise the body as well as the mind, or you'll turn into a boring egghead," she tells me.  I don't know that I'd mind being an egghead.

Princess Twilight invited me to join her for tea one morning, said she wanted to know how I was doing.  I thought that was odd since she's been studying me so much; but she insisted it wasn't about academics or anything like that, she just wanted to know how I was feeling, if there was anything I needed, if I felt too lonely or stressed or anything like that.  I think that was probably a response to last week's progress report.  I said I was a little lonely, and missed delivering mail; but I was having so much fun learning that I didn't really notice it as much anymore.  She said she noticed that I hadn't gone out for muffins for a while, the way I used to; and insisted that I shouldn't push myself so hard or I could burn out.  I told her I would take it easy and not force myself to study, but I just wanted to learn so much.  She giggled and said I sounded like her when she was a filly.  I laughed with her.  It's nice to hear somepony laughing with me instead of at me for a change.  I learned something else as well; I don't really like tea.
